## Resource

Ever wondered why a female health campaigner writes ‘seggs’ instead of ‘sex’, or uses an emoji instead of a medical term? Turns out social media platforms are systematically censoring medically accurate content on topics such as menstruation, fertility and menopause – often misclassifying such content as “adult” material and limiting its reach. It goes further, with femtech entrepreneurs also finding themselves routinely censored. Enter the brilliant Clio Wood, co-founder of CensHERship, a research hub and campaign that has ending this sexist nonsense in its sights. Our Mick chats to Clio about exactly what’s happening, why it’s happening and how it’s having a negative effect on everything from women’s health outcomes to the global economy. Members of our Patreon £5 and above gang get some extra chat, including what Clio makes of the Government’s new Women’s Health Strategy. You can access that by visiting patreon.com/standardissue And if you’re not already involved with our Substack, you can find that at standardissuepodcast.substack.com or sign up on our website, standardissuepodcast.com.
