A transgender menstruation event is being promoted by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office for LGBTQ advancement.
Despite leading a city whose budget was $50 million in the hole just a month ago, the ostensibly liberal mayor has never concealed her passion for progressive causes.
On June 17, Wu’s LGBTQ office organized an event dubbed “Trans Period Pride” in collaboration with the Massachusetts National Organization for Women and many local pro-LGBTQ organizations.
The Boston Public Library branch will host the event, which is billed as “another consciousness raising conversation around transgender experiences with menstruation.”
The pink and light blue hues typically associated with the transgender pride flag are used in the Instagram post advertising the talk.
On behalf of the mayor and the supporting organizations, attendees will receive complimentary period underwear and a catered meal.
Both Mayor Wu and the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Advancement have been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.
Despite easily winning a second term as mayor, Wu has been a contentious figure in Beantown.

Most recently, despite the city’s budget falling short by over $50 million, an LGBTQ organization returned city grant funds after Wu began giving migrants $500 vouchers for self-care services like massages and haircuts.
The “wellness allowance” is given preference to applicants who are “low-income, isolated queer and trans migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees.”
According to Mass Daily News, OUTnewcomers, a group that supports LGBTQ+ immigrants in Boston, and the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement developed the “Belonging Matters” project.
The Democrat-run city department provides applicants with $250 to $500 for “non-clinical care.”
According to the post, they can engage in practices like yoga, meditation, peer support, acupuncture, creative healing, and gym memberships.
According to data for current fiscal year, the city has a $48.4 million deficit and Boston Public Schools has a $53 million shortfall, which might result in staffing layoffs for teachers.
At the Boston Red Sox home opening in March, the Fenway supporters viciously jeered both her and leftist Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey.
Wu, 41, has recently come under fire for missing an annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration a few weeks after going to a night market during Ramadan.
On June 17, Wu’s LGBTQ office organized an event dubbed “Trans Period Pride” in collaboration with the Massachusetts National Organization for Women and many local pro-LGBTQ organizations.
Before the Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays MLB game begins, drag queens wave the “Trans Flag” from the infield as part of the Pride celebration of Boston’s LGBTQ+ population.
At the decades-old St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast held at the Ironworkers Local 7 Union Hall in South Boston, she failed to show up.
Wu was there at the breakfast last year. It was a get-together of politicians from all around the state who alternately made fun of each other with songs, jokes, and punches.
However, Wu decided to go to church with her family instead of attending the St. Patrick’s Day event, despite having posted online about a Ramadan Night bazaar at city hall just two weeks prior, a spokeswoman informed the Boston Globe.
The mayor’s departure comes shortly after a confrontation with Senator Nick Collins, the event’s host.
Collins, a fellow Democrat, has openly opposed Wu’s plan to temporarily raise taxes on the city’s commercial real estate in order to avoid raising taxes on residential property owners.
Wu’s salary increased to $250,000 from $207,000 in January after she was reelected last year. The salary for city council members has increased from $103,500 to $125,000.
Councilor Sharon Durkan, Wu’s ally, stated during the meeting that the pay increases were required to stop politicians from stealing or accepting bribes. “We had a Council colleague…” “I do not want anyone who serves in this body to be unable to afford their life and to go towards something that is really dark and negative,” Durkan stated. “There was some corruption that took place on this body.”
According to a September Emerson College poll, 66% of voters thought she was doing a good job in her position.
