    British users need to verify their ages to access r/periods

    Ah yes, periods. A thing that famously only happens to adults. What the ever-loving fuck?

    I’m not surprised that something on a topic that I consider “basic women’s health” is being blocked. Why, though? Is it too sexual (because vagina)? Is it too violent (because blood)? A teenager could have a million period-related questions without any part of it being “adult only.”

    But I guess all of us should’ve thought about that when we decided to be born with female reproductive systems. So dangerous, so violent, so political.

      Real question, just trying to understand what other folks are planning when shit hits the fan.

      What do you mean you won’t participate? No internet? Or just won’t use the sites that require the age Ver?

      With things like this, not even VPNs are safe from my understanding.
