New York state is ditching the terms “feminine hygiene products” and “sanitary napkins” in favor of more inclusive language, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Hochul this month signed into law the Health Equity and Opportunity legislative package, which replaces all instances and variations of the phrases in correction law, public health law and tax law, with gender non-specific terminology like “menstrual products and pads.”
Additionally, the legislative package requires free menstrual products be provided to students in private middle and high schools; requires cosmetologists to receive training in all hair types and patterns, including natural hair types; and designates March 8 each year as International Women’s Day.
The package is aimed at further supporting New York’s commitment to gender inclusivity and providing necessary resources to the state’s youth.
“We know now more than ever before the positive impact inclusivity has on communities, and in New York we’re taking the steps to ensure equity for all from healthcare to haircare,” said Hochul. “From simply updating the way certain products are referred to, to expanding access to vital resources for those who may need them most, as time progresses, so should our laws.”
State Sen. Roxanne J. Persaud, D-Southeast Brooklyn, said the bill to update the state’s language when it comes to menstrual products will help lift the stigma surrounding menstruation, and will aid in New York’s mission toward menstrual equity.
“Outdated terminology perpetuates stigma surrounding menstruation, which ultimately discourages conversations that enable access to basic resources,” said Persaud, who sponsored the bill. “This bill recognizes the simple reality that menstruation is not dirty, but rather a natural bodily function. In so doing, we take another step in lifting the stigma, combatting period poverty, and ensuring equal dignity for all individuals who menstruate throughout New York.”

She’s making Cuomo look good.
‘sanitary napkin’? Does anybody use that term?...................
Yeah but men do not menstruate.
She’s even scaring hyper-progressive liberals out of her once-great state. (I know a couple.)
FINALLY! The number one issue facing New York has finally been addressed.
Up next, making ads like these illegal, lol.
“She’s making Cuomo look good.”
Her replacement will make her look good. That’s how liberalism works
TR was governor of NY. I should learn more about his politics. Still, I can’t imagine him coming out with a statement like this. I mean what is she? The shift supervisor at the Buffalo CVS?
Another person's blood is the very definition of unsanitary.
Someone should ask Hochul if she’s a woman...
LOL - that woman is warped. 😂
Is this why everyone now says “full stop” instead of “period”.
I heard that term but I have not heard it in recent years. Perhaps that term had fallen into disuse.
Well here we see Kathy H. Is so focused on nonsense. There is such a fear of the left in this country. There is such a fear of offending the so-called transgender peoples , because a tiny number of women are biological females but identify as male.
So we are compelled to twist the language into pretzels and use terminology that does not suggest that females are the ones who menstruate.
I’ve heard similar terminology used, such as in referring to pregnancy ,some liberals talk about “people who are pregnant” rather than “pregnant women”. These people are so afraid of offending a tiny tiny number of people who are pushing some liberal cause. It’s amazing how our culture has shifted this way.
Nowhere on the planet does a Deep State hire the front office appearance types for brains, courage, or good character.
Can we say “rag” again?
It’s like Jane Goodall’s chimpanzee observations in Africa.
The chimpanzee that makes the most noise becomes the leader...........
Hokel IS a sanitary napkin, a used one.
What about talking Douche Bags?
