This is the same outlet that ran victim blaming junk science by a theologian as an article about long covid. To anyone who believed the Wired article about long covid last month, note how bad their article on perimenapause is. @wired.com is not a legit source anymore.

It's something that impacts 50% of the population and has been ignored until very recently so of course it's going to be growing fast

Demand for hormone therapy has spiked, creating a huge market for telehealth startups. Four leading startups in the perimenopause space – Midi, Winona, Alloy and Evernow – have raised millions. Midi has already become the first “menopause unicorn.” www.wired.com/story/inside...

wired.comInside the Perimenopause Industrial ComplexHow an alliance of tech startups, MAHA operatives, and actual medical experts made millennial women the new face of hormone therapy.

Since the pandemic, Americans have embraced telehealth, and they’ve also warmed up to compounded products sold by virtual clinics. Both of these changes have helped to set the stage for hormone therapy’s big rebrand.

Do you think perimenopause is fad? That women are lying to get trendy treatments? This framing is disgusting.

Many people who might have previously considered a compounded hormone too risky, or who might have preferred seeing a doctor at a brick-and-mortar location, are now comfortable being prescribed these medications over the internet. www.wired.com/story/inside...

The potential customer base is vast in part because a remarkably long list of ailments are attributed to perimenopause and menopause. Some doctors worry that there are so many symptoms that almost anyone with aging ovaries can qualify as plausibly perimenopausal. www.wired.com/story/inside...

While it's absolutely good to shine a light on medical quack products that chase health buzzwords, this article is kinda shit. Perimenopause is a "buzzword" right now because historically it's been entirely ignored by doctors and society, it's very very good that it's getting attention and support!

This article is trash and @katie-drummond.bsky.social should fire the dipshit who wrote it.
