Campaigners have accused St. John Ambulance of 'wiping' women after publishing official resuscitation guidelines that refer to 'people with breasts'.
Critical activists from Gender say that the online advice of charity about how the best defibrillators can be used, insults women by not mentioning them while they still use 'men'.
St John Ambulance was confronted today with an online play because their website page was widely shared, entitled 'How to do CPR and use a defibrillator on a person with breasts'.
After a series of similar controversies, it comes to the use of 'gender -neutral' language through charities and health authorities.
St John Ambulance also advises people who perform resuscitation on not only removing bras, but also breast binders, often used by young transgender people to flatten and hide the appearance of breasts.
The CPR page on the official site of the British charity states in a subdivision: “People with breasts are statistically less likely to receive bystanders than men, let's change that.”
A series of studies has suggested that women are less inclined to receive CPR from bystanders than men when they suffer suspected cardiac arrest.
And a report by St. John Ambulance itself has built up similar problems in October, with the emphasis on their 'Alarming new research that shows that a third of the British are afraid of giving resuscitation to a woman because they are worried about touching breasts'.

Gender critical campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen, who runs the group, lets women speak, is one of the critics of the language because of which she says she knew 'women' knew '
The step -by -step manual of the ambulance charity for the use of defibrillators led to a recoil
The charity continued to say: “And the same part, one third of men say they are worried that they will be accused of 'inappropriate' moving when giving breast compressions to a woman in cardiac arrest in public – versus 13 percent of women.”
Campaigners have now accused St John Ambulance of undermining support for women with the phrasing of the CPR guidance that is shared online.
Gender critical activist Kellie-Jay Keen, who runs the group, let women speak, said that she was 'disgusting but not surprised' by the terminology on the CPR page.
She said to MailOnline: 'People are understandably fake why a woman should be deleted from an association with the word' breasts'.
'It is now a very strange place where when the word' woman 'must be used, we are now usually repressed with some dehuman language.
'Women have already been disadvantaged – for St John ambulance to do this now, makes no sense. I don't know for who it is. '
The Women's Rights Network Campaign Group said in response that St. John Ambulance needed 'immediate medical treatment', adding to it: 'They have developed chronic memory loss and forget the word for half of the population.
The St John Ambulance Guide is at the head 'how to do resuscitation and use a defibrillator on a person with breasts' before he gives eight steps to follow cardiopulmonary resuscitation
The formulation of the advice has brought criticism on social media site X, formerly Twitter
“Those 'people with breasts' are women, they have no problem saying 'men', so why don't we deserve the same respect?”
Maya Forstater, Chief Executive of Campagne-Charity Sex Matters, said: 'It invests that some of the worst offenders when it comes to slaughtering actual, sex-based language medical organizations.
'Sex -based language is especially important in the reports of public health, which must be clearly understood by people with learning difficulties or English as a second language.
'To reduce credibility, St John ambulance must withdraw and re -publish this guidance with the help of factual and generally understood language.
Answers online, because the CPR guide was shared widely today, include 'disgusting' and 'so @stjohnambulance knows what a man is, but does not know what a woman is? They think that the opposite of a man is “a person with breasts”? '
One of St. John Ambulance's advice in the step-by-step CPR guide of the organization is: 'When the helper returns with a defibrillator, ask that it is called in and to remove the pads while you continue with CPR.
'They have to remove or cut clothes to get to the bare breast of the victim. This includes the removal of bras or binding if the person wears one. The helper must cut through the bra or binder in the middle or side of the clothing. '
The charity had launched a new campaign on CPR last October and said that 'the consciousness of the issue of women with which women were confronted wanted to increase – after a survey had determined that 23 percent generally agreed that they were less inclined to give a woman in public than a man.

England and Chelsea -football player Millie Bright and DJ Ashley James supported the launch of what St John's ambulance called 'The World's First's First Educational Bra', with the message: “It's ok to save my life.”
MailOnline has contacted St John ambulance for comment.
The latter follows a series of furores about 'gender-neutral' phrasing, with NHS lines itself criticized for avoiding the words 'women' or 'mothers'.
Last year there was anger at International Women's Day as a report from the Care Quality Committee on NHS pregnancy services that were repeatedly referred to gender -free 'people'.
Campaigners accused civil servants of not only downgrading a hospital confidence that they were failing patients, but also that they have women 'dehumanizing' with their language choice.
The CQC announced that it dropped its overall assessment for pregnancy services in the Great Western Hospital in Swindon from 'good' to 'needs' improvement' after an inspection.
During his findings, the committee often used the word 'people' when referring to those treated at the maternity unit – a choice attractions called 'frightening'.
At other times the word 'women' was used, but usually in sentences such as 'women, people who use the service and their babies'.

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board was convicted last year as 'scandalous and cowardly' after advertising a role to support 'birth people'.
And the NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust, on social media, in August 2022, searched for 'birth people' to give feedback about its perinatal services.
Conservative then health secretary Steve Barclay ordered a study in February 2023 into new guidelines that NHS employees told to treat all patients as 'gender-neutral'.
And MPs previously called on the ministers to board after 77 Health Trusts were affiliated with the NHS Rainbow Badge scheme that rewarded them for dropping 'gender language' of policy, forms and signs.
Other gender -neutral terms introduced in the medical profession are 'chestfeeding', 'second biological parent' and 'bonus hole'.
