Trans Period Pride

About this episode

This episode discusses Trans Period Pride and the experiences of trans individuals who menstruate.

This Pride season, why not take a moment to feel proud of your period?  For the past four years, Mass NOW, a feminist organization in Massachusetts, has been working with other groups to organize Trans Period Pride, a space for open and honest conversation about what it’s like to be a trans person who menstruates. This year, the event has, unsurprisingly, attracted the ire of right-wing news. But this only highlights the importance of these conversations—and of period equity for all genders.  This episode features a conversation with two of the organizers of Trans Period Pride: Mass NOW Executive Director Sasha Goodfriend and Deputy Director of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition Kelsey Grunstra. This week’s Trans Joy features Melani Midas, a Caribbean-American fashion designer and DJ.  Send your Trans Joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org  Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok , Instagram , Threads , Bluesky , and Facebook .
