For the men too, if his motivation comes from distress then indulging the lie is not helpful for him. If the motivation is erotic, then it is not helpful for society.
Amazingly enough, not only can men (not) magically transform into women, but many women are also sick to the back teeth of pretending that they can achieve this feat. Particularly when it comes to intimate care issues, sex matters.
This does not stop those fellas in frocks getting together to share tips on dealing with their "periods" however; you may never look at a can of tomato paste in the same way ever again: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/private-spaces
Healthcare has been very slow to talk about the ways some men fetishise women’s bodies and our physiological functions. The basis of safeguarding is “trust no one”, including me, for good reason.
When women’s health can’t even define what women are and lets men cosplay to perpetrate a lie, that’s the epitome of failure.

Yes.
We understand lying to mentally ill people isn't helpful to the people and extremely damaging to society.
But when it comes to men and their fetishes, backed by a business standing to make billions from going along, everybody loses touch with reality.
Reading about the money is more eye-watering than reading about the fetishes.

Let me edit “slow to talk about…” to a more a accurate wording: “deeply resistant to even acknowledging…”
Thank you Elaine. This article is very important.
THanks, we have to talk objectively about women’s right to bodily autonomy.
Great article, thanks Elaine
Absolutely shameful..
We women who needed pelvic Pt spoken here- https://exulansic.substack.com/p/trans-identified-man-larps-as-female
Thank you! I’m ashamed when my profession lets women down - it is not difficult to get it right, we just need to listen to women.
Brilliant piece Elaine
Thanks xx
