[PERIOD TMI AHOY] I don't have a blacklist page on tumblr yet, but I'm just going to put this in for reference, and my Plurklist might find it helpful too.

But if all my followers on tumblr would put tw: period-shaming in their tags, I'd HUMONGOUSLY appreciate it.

I don't care if people have tmi posts about cramps hurting them or blood getting on stuff.

And I don't mind period jokes.

I don't get upset about pads or tampons at all.

Any post that involves anyone suffering from conditions like endometriosis and doctors dismissing their pain because "LOL must be PMS go home dear, you're just being emotional and imagining it."

Kids and teenagers being told they are sinful and disgusting for having their period.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:16 AM

Or anyone forced to think they're disgusting or bleeding to death and having no one tell them what's going on.

This... hits a nerve in me and makes me REALLY upset and shaky.

I don't know how the hell I survived reading/watching it in Stephen King's Carrie, but that's my Big Exception.

I'm also not okay with people being in a constant state of self-loathing and feeling like a disgusting person for having their period.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:18 AM

Again, that puts me in a very bad place.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

So please, please tag for stuff like that.

I don't give a fuck if people talk about pads. But if they use "sanitary napkins" to describe pads, I'm NOPE NOPE NOPEing the fuck out.

I'm fine with people saying periods are disgusting (see: the protest against the tampon tax), 'cause frankly, they are.

hell's pollyana

Periods are a pain in the ass and my last one HURT, but it's stupid to shame people for something their body does naturally.

Puri Hoyt

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:24 AM

It's when people use periods as ammo to shame anyone with a uterus by calling THEM dirty instead of the period that I raise my hackles.

Shaming someone for having a period is like shaming someone for urinating or sneezing or producing earwax.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:26 AM

Exactly. We don't shame humanity for pooping.

Puri Hoyt

No amount of bleeding will be more disgusting than people using it to oppress anyone not fitting comfortably as a cismale.

I've had sex with Jimmy while I was on my period. He didn't care about the blood on him, as long as we had old sheets to wash later.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:31 AM

It was actually less gross than I thought it was going to be.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:31 AM

No fountains of blood gushing everywhere, it was actually cleaner than I expected.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:32 AM

Basically we washed up more than we usually did, but hey, typical hygiene stuff.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:33 AM

It was more like vanilla sex with a little bloodplay involved. Bloodplay where no one had to be scratched or bitten or cut.

I still lol at this.

Bizarrely enough, "sanitary towels" doesn't get under my skin nearly as much.

Puri Hoyt

@InsanePurin

Fri, Apr 1, 2016 3:57 AM

But "sanitary napkins" feels like something Margaret White would use, like "dirty pillows."

(I accidentally typo'd that as "sanity napkins". Now THERE'S a name I approve of for pads. : P)
