'As SELF wrote previously, your anatomy doesn't determine your gender—and neither does the biological process of menstruation. But because we erroneously tend to think of periods as integral to the experience of being a woman, those women who don't have periods as well as men who do menstruate (or have at some point in their lives) are often left out of conversations about period stigma. Ironically, that just furthers the silence and shame around their experience. That's why recognition of that experience on the level of the Pink Parcel campaign is both unprecedented and necessary.

When we say we want to normalize periods, we mean normalizing periods for everyone—regardless of gender.'

No, what you have here, is technically known as people with 'mental illness'.
