Ericka Hart calls herself a “sexuality educator.” But we’re really not sure what sort of lesson we’re supposed to learn from this, other than that she’s a disgusting person:
Left a present in the men’s bathroom as a reminder that any gender can get their period and use whatever bathroom they want! pic.twitter.com/66Q8VKxm12

I’ll make sure it all gets in the toilet next time. Oopsy! pic.twitter.com/qBK3VtrJ0J

In case it wasn’t already clear, she’s super-duper proud of herself. She’s not letting the haters distract her from her mission:
Now, I see what also will cause so much stress other than talking about white supremacy, a little period blood.
— Ericka Hart (She/ They) (@iHartEricka) April 8, 2019
Yeah, it’s just a little bodily fluid! No biggie! Someone else will clean it up.
By leaving a mess for a low wage worker who has to clean both bathrooms, and depending on local policy may now have to use special cleaners and spend more time. So brave of you.

You don’t care about people cleaning the bathrooms for low wages, you are stressed about a little period blood. Just be straight up

You could have just stopped right at “period blood bc it’s gross” Everything else you are saying is to support that claim. You don’t care about folks who have to clean the bathroom nor anyone’s anxiety for that matter. You are just grossed out by a bodily fluid.

She’s grossed out by biohazard, Ericka. Biohazard you left on purpose, in a public place.
I believe there are much more productive ways to spread awareness about gender identity without being inconsiderate towards custodial staff.
The point has gotten lost behind this gesture, and people aren’t seeing the significance of the message you’re trying to send.— me, a fat ??? (@SimoneMariposa) April 8, 2019
You have to get boo, people are not upset about custodial staff. They are upset about period blood. If I showed my period stained sheets there would be the same outrage it would just look different.
— Ericka Hart (She/ They) (@iHartEricka) April 8, 2019
If you busted out your period-stained sheets in a public place, people would be outraged, yes. Because you’d be shoving your bodily fluid in their faces. And we’d be willing to bet that Ericka would be grossed out if someone “left a present” in her bathroom.
You act as if someone being grossed out by someone else’s bodily fluids is abnormal or proof of bigotry. Are you suggesting medical personnel shouldn’t wear gloves or other protective gear? https://t.co/w5o8VS63nc

the wokest biohazard

We can’t help but wonder how Ericka’s performance art — or whatever the hell this was supposed to be — benefits the trans community in any way. Or any community, for that matter.

this is disgusting

Literally no need for this.

How do you feel about dirty public restrooms? If you walked in one and blood was on the floor would you be comfortable and unconcerned? https://t.co/w5o8VS63nc
— Some chick named Heather (@hboulware) April 8, 2019
Honestly, as someone who has cleaned bathrooms as part of my job it’s disgusting that you 1) Left blood on the floor on purpose. 2) Bragged on social media about. 3) Have zero respect for the people who have to clean up your mess. https://t.co/Nrt4HierTW
— Some chick named Heather (@hboulware) April 8, 2019
As someone who has had to clean bathrooms before, this is not helpful.
It just gives someone more work to do and people will assume the blood came from something else entirely.— Dan and Angel Clarke (@AngelDaddy4) April 8, 2019
Look, do you, but I have just one simple request and that is for you to not leave your bodily fluids on the floor in public.
I'm sorry for asking so much of you, but please… https://t.co/lyELASHTNx

It shouldn’t be this difficult to live in a society.
I can't believe how dumb our world is. https://t.co/OlhfQnPBhj
