Girls, sports and periods: this article in the Irish Times is about initiatives to help girls exercise while menstruating. I admire the openness and practicality, but have to admit periods were one of the major gender dysphoric triggers for me. I could barely acknowledge them. And as for using a tampon. No way. They (periods) were also very painful. https://www.irishtimes.com/health/your-fitness/2023/02/14/girls-sports-and-periods-ive-been-playing-in-croke-park-and-had-to-say-would-you-check-my-shorts/? #womensport #genderdysphoria #menstruation #gender #sport #swimming #trans #puberty #adolescence #girlssport #Ireland

New Starting Line 1928 podcast drop! Michele Cuke's first racing success came at age ten when she won a 600-meter race sponsored by her church.

A little over a year, I and three cofounders launched Starting Line 1928. It is an oral history project set out to document the stories of the pioneers of women’s distance running in their own voices. With the help of freelance historians, we have released 15 episodes. Give us a listen: https://www.startingline1928.com/ #historydon #commodon #sporthistory #runninghistory #oralhistory #Womensport #running

Like many, I'm new here. I'm a scholarly assistant professor at the Murrow College of Communication at #WSU. I teach PR & advertising classes. My research interest are women's sport, branding and NIL. I serve on the leadership team for an oral history podcast documenting women running pioneers (Starting Line 1928). I'm a mom, runner and sew in my free time. #commodon #sportsdon #womensport #NIL #running #womenrunning
