Florida Schools Are Asking Student-Athletes to Report Their Menstrual Histories

Looking for solutions to problems that do not exist and creating injustice and privacy violation for the whole of women in the state.  The mentality of the old slave owning states, that humans must be owned by masters is as alive and well as ever. Pass the DNA please.

Yeah. Evil masquarading as Christian.

Since this is being done online, there is no way to guarantee anyone's privacy.

They did claim it was optional though.

Seems unnecessary intrusive.

If anyone opts out of answering, they will be branded as trans, and discrimination will follow.  The whole point is to identify trans people.

Definitely, definitely. This seems very illegal and very invasive. It can already be embarrassing enough having a monthly and having it start at inconvenient times, and having documentation like this might actually embarrass an athlete and cause them- on the extreme side- to consider dropping athletic sports if that's how they're going to be treated. Really, it shouldn't be a school's business when a student experiences such a process or when they had it last. That's only important to the parents- if the student is comfortable with sharing such information- and doctors if a medical emergency occurs. No athlete should be barred under the basis of a process not everyone goes through. There are some girls who don't get monthlies or as often as other people.

I didn't grow up in Florida, but I remember school "health" types being rather invasive.  And yeah, we had the menstruation question.  Specifically worded, "When was your last period, and how often do you get them?"  My mother is not normally rebellious, but she thought that was inappropriate.  Her response was epic.  She told me to write in, "I get a period after every declarative sentence." 😆

 

In my opinion, public schools have way too much power.  They have no business being involved in students' health or asking questions of any sort.  That's the family's responsibility.  I think @VickySGV is quite correct...it is a holdover from slavery.  Or rather, it is an expansion of a light version of slavery from after the Civil War.  When slavery was declared illegal, they figured out how to make it class warfare instead, and oppress people of many different backgrounds.  Those in power (wealthy, politicians, etc) would love to own all the rest of us, like feudal serfs. 

 

We saw the iron fist come out of the glove during two years of COVID... the establishment now uses "health" as justification for any assault on our bodies and civil rights.  The best answer I can see is a complete takedown of the medical establishment, and returning doctors to their place as respected service providers of the same class as mechanics and merchants, instead of anointed omniscient overlords.

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
