"birthing persons"

More than 360 women and gender non-conforming people from across the state took part in the study. The study was conducted by the state commission and non-profit Mai Movement.

Half of the participants reported missing school or work either because of menstruation or not having supplies. There's a push for island schools to provide pads and tampons for students.

"I think when we have public school girls telling us they're using newspapers, baby diapers and leaves to replace period supplies because they don't access them, that's a wake up call to us as government," Jabola-Carolus said.

Another finding: transgender men also experience symptoms of menstruation.

I am not against a school supplying tampons or pads I guess but this attitude of "it should be provided for us" is annoying
