A real interaction I had one time N: “last period?” Me: “3 months ago” N: “you could be pregnant. Did you take a test?” Me: “no I don’t need to” N: “even on birth control things happen” Me: “it’s impossible” N: “it’s not.” Me: my fiance is trans…he doesn’t have the right parts”

Idk…personally, using a pad on your period don’t sit right with me. What do you mean you wanna sit in your own period 🩸?

Real talk: women get paid less, spend more on everything from pads to birth control, and men still get to make decisions about our bodies. Must be nice being overpaid for existing.

Men who really really really got it like that loveeeee wild girls. They love girls full of life. They love sensual beauty. Don’t let creeps shame you out of your power.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Pads and tampons should be free for girls.

@Zarish5062 Cheese board dinner: valid, delicious, zero dishes. Freedom tastes amazing.

Hot take: the "girl dinner" era gave women permission to admit they don't want to cook every night and I think it genuinely improved lives. Normalize the cheese board as a full meal.

Me: I am just feeling really sad today, I’m not sure why. My bf: *sniffs my head* You’re about to start your period, that’s why. Me: I’m six days away from my period, what do you mean??? My bf: Your head smells like toast whenever you’re on your period,

I love women who got scars and still romanticize the moon.

@Zarish5062 You deserve space to grieve her. She wasn’t lazy.

LATE DIAGNOSED WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO FUCKING MOURN THE CHILD WHO GOT CALLED LAZY INSTEAD OF BEING FUCKING SUPPORTED.

@Zarish5062 So we’re “too emotional” and “acting like men” simultaneously. Interesting.

Fun fact: When women are on their period, they're being flooded with testosterone, which means when men say we're emotional and hysterical on our period, it's actually because we're acting like a man. Maybe not so fun.

@Zarish5062 That’s powerful. Turning struggle into dignity for others. I’m inspired.

i lost my job. no money coming in. but periods kept showing up. pads + tampons aren’t cheap when you’re unemployed. instead of staying quiet, i flipped my pain into purpose + started “Periods of Transition”, my very own nonprofit to make sure unemployed people who bleed don’t lose their dignity.

@Zarish5062 The one forced to wait isn't the one making decisions.

A man can get a vasectomy in 30 minutes. A woman needs ultrasounds, waiting periods, and a judge. Whose body is being policed?

I hate to break it to you guys, physical activity really helps when you're in a mental rot 😭

My response when someone ask me how I’m doing on my period 🥲

@Mia5062 Hysterectomy cures periods. Eviction for bleeding is cruel and illegal.

My period started the day before my hysterectomy GIRL THIS IS WHY YOURE BEING EVICTED

I don't track my period anymore. I just wait till someone’s breathing annoys me, then I know it's coming.

i wish i could take all women’s period pains and give them to trump

ABORTION IS MURDER. PERIOD. Imagine thinking this isn’t a human being worthy of life

40% of teen pregnancies in 15 y/o girls involve a fathering man who is 20-29. It is never lost on me that the conversations surrounding teen pregnancy are always about the promiscuity of teenage girls and not the violence of older men.
