Ian, could you do an automated tag on "wava" quicker than I could do them manually?

Sticking my hand up, I looked at the menopause and periods thread and thought about it. There are people who are non-binary and trans who will be affected by this so imo women shouldn't be a tag. Periods and menopause fall could fall under menstrual (like when in a shop instead of feminine health it's menstrual products)

Also there will be some women for whom the periods and menopause don't affect.

I’ve already cooked dinner, I’ve got to clear up next.
I had this internal debate earlier when I was tagging “Ladies Who Lift.” In the end I decided just to tag the activity and not the gender.

Yes, thinking about it, I would be inclined to leave out gender tags for peace and harmony.

I feel I've opened up more of a discussion than I meant to. OK, so if we don't use "women" as a tag, what do we use? If it is useful for someone who is interested in a thread about women's bikes or women's running shoes to see other threads about women's bikes or women's running shoes, how do we achieve this in a suitably sensitive way when the tags are, presumably, visible to all?
I did refer to "health" in my earlier post, but I suppose many gender-specific health issues have their own name anyway. So maybe that's not such a problem. It's where there's no gender-specific word but the item can be gender-specific.

As I say to my children, anything is for anybody.
I don't know what the alternative is, but nothing is gender specific.
