Minha opinião é a mesma. E ao meu redor, já estou vendo isso acontecer: pessoas emburrecendo.

I want to normalize talking about something that is often treated privately, but that the majority of humans have personally dealt with.

Periods.
Menstrual cycles.
Being on the rag or visited by Aunt Flo or any of the other phrases we've turned to in order to hide the discomfort.

And, to do so I'm going to be putting a content warning on all of the replies and polls below, because some people are genuinely disgusted by the topic and don't want to interact. Which is fine for them. But if you are interested and curious and also want to normalize this conversation, please do click in. And boost this message when sharing the CW polls so that context can also easily be found.

I will be adding new questions/polls daily for one week. If you get tired of seeing these posts, just imagine how tired we are of bleeding.

Chapter one polls are closed
Chapter two polls are closed
Chapter three polls are closed
Chapter four polls are open (only two today as I'm currently experiencing flooding in my home--periods are rarely convenient, but I want to complete this polling cycle and will hopefully have a little more energy tomorrow to ask more questions)
Chapter 5 polls and a pop quiz are open!
Chapter​ 6 polls are open!
Chapter 7 polls and questions are open!

Chapters Ovulation are now open

All polls will be closed by the end of Nov 21
