Scottish group scraps period dignity role after abuse for hiring man
"A new regional role promoting period dignity across Tayside has been scrapped after the group involved received threats and abuse for appointing a man.
Last month, Jason Grant was announced as the period dignity regional lead officer for the Tay region in what was believed to be the first role of its kind in Scotland and the result of Holyrood’s groundbreaking women’s health legislation.
His appointment was met with an incredulous and sometimes angry response, in particular on social media. The former Wimbledon tennis champion Martina Navratilova posted on Twitter: “This is just f****** ridiculous,” adding: “Have we ever tried to explain to men how to shave or how to take care of their prostate or whatever?!? This is absurd.”
Some commentators immediately linked Grant’s appointment – which was funded by the Scottish government but chosen by a local team of councils and colleges – to recent Holyrood rows over sex and gender."
