Florida Menstruation

Quite the title, huh?

There’s a google game that people play. It’s easy. Plug in your birthday and the words, “Florida Man…”

You’ll get a wonderful story of ultimate stupidity.

Speaking of which…

…they’re banning books?

In school?

Isn’t that where books are supposed to be read?

Word is that they’re doing a review and trying to figure out if the books that kids are reading aren’t depicting stories that show racism, or references to slavery, or something so inane.

But that’s not the worst of it.

The title of this blog was entered into google and a whole bunch of stories popped up.

Seems that there is a new emphasis that calls for young women to show records of menstruation so that they can appear in athletic competitions.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Who would provide that information to a school administrator?

It seems awfully specific - wouldn’t it be less intrusive to request a physical that a young girl could keep private with her medical provider?

The whole thing is kind of screwy, isn’t it?

The only thing I can think of is that they’re trying to eliminate trans women from competing with ‘regular, old run of the mill’ females.

How many instances of trans women in athletics have there been?

Enough to expose the private records of every girl in the state?

Incomprehensible.

“What’s going on in the South?” I asked a buddy.

“Going backwards.”

And I thought about, as a youngster, hearing that Henry Aaron wasn’t allowed to stay at the same hotel as his white teammates.

Had to drink out of a different water fountain.

Florida. 

Man.
