@vagina_museum I was basically baby (ok not really, I was 9) when I had my menarche. And absolutely no one prepared me for it. I grew up in a south Asian country. The whole concept of menstruation was a taboo subject; everything was very hush hush. I had to deal with the pain and shame all by myself, it was all very lonely.

@farah@beige.party I'm so sorry. One of my children started very young too and it's so sad and difficult even when you ARE being supported, it must have been so hard for little you :( It's not young enough for puberty blockers unless you're under 8 though. Apparently.
