Default Now the NHS quietly removes the word 'women' from its MENOPAUSE page

Hmmmm I’m against the erasure of gendered language in medical writing, it’s a very real issue BUT…

In this case the shift is a completely different writing style from third person “when a woman…” to the second person; “when you…”.

If that’s a general shift in their writing style of these ages to me sue them more personable/conversational and less medical/formal, then it’s not the same thing.

I’d feel differently if it had been changed to “a person” or “an individual” etc.

Maybe it’s their way of going under the radar
