Women’s Health Writer Is Censored on ‘Always’ Website… For Saying That Females Have Periods

by Richard Eldred
17 September 2023 7:00 PM

The popular sanitary pad manufacturer Always has requested a parenting website replace terms like ‘women’ and ‘girls’ with gender-neutral language like ‘people’ in articles about periods. The Mail has more.

The words ‘women’, ‘girls’ and ‘females’ should be removed from online articles about periods to avoid offending transgender people, a sanitary pad manufacturer is said to have told a website.

The firm Always reportedly issued the edict to the parenting site Good To Know to make content it sponsored ‘inclusive’.

Writer Milli Hill told the Mail on Sunday she was “outraged” when the website changed all mentions of women or girls in her contribution to a recent article about helping teens with their first periods.

‘Women’ and ‘female’ were replaced with ‘people’ or ‘bodies’ in the piece, entitled How can I help with my daughter’s first period?

When Ms. Hill raised it with an editor at the website, she was told Always wanted it to use “inclusive language” because “not everyone who has periods identifies with the label girl/woman”. …

The author accused Always of “censoring” her to pander to transgender rights activists who claim it is discriminatory to say only women can have periods.

The issue goes to the heart of the row over the erosion of women’s rights in the name of inclusivity. “I was absolutely outraged when I saw the final article, as it was obvious that I had been censored,” said Ms. Hill, author of The Positive Birth Book and My Period: Find Your Flow And Feel Proud Of Your Period!.

“My words had been changed to fit an ideological agenda, which is a rather terrifying thought experiment that I don’t think the people at Always – in their quest for ‘inclusivity’ – have given much thought to.”

In the article, Ms. Hill wrote that periods were “a normal part of the experience of being female”. This was changed to remove the word ‘female’. Meanwhile, a reference to ‘all women’ was also amended so it became ‘all bodies’.

Worth reading in full.

So Kemi Badenoch insists the justice system in Clown World ( formerly known as Great Britain ) is fair and Tommy Robinson’s prison sentence was therefore just, because of course he pled guilty, guilty of disobeying an unjust court ruling, let’s not forget. If anyone thinks this woman, or anyone else who takes over the helm of the Tories, is going to make a blind bit of difference they’re daft as a brush. But I do wish people, both black and white, would stop banging on about her ethnicity. Totally irrelevant to everything, but then the colour of one’s skin has become politicized and is being weaponized in this woketastic world we now inhabit, and it’s pathetic. To deny this fact is to deny reality;

”Kemi Badenoch on Tommy Robinson sentence. Despite tiptoeing through the minefield, she is just like the rest, and admits it’s all about social cohesion, presumably whatever the cost.”

Just in Romford alone, everyone jailed last month and not a single white person among them. Surely this can’t be right, Mr Khant? What happened to ”diversity is our strength” and how we’re meant to celebrate the rich tapestry that is multiculturalism?

”Men who stabbed a man to death outside Dagenham Heathway station, a teen who murdered a 16-year-old in West Ham Park and an Ilford paedophile are among the east Londoners locked up this month.
Here are the names and faces of the men judges have put behind bars in October 2024.”

So now we know government, for all parties, is about social cohesion whatever the cost. Which, being interpreted, means using every tool to persuade people in a collapsing nation that all is well in the best of all possible worlds.

Given the fault-lines obvious all around, that would appear to be a fool’s errand – but then no doubt the politicians also tell each other that all is well in the best of all possible worlds.

Yes, and that’s exactly why Starmer won’t ever do a damn thing about that vile black supremacist Dawn Butler.
Another two examples of nasty racists here, making out that Badenoch is some sort of traitorous ‘uncle Tom’ or something. But then what would you expect from somebody whose pathological hatred of white people motivated him to write a book called ”The Psychosis of Whiteness”? It’s these scumbags who are the enemy of ”social cohesion” and causing division, society’s perma-oppressed. Not some phantom ”far-right” Neo-Nazi types that the government would have us believe;

”These vermin hate black people who succeed on their merit, as opposed to off their race.

They are the vilest racists in our society.”

Respect to Kemi for her answer here. The constant reference to skin colour and ethnicity is beyond tedious and is just insulting, frankly. Most people couldn’t give a toss about your skin and are more concerned about your policies and subsequent actions;

“I think the best thing will be is where we get to the point when the colour of your skin is no more remarkable than the colour of your eyes or the colour of your hair.”

And yet you, as a Jewish person defending every action of Israel and the right of Israelis to their own RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC NATION, and you choosing NOT to live in the UK, but in Holland, and say you work in Belgium, yet mysteriously have all the time in the world to make comments on here all day every day, are telling the INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH ISLES that they are “racist” for not wanting an Ethnic African female to represent them???

SHAME ON YOU, HYPOCRITE!!!

This says it all Mogs. Baddenoch clearly does not understand the British justice system and furthermore has no understanding of the concept of political prisoners. She is a complete non-starter.

Next.

Sorry but I thought I should use the mention of TR to give this warning to anyone wanting to contribute to his fees etc. Over the weekend I contributed to both helptommy.com run by his Urban Scoop, which seems in order; and savetommy.com run by Canadian Rebel News. Strongly advise not to use the latter.I have been receiving messages purportedly from my bank both on my landline and my mobile (very few people have my mobile no.) asking me to press buttons to verify the transaction etc. My bank has confirmed that my credit card transaction has not yet come through to them and all messages are fraudulent not from them. So my payment to savetommy.com has now been blocked as has that credit card and I will be issued with a new one with a new number.

Maybe YOU, as a Jewish person who called us all Anti-Semitic for criticizing Israel, SHOULD ALSO WISH THE ISRAELIS would stop “banging on about their ethnicity and right to their own ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS STATE.”

NO NIGERIAN VOTER IN NIGERIA WANTS A WHITE SWEDISH WOMAN to represent them as their National Leader. That is perfectly right and normal and natural.

“‘We can’t afford to let farmers die tax-free’”

One marvels at such malevolent stupidity. But when the Canterbury MP resigned the whip, she said that not a single one of the Labour party’s rural affairs team knows anything about the countryside. But is seems they’re incapable of rational thinking, too.

It is a repeat of mining, in that once a farm is lost, the glue of the rural community is lost also. . It is inexplicably stupid.

“‘Migrant hotel king’ rakes in £4.8 million a day”

One public comment on the Syrian “refugee” filmed bashing a bird’s head against a rock at an RSPB reserve, then promoted to manager after accusing the “old white man” of treating him “like a slave”:

— “My friend’s daughter has a Syrian as her partner. HE FLED TO AVOID THE DRAFT. But he admits his family etc back in Syria are PERFECTLY FINE AND LIVE A NORMAL LIFE THERE. So why are they all allowed here? Not enough checks!”
