Gender again. Sorry!

If only 44% of girls and women asked in the UK know where the cervix is - a country where we have a decent level of literacy, sex education, science/biology lessons and kids have access to books and the internet - then it's unlikely to be known by girls and women in other parts of the world where women have none of those things. It's also less likely to be known by those in the UK who have English as a second language. 'Women and transmen' rather than 'Everyone with a cervix' ensures no women miss out on what could be life saving information.

It's not correct to say of women, insinuating the population.

It sort of is. Most survey sampling to get a figure for "the population" is very small. The results of 1000 to 2500 surveys are usually extrapolated to a high degree of accuracy.

On another forum (Ok it was fb) two GC women were comparing notes in comment saying that they don't want trans women to walk in and see their cervix. I left a comment suggesting that women who have their cervix showing should see their GP, which resulted in a bit of a pile on for saying so. The amount of women who think they pee from their vagina is scary.

 

[monkers]

That's not correct.

You're right. AS is confusing it with melena.

Hermatochezia is the general medical term for blood in your poo (the bright red 'normal' colour blood). Melena is sticky, dark blood in your poo.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21250251/#:~:text=Melena is the passage of,usually in or with stools.

(At 60 (earlier in some areas) everyone should have received a test for blood in their poo. Available to buy and test at home for £15 but obviously pro lab test is best. If you're over 60 and haven't had one yet, check with your GP and get one, it's really important).

Hematochezia is the passage of fresh blood per anus, usually in or with stools.

Yes, this is how surveys work and always have done. It is simply wrong to make such statements of fact without citing how the it is made. Like with adverts on TV that make such claims like one of those shampoo adverts you might see, you will always see in barely legible terms admittedly, something along the lines of "out of a survey of...." or "we asked "X" amount of people" as to make it past the advertising watchdog... They are claims, not facts....

There must be a social media contagion link.

There is a sudden increase in folk reporting they've got DSD

All seem to be identifying as some form of trans.

Best keep off the old social stuff

Newcastle football club seem to have got themselves into some really hot water over banning Linzi Smith.

Secret dossier, spying on her movements, her home address, tracking social media activity. Sent to police, who interview her and then suddenly realise there is no offence at all been committed, just normal sex based comments

Legal action coming NUFCs way

Been a while since someone said to avoid social media, on social media. Always raises a smile.

Does a football club require an offence to be committed? I asked N, she said she can make no comment without sight of the contract that fans agree to.

Football stadiums are privately owned and mostly only open to the public at match times. N says the law around public and private spaces is notably messy and confused. It will boil down to contract law on the right to bar people. N says that the case will interest her to follow but makes no prediction of the outcome. A club has a right to bar people without giving a reason, but if they provide a reason then they need to be on a sure footing. GDPR is not really an area of specialism for her to comment on.

There's definitely more to the NUFC story than is being reported.

Almost certainly.

The key fact is that this story has only been reported on outrage news outlets to get the idiots clicking.

'Facts' based on sampling are mostly controvertible, especially when based on very small sample numbers.*

*Such as, for example, elite trans athletes.

The NUFC/Linzi Smith spat is just another minor incident involving a private company, not another sign of the country going down the pan.

What I find laughably ironic is that a company owned by Saudi Arabia as part of its sportswashing strategy, and with that country's liberal, progressive attitudes to LGBT issues, appears so vexed by the views of one of its customers.
