Florida Student Athletes Are Now Being Asked To Track Their Menstrual Cycles Online

\u201cFlorida female student athletes have to report their menstrual history\u00a0to play: When they got their first period, when they had their last one, etc. A\u00a0third party has access to that info, and parents and doctors are raising red flags https://t.co/172JNDanBL @katikokal\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal Meaning old men and their enablers can decide which 16 year olds to target https://t.co/ChcwVTlaaC\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal Dear Florida, \n\nThis is not normal.\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal Remember when they did this to the migrant girls, and it sort of made a blip on the news, but then everybody forgot about it, but certain people warned the public that it was only a matter of time before they did the US citizens... Yeah? Good times. "Told you so."\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal this is such a gross invasion of privacy.\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal Here's the thing about female athletes. If fat too muscle mass is too low, there is no menstruation. Many gymnasts don't have periods for years. What will they be accused of? Stay out of women's bodies.\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal Not all girls menstruate on a schedule. That\u2019s not taking into consideration that some female athletes don\u2019t menstruate. Factor in birth control, you know not for birth control but for other medical purposes,which can cause yrs of missed periods.\nWill those girls be investigated?\u201d

\u201c@AimingHigher11 @jaxdotcom @katikokal But the whole issue is that it\u2019s got nothing to do with anyone else. Her period is her business. She wants to throw a ball and enjoy a social activity for goodness sake! I can\u2019t believe this is even being discussed!\u201d

\u201c@FsuFire @jaxdotcom @katikokal Unnecessary to ask this in the first place. This is not relevant to sports.\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @joncoopertweets @katikokal No daughter of mine would be playing any sport if this is required \n\nThen again, there\u2019s no a snowball\u2019s chance in hell that I\u2019d live in Florida at this point\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal NO! This is nobody\u2019s business! Surely this will be challenged in court.\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal There is zero reason for this violation of privacy.\nMy daughter played volleyball in HS all over FL.\n\nThere\u2019s something VERY unsettling about this menstrual cycle info being gathered by anyone.\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal This is abominable. In addition to the egregious invasion of one's privacy, anyone who knows anything about female athletes, including young ones, knows they're susceptible to female triad issues: osteoporosis, low energy availability and amenorrhea (the ABSENCE OF MENSTRUATION).\u201d

\u201c@jaxdotcom @katikokal I would have quit sports if I had to play under these conditions. This is not ok. Our girls are allowed their privacy. This is oppressive.\u201d
