‘Cougar puberty’: Queensland Health in trouble over perimenopause Facebook post

Women's groups are unhappy about Queensland Health's rebranding of perimenopause.

Queensland Health has been embroiled in another social media post bungle after suggesting that perimenopause would be better named “cougar puberty”.

The post appeared on its Facebook page before being deleted after a backlash.

It read: “The internet recently rebranded perimenopause and honestly we are here for it. Rawr!”

Then added: “Perimenopause? Uncomfortable. Confusing. Often whispered about … Cougar puberty? Powerful, validating. Worth talking about!”
