Y'all. At a major meeting with a client, and my period is here with a vengeance, with legendary bloating and the runs. I keep having to step out of the room, and at some point my manager (sweet older man) texts me to tell me that it's impolite for me to step out all the time during the meeting. I explained to him that I have a runny tummy and he was fine with it but has me thinking about how stupid and inconvenient and painful and overall dumb periods are. And I have NORMAL menstrual periods!! Can't imagine how horrible life must be for y'all.

Sending you all strength from the bathroom!
