[quote FAQs]@ThePankhurstConnection yes work are supportive, even on the odd occasion I’ve been so exhausted by mid afternoon I’ve fallen asleep (work fine home), with luck (or not) my boss is in a similar position so she is very understanding.
Anyone remember the fight against woman who had an opinion, must be on their period. Tend to be a mentally which starts in school.

It’s good they are aiming the guidance at everybody, hopefully men will also learn something from it so they can support if needed, their colleagues and partners and adjust their mirth.
Oh and I did experience an unexpected really heavy bleed in a meeting, It went through my trousers on to the chair and it was one of my lowest moments especially as I had to leave the building and walk back to my car with my suit jacket wrapped around my waist.

That's really good to hear and could be one of the benefits of having a female boss.
I think actions, like those of your work speak louder than words and it might have been good to hear from female officers and police employees HOW they have been supported (as long as it wasn't too intrusive and personal) rather than a social media klaxon that they are being supportive. To me that just seems performative, whereas your work are just quietly getting on with actually supporting you. Hope it gets better for you FAQ, especially the tiredness must be hard.
