The founder of the charity Endometriosis South Coast, has caused controversy by suggesting that endometriosis is not a gynaecological issue, days after the charity appointed Steph Richards, a male-born trans activist, as its chief executive.

Jodie Hughes, speaking on BBC “Woman’s Hour,” challenged the characterization of endometriosis as a “gynaecological disorder,” suggesting that this label may be impeding further medical research into the condition.
