A teaching resource intended to improve access to outdoor activities for teenage girls, can’t say those words.
“Research shows that for some young people, managing their period in the outdoors can be a challenging and isolating experience. Some students have said they want their teachers and outdoor leaders to be more active in their support of menstruating students.”
The whole weird thing where they think they are building the esteem of teenage girls but refuse, like you say to name them. Pretty demoralising I imagine. What I am is to dreadful to name.
There is the Midwifery Council's scope of practice that excludes the words woman(en) (except in the te reo version) and mother and delivers services not to women or mothers but to 'whānau who are planning a pregnancy, pregnant, birthing, and postnatal'. https://midwiferycouncil.health.nz/Public/10.-Aotearoa-Midwifery-Project/Aotearoa-Midwifery-Project-Scope-of-Practice.aspx There was a second round of consultation that finished a year ago and which had not been reported back except to certain insiders. But just this month there has been an announcement that the new scope of practice has been adopted and will come into force in July next year. There are many other problems. The scope of practice is a legal document that describes the practice of midwives but this doesn't do that. The previous version of the scope of practice was supported by only 1 of 14 Midwifery organisations. The feedback was utterly scathing. But nothing changed. No feedback report was released for this second iteration and yet it was hardly likely to have been more positive. It provides services to whanau rather than women in direct conflict with the Health and Disability Acts provisions about informed consent where medical services are delivered to individuals. https://www.midwiferycouncil.health.nz/common/Uploaded%20files/eMidpoint/eMidpoint%20November%202023.pdf
Almost like a small group of loud activists are busy at work making it too uncomfortable for people to follow democractic processes for fear of being targeted as a transphobic hate group?
Thanks. That looks at a glance an amazing initiative, and it's tragic they don't mention a really key aspect of the cancers they are describing. I wonder if they are just trying to avoid getting piled on or are they actively pushing this stigmatisation of language?
