Observing the American landscape from above, you can see certain requirements. If you’ve determined one is the mixing of beauty queens and menstruation, this story is for you.
The Miss Universe institution is going to bat for bleeding — the monthly, feminine type. But it doesn’t want you to make that distinction. The organization’s Twitter account recently posted advocacy for “inclusive” labeling of bloody and mucosal vaginal discharge.
A monthly remodeling of one’s uterine lining seems an unusual topic for a “beauty” pageant. Perhaps these are just unusual times.
And maybe you don’t know how to talk, period.
Miss Universe sets a sash on what’s especially important:
It is crucial to use inclusive language, particularly when talking about periods.
Don’t imagine Aunt Flow as a female-favoring guest:
Menstrual health should not be considered a niche subject for women. This excludes non-binary, transgender and gender-nonconforming men who experience periods from the discussion.
Do you want to join that convo? Evidently, yes.
Miss U. makes the laws regarding language
What to say about periods
Speak Up: Reproductive Health
Not This: Women’s Health
And:
Here’s a thought: Periods are a common problem for people.
It’s not the only way: Period-wearing women can also have periods
People were once thought of as free agents, able to speak and act however they pleased. However, we are entering an era where guidance is possible.
Directives help us to be better.

Back to the galaxy’s preferred pageant, if you’ve ever been on the cusp of calling to that which fills a sanitary napkin or gives a tampon weight — or any other thing in the universe — and you’ve paused with, “What would an international beauty contest advise?” you’re in cotton-picking luck.
Miss Universe is clear about this:
Some women don’t menstruate.
The tweet was crowned with “#MenstrualEquity.”
A social media user shared a unique insight. One user on social media pointed out something unusual. Miss Universe Twitter accountDescribes itself as follows:
@MissUniverse exists to advocate for a future forged by women with courage to push the limits of what’s possible.

But don’t assume those future-forging women onstage — dressed in sequins and crying while they win yet smiling if they lose — are bleeding.
Perhaps that’s best, even if language isn’t important.
Either way, in 2022, womxn’s health is Priority One. For too long, we’ve dined on a diet of ignorance. With enlightenment, it’s a brand new day.
