  That’s when you say your period lasts 75 days and let them figure it out
  (Because some who have endo or fibroids do have month long periods, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility )
context: Even if you only looked at the medical aspect it's nonsense, as it's a known fact that extreme athletic activity can disrupt menstrual cycles. >
  
  i guarantee theyll use it to hunt abortions. >
  
  And stringing up the trans kids. (I'm parent to a trans teen in Florida, he's not even going to public school at this point, as a sophomore... Fuck Florida.) >
  
  Run. Run and never look back. For your son's sake. >
  
  Our lease is up in July and we're intending to move out of state. Trying to overlay maps of trans care protections, and homeschool laws, and where he may want to go to college and be a state citizen for admission purposes, while dealing with his new autism diagnosis, and figure out tax laws bc I'm self employed... It's nuts. >
  
  I wish your beautiful family well, my friend. >
  
  Aww, thank you so much!! Same too you!! >
  
  Wearing a mask was too much, but this is totally fine for the government to require? >
  
  If it’s for controlling the breeding stock it’s fine. >
  
  Joke's on them; COVID has some effect on fertility. >
  
  This is fucking weird, creepy, and invasive. 
  All straight male administrators involved in female athletics should be required to undergo penile plethysmography on a monthly basis. >
  
  Wow the volume and pressure are decreasing!? >
  
  Gonna mark you down for a weak stream Mr Smallwood.  Try not to sit as much and - have you been keeping up with your Kegals? >
  
  As soon as I read this I tightened up >
  
  Ahh, already practicing for the procedures I see! Good for you!! >
  
  Party of small gov't amirite? >
  
  i'm kind of expecting fl or a similar state to eventually ban school girls from sports, using "it's the only way to protect them from trans kids" as an excuse (and ofc it'll also be a test run for banning adult women's sports further down the line) >
  
  They’ll never do that. This whole freak out is about asshole parents salty because their daughter might come in 2nd place to a Trans athlete. It’s all about winning. They might say high school sports are about teamwork or learning life lessons, but all they care about is to be able to brag in church about how “my daughter was conference champ this year”. You notice how they’re not freaking out about men’s sports? What they probably will try is to “privatize” women’s sports to club sports so they can bar anyone they don’t like from competing. >
  
  WTAF Florida, this is why no one likes you. >
  
  We don't like it either, but the gerrymandering means only assholes gain effective power down here. >
  
  Anyone else remember when Republicans claimed that they didn't believe government should be involved in healthcare. >
  
  You mean like yesterday and all the days before it? >
  
  Is there any benefit to the athlete to answer this information truthfully? Because it's none of their business, at all. >
  
  Every day, period. >
  
  Just report zero days for all women. Make them prove otherwise. >
  
  then republicans will imprison them for possibly being pregnant. >
  
  “Small government” wants to know whats going on in everyone’s pants? >
  
  Have you seen what's going on in Hunter Biden's pants?!
  Tune in to Fox News to find out!!! >
  
  I hear it'll be huge! >
  
  It’s a big fuckin’ deal. >
  
  The sooner Florida is turned back into an alligator farm, the better for all of America. >
  
  It’ll be better when it’s all beachfront property in Georgia. >
  
  Won’t be too long. >
  
  GOP: My privacy!
  Then they do shit like this. >
  
  Wearing a mask to prevent infection during a pandemic is government overkill despite massive scientific support yet demanding details of menstrual cycles for no known reason is perfectly reasonable. Without hypocrisy, Republicans would have absolutely nothing. >
  
  They want it 1: say girls sports is harmful to proper development bod will ban girls sports 2: prosecute for missed periods 3: go after you for teenage sex >
  
  In other words, ways the government take away parental rights and make life harder for teenage girls. Seems odd from a government that’s insisting parents have complete control over what kids read and are taught in school. But hypocrisy, right? >
  
  Every single athlete should refuse to provide this information. >
  
  I can think of no sane reason for this.  There are several republican reasons.  But no sane ones. >
  
  As long as they are erasing Black History and Attacking The Gays, Conservatives will literally feed thier Daughters to Republicans even if they are proven Sex Offenders like Matt Gaetz and his Accomplices >
  
  Sounds a lot like the Handmaids tale >
  
  The government creating an apparatus to track people's menstrual cycles at a young age. Sounds like an obvious violation of privacy, but something tells me 6 supreme court justices will disagree >
  
  "The founding fathers never enshrined a right to private menses in the constitution, therefore they must have wanted all female citizens to be fitted with uterine tracking devices." >
  
  God damn. I hate the world I live in. >
  
  Submit directly to Matt Gaetz for inspection. >
  
  If I had teens in any Florida school I would refuse to give that information and take the state and school to court over it. >
  
  And boys will submit erection records >
  
  They'll run out of paper within a week! >
  
  We are so close to getting an actual penis inspection day at school >
  
  closer than you’d think >
  
  Florida is governed with scientific ignorance, and religious bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and  racism. >
  
  In FL - women are having their rights to privacy stripped away, one by one. >
  
  Its for sports, people were defending it because it was optional.  The first thing they are doing is making it non-optional. >
  
  Well that's a great way to kill women's sports. Sounds like that's the goal. >
  
  Conservatives are the real groomers. >
  
  So in need of Bugs Bunny with a bigass saw. >
  
  How about a link? >
  
  Regardless of how you feel about Florida politicians (and my contempt for them is pretty deeply into negative territory) I can't imagine parents consenting to this. >
  
  Really? Because there's a parent quoted in the article as literally saying “I’m OK with that". >
  
  I guess I'm constantly surprised by how completely parents are willing to betray their childrens' privacy for a political point. 
  My kids are well out of school, and thank GOD we never lived in Florida, but the only possible response I can come up with is "keep your fucking nose OUT of my daughter's underwear!" >
  
  Not worth it to play a sport .  Fuck off. >
  
  Republicans are creepy fruitcakes. >
  
  Bet you the goal is to remove women from sports full-stop. Then the classroom. Then double back to remove them from the workforce, until they can only feel like they belong in the home and can never leave. >
  
  I'd probably just lie... Just makeup whatever. It's dumb, but there's not really anyway to check, it's entirely catering to their stupid base. >
  
  well if the dates don't match up to what they expect, they will throw you in jail for having an illegal abortion. that is the end game here.
  as a side effect, they hope to "catch" any suspected trans kids. >
  
  Fun fact, teenage girls rarely have completely predictable menstrual cycles. Although, hormonal birth control can help with that…maybe they should increase access to birth control for teens. So they can better track their periods. As one does. >
  
  well, i have some bad news: the GOP is against all forms of birth control, for any reason. >
  
  The shame of it is that because of all of the boomers who moved down there to die, their politics are going to be ruined for at least a decade.   Florida is a red state now, not a swing state, and it's going to stay that way for a long time.  And the longer it's red, the more garbage like this and the Don't say Gay bill will show up. >
  
  There is a nearly unending supply of elderly Q-Tips to refill the ideologically selfish and shitty voters to replace the dead ones. FL is fucked and the only problem I have with it drowning is that the people will disperse closer to me. >
  
  “The share of the population that is 65 and older increased from 17.4% in 2010 to 21.1% in 2021. “
  The biggest demographic in FL is 35 to 49 year olds.  And DeSantis is a racist, sexist 44 yr old 🤷‍♀️ >
  
  I doubt it would happen, but it would be wonderful if boys all throughout Florida started reporting there menstrual cycles to fuck with everything. >
  
  I'm guessing an easy answer is to just collectively say "NO".
  No athletes means no income for the administrators / organisers / owners. >
  
  Sounds like "proof" of their records should be submitted directly to the doorhandles, windshields, mailboxes, and doors belonging to the people that are implementing the rule :) >
  
  Small government conservatives want the government to track menstruation. Seems pretty on brand for the things they say they're going to do vs. the things they actually do. >
  
  Teenage girls should start mailing their pads to his office >
  
  Leave Florida. Just get out. Especially you are young. Let the retirees, racists, and misogynists deal with half the state being underwater by 2050. >
  
  and that is how Florida turns bright red from a purple state. >
  
  Boy this Republican small government sure seems invasive and targeted, shouldn’t we be collecting like a JO diary for boys as well to keep things fair and balanced? >
  
  The rights obsession with controlling women!! It’s hard to imagine women supporting this. Anything to own the libs though. So dumb. >
  
  I don't know if it's ADHD or what, but I've never been able to track my period ever... and I'm a millennial. If I had to do this in high school I would literally just lie saying it's the first week every month on the dot. >
  
  Might just have irregular cycles >
  
  I would never live there in the first place, but I’d I had a daughter I would leave that state IMMEDIATELY! >
  
  get the fuck out of there ! >
  
  Time to get out of the 3rd world dumpster. >
  
  Freedom!!@!!#@#$!!%!#$!!$\^$\^#$!##$! >
  
  That's some fucked up shit, right there. >
  
  Can't read the article, so what even is the stated rationale for this. While I'm sure they'll use it to target potential abortions, with a side boost of potentially intimidate & target trans kids. Is there reason they're providing to give it at least a veneer of legitimacy? >
  
  Notice the distinct lack of conservative ᴄrybabies commenting in here. They know how it looks. They know what it is. They don't care, they want it to happen anyway, and they aren't going to bother to defend it.
  Disgusting fucking deplᴏrable grᴏᴏmer filth. >
  
  Credit where credit is due, this is great way to kill girlls’ athletics without violating Title IX. 
  That’s not the explicit goal of course, but I have a hunch that such an outcome is going to be celebrated as a return to the way things “should” be rather then a disappointing and unintended consequence. >
  
  Fascism at it's "best". Horrible. Everyone who didn't read The handmaid's tale should do it. Also, (more important even) check and read all documentation you can find, read it, study it about the rise of fascism, in Europe, f.i. in Italy and Germany... I cannot stress this enough... Act now, do not wait until it's to late, please. >
  
  I’m willing to bet we see a biiiig dip in women’s sports in Florida if this actually happens. >
  
  make the boys submit their nocturnal emissions too >
  
  Where are the outraged parents at school board meetings? Where is the push-back against this fascist nonsense?! >
  
  I hope all girls will refuse and parents go against that stupid law . >
  
  Freedom* >
  
  So you’re telling me the state we bought in order to steal back all the fugitive slaves turned out to not be such a great place? >
  
  Who  are the sick MF’s who think this sh*t up? >
  
  Nothing screams freedom more than mandatory menstrual reporting. >
  
  If they claim it’s for health reasons, monitoring athlete health, or anything that resembles providing health care then they are opening themselves up to HIPAA regulations. I can’t imagine that they’re so ignorant they haven’t thought of this. Curious how they think they’ll avoid it. >
  
  One step away from handmaidens tale >
  
  Dude, if any adult was that interested in what was going on with my cooch in high school, I’d be moving to a different school. 
  Fkn bunch of gross ass pervs if you ask me. >
  
  Sounds like some kind of hipaa violation to me not that that matters in Florida >
  
  I cannot for the life of me even want to try and wrap my brain on this 😩 I hope every women takes a stand on this  and make this the biggest protest that anyone has stood for This guy is an absolute moron and now is thinking about running for president?,??????? Abortions .. Black history ... And now he wants to know when I have my period....ARE YOU FU@@KEN KIDDING ME He belongs in the bottom of the ocean >
  
  Perhaps used tampons should be provided all across the state in “compliance” of this insanity. >
  
  This is totally not fachist.  Let freedom ring. >
  
  The state of Florida better have lots of funding set aside to cover the multiple lawsuits that will filed when the health data of minors is hacked into and released. >
  
  Florida has asked for this information for 20 years:
  
  The state has asked these questions for about two decades, according to reports.
  
  And most states (44/50) request/require the asking of female high school athletes for information about their periods.
   
  The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages this because:
  
  “Female athletes/athletes with uteri who are not having menstrual periods are at increased risk of stress fractures,” Carl said.
  
   
  And other states do weird shit too:
  
  Among other states, Massachusetts does currently suggest an examination of “genitalia.” Other states also suggest genital examinations, some of them like Oklahoma and Michigan singling that out for “males only,” or like New York asking if male athletes “have only one testicle.”
  
   
  What is weird about Florida is that some states only require the doc signs a form sent to the government that says the athlete is cleared for sports. 
  For some weird reason, Florida wants the menstrual info as well - but always has as fair as I can tell. 
  That should definitely be changed. But I still think that we need docs clearing athletes for sport - in a way that values their privacy. >
  
  I have no problem requiring physicals stating they're healthy enough to play. But they have zero need for menstrual or any other private medical information at the government level. None. >
  
  Totally agree. >
  
  The point of the bill is to weed out transgender athletes, the misogyny is just an added bonus. They're inherently tied together, that's why you don't see them attacking trans men in men's sports. 
  They view women as weak, something to be controlled and protected from whatever boogeyman they currently are bashing. Same thing as not wanting lesbians participating in women's sports in the 90s because they'll be predatory in locker rooms.
  These lawmakers are predators, so they can't imagine someone who is similar to them (amab, likes women, pick your poison) not having the same predatory mindset.
  Plus they're all closet cases anyways. Santos gets his rocks off dressing as a woman, so he couldn't imagine someone doing it for nonsexual reasons.
  Just another excuse for the GOP to invade women's reproductive health. Party of small fucking government, am I right? After they're done implementing genital checks for children, they'll probably start doing virginity checks as a "courtesy" to parents 🙄 >
  
  So now the schools will be responsible for maintaining HIPAA training for all employees?  
  Or will they just ignore that part, then try to pass laws protecting the school and the state from lawsuits? >
  
  I hate the South so much. I wish a bunch of trans, drag queen abortion doctors would interrupt one of their state government sessions with a huge reading of some banned book or sex education lesson. >
  
  As somebody in the south (thank goodness, not Florida), we aren’t all this backassward. >
  
  Aint no way thats gonna pass or happen >
  
  I wish enough outraged people would move out of Florida so they lose 5-10 Representatives in US House next census. It would reduce them to observers and not leaders. It would reduce their Federal allotments, and taxes that fund this garbage. >
  
  Just so they wear the chastity belts on the right weeks >
  
  This is how you alienate and shut down girls sports and dignity! >
  
  Even if something’s amiss, they can just report everything’s fine.  What are you going to do, inspect the bathroom stall after I use it for evidence of discarded pads and tampons?  
  Oh wait, they probably would. >
  
  Freedom*** >
  
  Uh, what? That's just fucking weird. >
  
  What?  Panty checks are not enough? >
  
  Just troll the shit out of them… easy >
  
  What a world many folks live in hey. What a time to be alive! >
  
  students should just give them fake data
  then they will pass law requiring someone from school check their panties
