Is the exclusive use of the word "women" (and "girls") appropriate in this article? There are men, nonbinary people, and intersex people that experience menstruation due to having a uterus; using just "women" seems to me like it overly generalises the group of people that experience it and excludes trans people. (Usually I'd be [[WP:BOLD|bold]] and change it myself, but I'm on mobile and also don't have the energy for a big edit like that right now.)

Menstrual blood vs Menstrual fluid
Please note that the 35-50 ml menstrual loss per cycle refers to BLOOD, not fluid. The amount of menstrual fluid, which includes mucus and endometrial tissue, is much more. Please refer to, e.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3494145/, and for a simple language explanation, to: https://rubycup.com/blogs/articles/how-much-do-you-bleed-on-your-period, and the references cited there.

Use of the word "women"
Is the exclusive use of the word "women" (and "girls") appropriate in this article? There are men, nonbinary people, and intersex people that experience menstruation due to having a uterus; using just "women" seems to me like it overly generalises the group of people that experience it and excludes trans people.
