The NHS in England has inadvertently revealed itself to be a misogynist organization, eager to belittle women to the point of hardly mentioning them at all. This becomes clear when we compare the language used to describe diseases unique to either men or women.
Their web pages on ovarian cancer use the word women a total of 3 times. They also mention trans persons as people who can get this type of cancer. However, their pages on prostate cancer makes no mention of trans people, and they use the word men no less than 18 times.
The underlying message is clear. Women are not to be seen, heard or mentioned. Men, on the other hand, are treated as complete human beings.
