Right to free period products becomes law

Period products for NHS staff 'a basic necessity'

What is period poverty and what difference will the law make?

I have to ask what would prompt a man to apply for such a job? It specifically means talking to women and girls about periods. It's a more suitable and appropriate position for a woman. Schoolgirls would be much more likely to respond to and engage with a woman.

They appointed me first. Sacked me though when I pointed out it’s only a little tummy ache once a month and women really need to ‘man up’ and stop making such a fuss. I’m thinking of putting in a claim for unfair dismissal.

It does seem that way to me from what I've read. And from the job description Damselfly posted.

I can't imagine he will be doing all the campaigning and question answering by himself.

I'm not sure about that actually.

Thinking of other things in my life, sometimes the most empathy and understanding has come from people with no direct experience.

Those with experience (not all, but certainly quite a lot!) have often had limited understanding of anything being different from their direct experience, and as a result,less empathy.

I think that's a people thing, rather than a male/female thing.

I personally have no issue with it being a man. The job wasn't exempt from the equality act stuff (some jobs legitimately are, e.g. in women's refuges) and so as long as proper recruitment practices have taken place that were fair to all applicants, then it's fine he has been appointed.

I've had absolutely no empathy from female health workers on matters relating to female health so I don't think the argument that a woman would automatically be the best candidate, is true. Some of the least helpful medical professionals have been women.

In current world order, no, it should be a person who has had periods ie a woman, however we have gynaecologists who are men so I’m not sure if there’s a massive difference.

The role iirc is primarily to ensure free of charge period products are available to women in need of them and the feminist in me accepts that it doesn’t need to be a woman that facilitates and ensures that availability.

Does the position require a medical background, there are male gynocologists, if so then yes.

If no medical training/background and Fred from down the street can become one, then no.

But honestly a woman should be the first choice.

"Mr Grant previously worked as an account manager with Imperial Tobacco.

I guess it depends on what his job as a wellbeing officer is.

I think it's good that a male would be a period dignity officer, so that it might be easier for boys to understand menstrual health issues. It could be a positive thing.

College wellbeing officers (we call them welfare officers) get VERY involved with the lives of the young people. Our officers end up going to A&E with students, sitting in medical appointments (at student's request), provide mental health support and on more than one occasion, have accompanied students who are attending abortion clinics (obviously, at the student's request). Our officers are male and female and it's rare we are asked for one gender over the other, which when considering our student demographic is perhaps surprising.

I would say anyone who has been a wellbeing or welfare officer in a college will have suitable work experience for the role being discussed.

This is my thought and actually having worked in primary schools A lot of the male staff Felt very uncomfortable when having to talk about periods. Periods is something that nobody should be embarrassed to talk about including men so I don't see this as a bad thing.

Agreed but again we don't know his experience was. I know I've had female and male students request to see certain genders of officers. Especially those from different cultures and one student who had been a victim of SA. I would hope that there was the ability to see a female also. Know in certain cultures seeing a male about these things would not be appropriate according to their elders. And I wouldn't want girls missing out on advice.

That's very true - would want all girls to access info. My child would be fine chatting to a male but others wouldn't. I actually felt sorry for the guy on Twitter today as he's in the spotlight now. Don't know if there are more people in the team.

Mr Grant previously worked as an account manager with Imperial Tobacco.

He then became a personal trainer with his own business and was recently a wellbeing officer for Dundee and Angus College.

The 24-month role as period dignity officer has a salary of up to £36,126, with the post being funded by the Scottish government.

However, a Scottish government spokesperson said it "did not have any involvement in these posts or appointments".

They added: "Some local authorities are appointing staff to ensure they are complying with their new duties and making free products in line with the act, ensuring there is information available on where to access the products, and also tackling issues such as the stigma that still surrounds accessing period products."

On Monday, new legislation came into force in Scotland protecting the right to free sanitary products.

The Period Products Act means councils and education providers have to make the free items available to those who need them.

Labour MSP Monica Lennon campaigned for the legislation, which was unanimously backed in the Scottish Parliament in 2020.

But not all people who menstruate identify as women. Trans men will continue to menstruate unless they have hormonal treatment to stop it. Calling them women is damaging to them for no other reason than sheer bloody mindedness and intentional mis gendering.

""Young people who menstruate"?

It's a mad world now; pointing out that it is only (real) girls and women who menstruate might be a start, but I imagine to do so may be a criminal offence in tribal fascist governed Scotland.

But not all people who menstruate identify as women. Trans men will continue to menstruate unless they have hormonal treatment to stop it. Calling them women is damaging to them for no other reason than sheer bloody mindedness and intentional mis gendering. "

How does it damage trans men?

I know that. How does it damage them to use a word.

Your profile doesn't say where you are from, but in that basis you shouldn't comment either unless you're in Scotland yourself!

I have only lived in England for the last ten years, and lived in Northern Ireland for most of my adult life, as well as having lived in other parts of the world, but that may be too much for your tiny bigoted mind to comprehend.

Don’t see what all the hoohaa is really.

Now if they’d given the job to Mr Blobby, well that could have been problematic

Stockport

Apart from the stupid name for the position, it sounds as if all they want is a manager and PR person. Someone to run advertising campaigns and make sure that there's stock delivered for filling tampon dispensers in school toilets. I suspect that it's just the tabloids whipping up a scandal to sell newspapers. Now if the position actually said that it was necessary to have experienced menstruation, I would agree that he's probably not the person for the job... But I guess that we have male midwives, who probably haven't had any babies themselves. And brain surgeons who (hopefully) haven't needed too many operations on their own brains...
