Hi Milli- Thank you for the important work you are doing.
I absolutely agree with you that the current gender-inclusive language seems mostly or only to apply to WOMEN having to make themselves accommodating to transwomen. We are tying ourselves up in knots and erasing women and girls’ experience in the process.
I have just been on to ‘ testicular cancer UK’ website and it is totally chap-friendly. No qualms about calling the disease ‘ a young MAN’s disease’ and as far as I can see, no effort to include transwomen and their preferred pronouns in the prose. I cannot see here how to send images but you can see for yourself!
Thanks once again- I think that your writing is brilliant!
