The hype around digital menstrual tracking diverts attention and resources from what all athletes need to perform their best: adequate coaching, facilities, and time; appropriate compensation; and basic respect, including uniforms and facilities that support play across the whole cycle.

Taking women’s reports of their embodied experience seriously, including around the menstrual cycle, matters. But when research shows little to no generalizable effect of cycle phase on performance, it is misguided to suggest the menstrual cycle is key to unlocking women’s athletic potential.

(1/7) Interesting new pre-print by Reich (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...). Archaeological and geographical claims can be questioned imo though. Some kind of population contact between an early Homo sapiens population and Neanderthals is evident, but there are lots different specific scenarios.
