A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

Looking for help with wording a flyer (not an ad) (lemmy.world)

I'm starting a program at work that makes feminine hygiene products free and readily available for employees. I'm planning to include various period products, as well as information and resources available to us as employees. If this is successful at my store, we may introduce the program to the district. Anyway, I'm trying to put together a flyer for the break room to announce it, and I'm stuck on how to phrase it headline.

I don't want to address strictly "women" since we have trans men and nb's that work there. I don't necessarily want to say "anyone with menstrual cycle". Or should I?

I'm just looking for any ideas from people who are more creative than me. TIA!

The signs at my university say "Menstruation products available for anyone in need. Take as much as you need", along with contact details for donating supplies or if the supplies are low.

For this exact reason (partly), gender is kinda a stupid and useless concept, just remove it entirely from the flyer. Keep the message clear and to-the-point, something like; "If your bleeding from a hole you're supposed to have, free Absorption Dildos now available!"

Lol I don't think management will go for the word "dildos" in the sign, but I like the enthusiasm and suggestion to not really use anything. "Menstrual products for anyone who needs them" or something like that
