The CEO of the non-profit August, an organization dedicated to ending stigma around women’s periods, touted her company’s “gender-inclusive” status, and referred to women as “menstruators” during a CBS appearance.
Nadya Okamoto made the comments during a Thursday morning appearance on CBS News. Okamoto said she wanted to end the stigma around menstruation because “periods make human life possible.”
