Everything You Need To Know About Vaginal Discharge

Nobody really talks about vaginal discharge. Why? Well, in the grand scheme of vaginal news, it’s not really a very sexy topic. It’s not as interesting as periods, and it’s definitely not the most thrilling thing to hear about when you’re learning about puberty. Nobody is talking about their vaginal discharge with their friends or anything like that either. And yet, everyone with a vagina has to deal with it. When you think about it, discharge might be one of the most taboo topics about the human body. Think about it, people are more likely to talk about their bowel movements than the mucus-like substance coming out of their vagina everyday!

Maybe the lack of discussion about it explains why so many people are so uninformed and confused by their vaginal discharge. If you’re one of those people, it’s time to get schooled. So here’s everything you need to know about vaginal discharge. You’re definitely going to pay more attention to that weird stuff coming out of your vag from now on.

Okay but seriously though, I’m so glad there’s a post addressing how fucking taboo it is to talk about it. It’s ridiculous.
I remember when I was like 12-13 I thought my body was fucked up because NO ONE decided to tell me what was going on with my body, not even health teachers. The first time I heard “discharge” from a health class, doctor, or anyone really, was when talking about STD’s. That’s it. But it’s something that’s constantly there everyday??
To this day it still blows my mind how messed up it is that people are so hush hush about it.

I’m so mad. For years I’ve always thought that there was something wrong with me. No one tells you about normal everyday discharge and it seriously fucked me up for years. Last year, the last time I went to my OBGYN, I asked my doctor about it and all casually she tells me “It’s totally normal and happens to everyone”. Like why doesn’t anyone say this to young girls so they know they’re not fucked up? Like I’m 19 and I just found out a few months ago it’s normal. This is not okay.

HAPPY TO KNOW THAT MY ARTICLE WAS INFORMATIVE FOR Y’ALL!

What in the actual fuck.

WHAT THE FUCK

… what the— is this legit!?

Yeah it is. The phrase “three standard deviations below the mean” is the common reason for removing a male fallus and assigning the baby a female gender.

If you think about it, this actually sums up, pretty well, our society.

It physically hurt my stomach to see this.

Same >_< I’ve reblogged this before but it needs more publicity so I’m doing it again.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new and is still used today. ~Mod A

can someone explain this to me in Lehman’s terms pleSe? im confused and don’t know why everyone’s losing their shit because i don’t really understand the diagram

Okay, so there’s a wide variety of genitals out there. Here is a very simplistic chart of a spectrum genitals can fall on: 

Basically the clitoris and the penis are the exact same thing, very similar anatomy. Doctors will define it as a clitoris or penis depending on 1. if it has a urethra going through it and 2. it’s size. The diagram is the one they use to decide if they want to call the baby a girl or boy or intersex. Many babies are put through genital surgeries (sometimes without the parent’s knowledge or permission) to make them look more like a penis or more like a vulva which can cause many health problems as it is a surgery, or other problems related to being assigned a gender. Any kind of surgery that isn’t necessary for health should not be performed on babies because they cannot consent.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY SEX IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT!
