My phone knows my age and sex. It knows I’m male.

Why can’t I hide or remove the menstrual cycle tracking from Health? Quite obviously, it’s irrelevant.

I actually thought it was for cycling as in bicycles the first time I saw it.

Presumably there is a gender out there that can be male and physically or otherwise menstruate or have a menstrual cycle of sorts. I can't keep up with the times. Is there an option to be a cat or some other things? (not sure if non human diversity is a thing nowadays or not. sorry i didn't mean to be offensive I'm just curious)

The greatest thing about being a human with free will is you have the agency to ignore something that is of no interest to you.

In options uncheck it, don’t see it, it’s gone, all good.




Normal ain't coming back, the crazy stays.

Exactly this. Trans men still can have menstruation cycles.

So it appears Apple has removed your right to choose.

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not!

 

If you aren’t, think back to intermediate or high school classes on puberty...

All I know is that you can’t ride it.

Ahhh yes, good old 'social education' class at high school. It wasn't my strongest subject, I have to admit.

None of the arguments above in any way alter the fact that the user should be able to choose what parts of the App they see and use, surely?
