BREAKING: Federal bill would make all schools forfeit money if they ask menstrual questions

Members of Congress introduced legislation Thursday that would prohibit schools that receive federal funding from collecting or requiring information regarding students’ menstrual cycles, according to a news release from the U.S. House.

The move came the same day that Florida athletic leaders agreed to remove questions about athletes' menstrual history from annual registration forms. An investigation by The Palm Bach Post found that 35 states ask athletes about their periods and require them to turn in the answers to their school districts.

U.S. Reps. Adam Schiff (D-California), Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who represents parts of West Palm Beach and western Palm Beach County, introduced the legislation after they said the questions are a "roundabout way of discriminating against trans students that would also subject cisgender students to invasive government mandates of their private medical data."

17. Menstrual cycles are no one else's business anyway. It's absurd and disgusting to ask

for such personal information, personal medical information that is not needed by anyone but the students' doctors.

18. If we had a Supreme Court instead of an Extreme Cult,

those questions would be ruled discriminatory and there would be no need for additional legislation.
