Summary

In this episode, Hannah shares a Roundtable discussion from earlier this year, when she was joined by Gabby Edlin, Katie Beales and A Peschanski to discuss all things periods, contraception & hormones. They share their first periods stories, what sex education lessons missed out, and how associating periods with womanhood can lead to dysmorphia for non binary people and trans men. They also discuss going on contraception for the first time, period and fertility tracking apps, and options for male contraception. Finally they explain why discharge is a bit like Spiderman, and the importance of talking about these taboo topics more.
