Reasons to stop acting like “menstruation” is a dirty word

  1. It’s fucking not.
  2. It harms trans and nonbinary people who menstruate to refer to menstrual hygiene products as “lady products,” “feminine hygiene products,” etc.
  • It erases us.
  • It misgenders us.

3. It silences people who experience menstruation by discouraging us from talking about it.
