[Clue @clue]

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.

1. periods are not gross, they are normal and natural

2. if it's not unprofessional to talk about your bad back or your hayfever, the same applies for periods

3. grow up, half the world has a period and there is nothing to be gained and so much to be lost by stigmatising them
