Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office for LGBTQ advancement is promoting a transgender menstruation event.
The outwardly liberal mayor has made no secret of her love of progressive causes, despite presiding over a city whose budget came up $50 million in the red just a month ago.
Wu’s LGBTQ office partnered with the Massachusetts National Organization for Women and multiple local pro-LGBTQ groups to present an event called ‘Trans Period Pride’ on June 17.
The event, which will be held at a branch of the Boston Public Library, promises to be ‘another consciousness raising conversation around transgender experiences with menstruation.’
The Instagram post promoting the talk is decked out in the shades of pink and light blue traditionally associated with the transgender pride flag.
Attendees will be treated to a catered meal and free period underwear on behalf of the mayor and the sponsoring groups.
The Daily Mail has reached out to both Mayor Wu and the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Advancement for comment.
Wu has been a controversial figure in Beantown, despite cruising to a second term in the mayor’s office.
