In light of recent articles about the state of Florida’s practice of asking female high school athletes menstrual cycle questions, does the information in this article surprise you?

Here’s the article: https://www.outsports.com/platform/amp/2022/10/12/23393286/menstrual-cycle-questions-female-athletes-states-high-school-trans-male-genital-inspection

In a nutshell it looks like a lot of states do it. I googled because I was curious how long Florida has been asking these questions and curious what other states do it.

I don’t think it’s necessary for schools to ask, but I wasn’t going to be surprised if it’s on a lot of standard forms. What took so long for someone to bring it into question?

How often are girls asked about their period? One time when they first start on the team? Every month?
