Its fine, here. Everyone knows that @MadhulikaKhanna really means sex in the paper.... but on the other hand @PlanUK have a whole programme on how menstruation affects some school pupils, but it has thrown away both the words 'girl' and 'female' to describe the pupils it affectspic.twitter.com/N9EycNozd2

And Plan is an org that says it's *all about girls*....and yet it's promoting the idea that there is no objective reality of being female. You cannot stand up for girls while at the same time making it unsayable that female children are girls and will grow up to be womenpic.twitter.com/K3XbYhdh6b

Thank you for flagging an important issue. I was following the conventional norms of Economics lit. Glad I learned something new today :)

I've got a bee in my bonnet about it! https://medium.com/@MForstater/international-development-lets-talk-about-sex-eb9de927c787 … Male & Female are sexes -- 'gender' is the social expectations applied to people because they are male or female

Can we have a response from
@PlanUK on this. I really do not want to withdraw sponsorship from a girl in Nepal. But I am no longer going to support organisations which refuse to recognise the way in which poverty and patriarchy combine to impact on biological females. -
(oh just to be clear there is no specific link between this paper and Plan), I just happened to have them both open on my screen
