Various countries including Mumbai as per the article linked have gone to the trouble of changing the stick figures on their traffic lights to that of a female.
The problem with that is, would that not indicate that only woman can cross and visa versa.

Superdrug has launched 'inclusive' sanitary towels, removing any indication from them that they are for women. Pink packaging etc. Now they are for 'people who menstruate'.
The marketing guys must have been pissing themselves with laughter when they came up with this! 2 -

Also is it actually a woman just because she's wearing a dress? Cue the collective indignation and fury and warbling about how gender is a social construct. Or something.0 -

Funny enough, they are slow off the mark doing that, gender free sanitary items have existed for a while according to a quick google.. I imagine that in the near future laughing about this will be as frowned upon as it is now to poke fun at someone over race or ability etc. It's human nature to sometimes get nervous over change.. I'm terrible for it tbh, i still use real butter!.1 -

The bad thing is women in India often wear saris so this is a western centric depiction of women. The good thing is men and women both wear pajama kurta which this icon looks like. So it all works out in the end

(Pink packaging or non pink packaging is obviously not the concern - my Kotex are actually in a black package, Always brand - dark blue, other Always - purple).
Thankfully the Coombe still seems to be referred to as a woman's hospital, you will know things have gone to the sh1tter if its ever referred to as a people who menstruate hospital
A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
