People With Periods

Learn about your body with the full explanation. Couldn’t have said it better. 👇👇
Why is gender-inclusive language so important when talking about periods? Because not all women menstruate and not all those who menstruate identify themselves as women. Trans-, non-binary or gender-neutral persons can also bleed monthly. Therefore, the portrayal of menstruation as an experience that only women have is not entirely true. Marketing messages and products especially are strongly designed for supposed gender-specific characteristics, as is the case with menstrual products. However, cis-s*xist assumptions about menstruation and bodies can exclude and discriminate against certain individuals. This is why we talk about menstruating PEOPLE. 🎈🌈
