PERIODS are not = MENSTRUAL CYCLE

🏋️♂️ vagina: the canal of the 2/3 hole, connecting the vulva and cercix
🩸 period: when the endometrium sheds

MENSTRUATORS - a term NOT MEANT to dehumanize women or lessen their value to just their periods. It's a term to EMBRACE that not all women menstruate, and not all menstruators are women. MENSTRUATORS includes transgender men and nonbinary friends who might menstruate.
