| I like to talk about menstruation's connection to health and fertility, though sometimes I am concerned that saying that is kind of like "Ableism" or some other kind of prejudice against those who don't have periods or aren't fertile.
I don't like talking about menstrual "syndrome" or "symptoms". Those kind of words make it sound like a disease! I also don't like talking about "cramps" because I feel like that's a catch word. What does it actual mean?
I think in order to like talking about our periods it would help to have a better vocabulary with which to do so. In the words of Thomas Hardy, "It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs." Whatever contributions women made/make to English, there aren't many in reference to this very prominent aspect of our lives. |

| Four months ago I got off the pill after being on it for 10+ years. I am so excited to ovulate for real and it makes me happy to have cramps because I know my body is healthy and operating the way nature intended. My friends think I'm nuts for loving my period so much, but I really feel so much more connected with myself now that I'm not putting synthetic hormones in my body. |

| I like the fact that our bodies are engineered to perform certain tasks. I know that my period is a sign that everything is probabbly in working order. When I see it, it generates a sigh of relief. Of course, I will welcome the day when its absence means I am carrying a little one. For now, Aunt Flo is my best friend! |
