#3 – Why Language Around Menstruation Matters
At Period Pin, we use gender-inclusive language to talk about periods to promote inclusivity, respect, understanding, and create a welcoming environment for everyone who menstruates.
Using gender-inclusive language acknowledges that not only cisgender women and girls menstruate, but also some transgender men and nonbinary individuals.
