Pinky Gloves (
@pinky_gloves
on Insta) is a German start-up ran by men who think menstrual blood is unclean and that gloves are necessary when changing tampons or pads.
Where do we even begin? There is nothing unhygienic about period blood. This is period shaming.

Hi
@jk_rowling
, using non-gendered language is about moving beyond the idea that woman = uterus.
Feminists were once mocked for wanting to change sexist language, but it’s now common to say firefighter instead of fireman.

@jk_rowling
It seems awkward right now to say “people who menstruate” but this is just like changing other biased language.
Menstruation is a biological function; not a “woman thing.” It's unnecessary to gender body parts and doing so can restrict healthcare access for those who need it.

Not all people who menstruate are women. Changing the way we speak about periods can help affirm trans people who get their periods and begin to shift culturally normative views. We do this at Clue by saying “people with periods” instead of making it into a gender thing.

In the 1900s it was thought that taboos developed because early societies knew of “toxic, disease-causing effects".
The term menotoxin was coined after doctors concluded that flowers handled by a menstruating nurse wilted faster.
We now know that menstrual blood isn't toxic.

These taboos have contributed towards stigma, and even in the 21st century, the idea that periods are shameful and dirty persists.
From Pinky Glove's IG:
"Women can avoid unpleasant smells, bacteria and germs in the garbage, and keep the used tampons from the eyes of others."

Some people who menstruate are not women. They might be trans men, intersex, genderqueer or use another term like nonbinary.

Britney Spears says she isn't allowed to remove her IUD under her current conservatorship.
This has stripped her of her rights to reproductive choice and bodily autonomy. Every person should have the right to decide whether they want to have children or not.

Bisexuality isn't a phase, it's a legitimate sexual orientation. Being attracted to people of various genders is a stable preference for many people – and those people don't have to 'prove' they are bi with their choice of sexual partner.

Britney is engaged and will soon be free to make her own reproductive decisions.
Being denied the right to have children is common for women in conservatorships. Reproductive rights are human rights. This choice is still taken from people with cycles far too easily

Estrogen and progesterone are high during pregnancy, but dip dramatically after birth, causing sadness, insomnia, irritability, anxiety, and tearfulness. The "baby blues" peak around day five postpartum and may last for up to three weeks. You got this!

JK Rowling has objected to the phrase ‘people who menstruate’ being used instead of 'women'.
Here's why it's time to move beyond gendered language when it comes to bodies and healthcare, and beyond the idea that women = uterus.

millions of women in the world but
not as spoken as it should be). I'm
doing good being very well cared

Not all women menstruate and not everyone who menstruates is a woman. Trans men, non-binary and intersex people can all get periods. Gendering a biological function can be alienating for people who don't fit within the common definition of "woman".

In 1971, a women's self-help clinic introduced the "extraction method", a revolutionary development in period management.
A suction device was used to evacuate all contents of the uterus, shortening periods from around 5 days to just a few minutes.
It never went mainstream.

Trans men can get pregnant, too. How do they navigate a healthcare system that isn’t set up for them? We spoke to Bennett Kaspar-Williams about his journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum - and what he wishes everyone knew about his experience.

Reminder that bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation and not 'just a phase'. Men and non-binary people can be bisexual. Being bisexual does not always means that an attraction towards more than one gender is divided 50-50 evenly.

Having a period isn’t tied to gender. Menstruation is a biological process and is part of a reproductive system that is largely associated with women – but not all women bleed and not everyone who bleeds is a woman.

When diseases and medical issues are gendered, it makes it harder for trans and gender noncomforming people to assess healthcare. That's why the language we use is important, even if terms like 'people with vulvas' or 'people who menstruate' may take some getting used to.

People of all genders have periods and everyone has the right to healthcare. That doesn't mean that women can't be women. It means that there is a distinction between biological sex and gender identity.

Don't know who needs to hear this today but when it comes to breasts, there's no one-size-fits-all. Having one breast larger than the other is completely normal. The media hypersexualizes female bodies in a way that doesn't reflect reality.

Miscarriage is not caused by anything a pregnant person did or can control. 70% of early miscarriages happen when the genes of the egg, the sperm, or both, are not typical.
Understanding what miscarriage is and why it happens is an important step in removing stigma.

FYI: You can refuse intimacy anytime or all the time, postpartum or not. You don't owe your partner sex.
If anyone doubted that the world of pregnancy apps is a misogynist, batshit, blameful place? I just received this notification, complete with alarm bells, at week 26. Note: this app is called Flo. It’s a period tracker that switches to a pregnancy app. It’s really popular.
