Comedian Cariad Lloyd Hounded Off Twitter By Anti-Trans Trolls

British comedian Cariad Lloyd has deactivated her Twitter account after anti-trans trolls attacked her for using inclusive language when talking about periods.

The star posted on the site yesterday to encourage her followers to donate to Bloody Good Period, a charity aimed at eliminating period poverty.

She said: "Jane Austen was a Super Plus fan, Lizzie preferred a Mooncup and Emma didn't leave Hartfield without her Thinx.

"But some bleeders in the UK can't afford sanitary products, imagine the scandal at the ball!"

Cariad received backlash from some online users, who took offence to her use of the term "bleeders" rather than women.

They stated that her description refers to all people who menstruate, trans men and non-binary people included.

Graham Lineman, who has been vocal about his opposition to transgender rights, was among those who criticised Lloyd for the tweet.

The comedian later deactivated her Twitter account.
