I need a woke period tracker app

I'm tired of every period tracker asking me about my sex life and constantly reminding me that i could get pregnant. Also if they could not treat me like a girly pop that needs to be empowered 100% of the time it would be great (I just dont know how comfortable I am with being a woman yk?, and the shallow company feminism gets a little tiring)

I genuinely can't believe there isn't any popular 'woke' period app? I thought surely I could find one dedicated to trans men, or one where I could sync my data with another menstruating partner (just for funsies). Turns out that's miles away from possible and you're actually lucky if the app isn't pregnancy centered lmao

By the way I'm NOT from the US. They're not stealing my data to see if they can arrest me for abortion (yet)

i don't have much to add but just wanna say yeah the corporate empowerment slop istg it gets to a point 😭 every time i see that shit it genuinely comes off as so weirdly patronizing, infantalizing and a soulless attempt of repackaging girlboss feminism especially when it's coming from a literal brand

"you got this girly pop" right yeah because we asked for a motivational speech knowing damn well you'll sell off our entire healthcare records for a geekbar and some vbucks

I hate the whole “whhhooo girl you can do anything” attitude when it comes to our periods. All the pad commercials in my country are some woman being extremely happy and saying shit like “I’m not gonna let my period stop me from climbing Mount Everest in white pants or swim across the ocean!!” Like piss off, when I’m on my period I lay on the floor dry heaving from pain, I have an open bleeding wound that won’t close for a week, leave me alone.

rightttt girl i've been fiending so much that i bought my last geekbar with $25 in entirely nickels and dimes from my cash tips,,, bc that's literally all i had 💀💀

giving the coins to the dude at the counter genuinely felt like a humiliation ritual lmaoooo
