High school tryouts form asks for menstrual periods for female athletes

"The Gulag" is our segment of real events that deserve to be sent to the bowels in which they came from.

Salt Lake City, Utah - The Utah High School Sports Association (UHSSA) is facing backlash on social media after a form distributed to female students as part of tryouts for various sports included intrusive questions about their menstrual periods. The inclusion of such personal and confidential information has sparked outrage amongst parents and the general public, raising questions about the UHSSA's approach to student privacy.

The controversy came to light when a concerned parent in Utah discovered the invasive questions on the UHSSA's tryout form. Outraged by the invasion of her daughter's privacy, she took to social media to express her concerns. The parent's post quickly gained traction, with many echoing her sentiments and calling for immediate action to rectify the situation.

Menstrual periods are personal and confidential matters that should only be discussed with medical professionals or trusted individuals in appropriate contexts. Requiring students to disclose such information on a sports association form is seen as a violation of their privacy and an unnecessary intrusion into their personal lives. The Chronicles argue that the UHSSA's request for this sensitive information serves no justifiable purpose in the context of high school sports tryouts and leads to the placement into "The Gulag".

Welcome to the Gulag, @UHSSA!
