Perhaps Florida lawmakers never learned that a girl can't predict when she will get her first period. If a 4th or 5th grader gets her first period in school and can't talk to a nurse or teacher, what fear might she be made to feel? #aperiodshouldendasentencenotagirlseducation

Banning young girls from understanding their menstrual cycle increases shame and school absenteeism. Staying informed has become more crucial than ever. #menstrualequity #healtheducation.
🆘. Watch Florida State Rep. @StanMcClain tell Rep. @Gantt4Florida that his bill prohibits young people from talking about their period…. WHAT?!?!
