The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has made a major decision to remove all questions about menstruation from their required medical evaluation form. This move comes after a meeting to discuss the form, which contained questions regarding student athletes’ menstrual cycles.

The form had sparked criticism from many, including the Miami Herald, which reported that the sports board had removed the questions following the outcry.

The FHSAA held a meeting to discuss the form and eventually voted down a plan to collect menstrual data on high school athletes in Florida.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that the meeting was live-streamed and was attended by many who were eager to hear the final outcome.

This news marks a major victory for advocates of gender equality in sports and for those who have long been pushing for more inclusive policies for female athletes.

The FHSAA’s decision to remove the questions from their form is a step in the right direction and sends a clear message that the organization is committed to making sure that all athletes are treated fairly and with respect.
