An Instagram post featuring Milly Bhaskara's son is reminding people that 'men have periods too,' and that it's not difficult to understand in an effort to spread awareness.
In her caption, his mother explains further:"Eli has been told about periods since he saw blood on my pants a couple of years ago ... I didn’t use the language of women have periods because it’s not entirely inclusive. I told him SOME women, SOME non binary people, and SOME men have periods.
The move sparked a mix of praise and backlash from people on both sides of the aisle, but the brand was unapologetic. the company said in a statement . “We’re also committed to diversity and inclusion and are on a continual journey to understand the needs of all of our consumers.” Those customers include transgender and non-binary consumers who menstruate -- people who are often left out of the period conversation, simply because they may not identify as female.
As Bhaskara notes in her Instagram caption,"Trans men may have ‘female’ sex organs and still experience periods and some non-binary people have periods too, therefore removing a female logo off the front of sanitary products helps include us all. Isn’t that wholesome and a nice gesture?"Bhaskara turned off comments on her post, but across Twitter, conversation around the move sparked heated debate.
