So, SO many people menstruate; in addition to the pain and gore we suffer, it& #39;s made more awful by the shitty "this is gross, don& #39;t get it near me" reactions from small-minded individuals.
Time to normalise talking about periods.

And let& #39;s face it, the more we keep bleeding hushed up and secretive, the more we support the idea it& #39;s something that *should* be hidden. 50%ish of the world population consists people who menstruate, or did, or will do. Let& #39;s get it OUT there...

People with uteruses have been menstruating as long as people with uteruses have existed. Let& #39;s get RID of the idea we should bleed quietly. It& #39;s as normal as breathing. As normal as digesting. As normal as any other physical function.

Let& #39;s teach ourselves, our kids, our elders, and especially anyone who seems to be too fragile to know about it. It& #39;s #BleedingNormalAs to have a period.

Tell me your period stories. Tell each other. Tell everyone.
