Period tracker CLUE doesn't seem to know which sex gets periods - "Not all people who menstruate are women...." WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Why the push to erase women by products that are FOR women?

I’m pissed off. Literally millennia of being told how disgusting our natural cycle is— for this? Not even allowed to call what is honestly a fairly integral part of being an adult human female, as being female, as being about women.

Men don’t bleed once a month CLUE, like they just really don’t.

CLUE - a PERIOD tracker - "Not all people who menstruate are women. Changing the way we speak about periods can help affirm trans people who get their periods and begin to shift culturally normative views. We do this at Clue by saying “people with periods” instead of making it into a gender thing...Language around gender is evolving, and it is our aim to ensure that women and people with cycles feel comfortable using the Clue app. Pursuing a healthy, shame-free life is the right of every human being."

What a load of BS; and why would any woman trust a period app that wants to erase women?!?!?

BOYCOTT CLUE

Clue is a shitty app that NEVER got my cycle predictions right you’d think it was designed by a man, and if you ended up having to switch to pregnancy mode you’d have to pay. Other apps are free and have more options. Fuck you Clue and your undeserved sense of superiority over other services, you’re snobs and it shows. Go service “menstruators” and leave women alone.

Edit, for clarity: I’ve always been very regular and other apps actually got all their predictions right. “Clue” has no clue.
