I can't even believe this is happening! And to be honest, when I started reading your article I presumed this was something to do with university athletes, though I couldn't imagine why anyone would need to collect the data.

Imagine my shock when I googled and learned this is about high school girls. It's about a Florida high school athletics association considering requiring high school girls to provide detailed period information to their schools.

That data is optional now, but the association has recommended making it mandatory. There will be a final vote at the end of February.

How dystopian is this?
