TRIGGER WARNING: MENSTRUATION, BROS.
Reposting my story from feministdykeslut.tumblr.com ’s ask box.
I started my first at my best friend’s house, right after I’d become vegetarian when I was 11. I thought it was a side effect of not eating meat! My friends mom helped me and shit, but when I got home my mom was convinced I’d been molested by my friend’s dad or brother, and wouldn’t believe me, then told me tampons were bad for me.. So I called my older sister and she was like “Don’t worry, mom didn’t tell me about periods before hand either.” because my mother is a bit afraid of everything.. She never gave me the talk, just a book when I started high school called “Sex? What’s that?” that said, and I quote: “It’s okay to have non-Christian friends, but your best friends should be christian.” Yeah.
