Menstruation isn’t just a ‘women’s issue.’ It’s time we opened up the conversation.

With trans people twice as likely to be homeless than the general population, they struggle more to afford sanitary items. They are also less likely to have access to a private space to change pads or tampons, or to empty a menstrual cup.

If advocacy for people who menstruate aims to help the most vulnerable, then it must include people who are dealing with their period in these very difficult circumstances, including not just homeless cis women, but homeless trans people.
