⚡️INCREDIBLE COVERAGE OF MENOPUNKAPALOOZA & MENOPUNKS MOVEMENT IN @guardian_us by @lisatozzi 🤘💥❤️‍🔥⚡️ “The music festival Menopunkapalooza began with the ceremonial application of an estrogen patch to the backside of Built to Spill and Prism Bitch drummer Teresa Esguerra. It ended with riot grrrl pioneers Calamity Jane tearing the roof off Portland’s Crystal Ballroom as they performed for the first time in 35 years. What happened in between was 750 festivalgoers, a dozen pillars of the Pacific north-west’s punk rock scene, and a team of medical professionals singing, laughing and occasionally raging about a topic still taboo in 2026: women’s sexual health during menopause and perimenopause, and the promise of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).” “It was the start of a revolution, a movement led by riot grrrl-era musicians and gen X doctors to address how failures of the government and medical establishment have kept middle-aged women in the dark about their medical options, said Alicia J Rose, founder of Menopunkapalooza. It also was a couple of joyous, electric nights of music on the last weekend of June.” READ THE WHOLE FCKNG FAB PIECE! 💥LINK IN BIO💥 Beautifully written by @lisatozzi for @guardian_us 🤘 U RULE❤️‍🔥 ⚡️HORMONES ARE HEALTHCARE⚡️ ⚡️MENOPUNKS IS A MISINFORMATION SHATTERING FEATURE DOCUMENTARY AND PODCAST ABOUT PERI/MENOPAUSE AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS SEEN THROUGH THE LENS OF DEFIANT GENX MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS, TRAILBLAZING DOCTORS AND OPINIONATED CULTURAL ICONS ⚡️🎬 @ajrhq ⚡️GET ON THE LIST: www.menopunks.com ⚡️ #menopause #perimenopause #hormonallyradicalized #hormonesarehealthcare  #menopunks by @menopunks

If you got a uterus/bruterus/duderus you MUST listen to the @menopunks podcast. Alicia's interviews are just the best, and the information I've learned has helped me navigate menopause a little easier with a shit load of empowerment! Which, as a trans nonbinary person has been TOUGH. Even if you're nowhere near menopause, the info from the cast will help you get prepared for what to expect AND support other people you love going who are knee deep in the hoopla. #menopause #health #transhealth #hrt taken in Marburg, Germany by @menopunks

⚡️HELP MURRAY BECOME A NYT BESTSELLER! PRE-ORDER SHOWBIZ:MY LIFE AS A MIDDLE AGED MAN!📕😍🏳️‍⚧️⚡️ ⚡️⭐️EPISODE 46: GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF MAN-O-PAUSE WITH MURRAY HILL NOW STREAMING!⭐️⚡️ ⚡️On this weeks pod we had the honor and delight of hearing from one of the funniest and most entertaining humans in the universe - MR. SHOWBIZ himself - actor & comedian @murrayhill !! Murray deep dives into his memoir, *Showbiz: My Life as a Middle-Aged Man*, including his beginnings in drag king performance and trans identity, addiction, abuse, survival, and reinvention. He gets into overcoming rejection and bigotry in the biz, his genius stint as Fred on the wonderfully ground breaking show “Somebody Somewhere” with @bridgeteverett , the absolute importance of queer representation on screen and in comedy clubs, his overnight descent into rage, brain fog and the inability to cope in dealing with peri/meno as a middle age man, how finally finding a doctor that would prescribe HRT may have saved his career and marriage, how we can all leverage social media to build community care networks, how imagining a more caring, equitable future where people feel like they belong, health care is accessible, and marginalized communities help drive real change can change everything AND SO MUCH MORE!💥 ❤️‍🔥Be sure to nab a copy of Murray’s book “SHOWBIZ: my life as a middle aged man.” out 10/6 PRE-ORDER NOW! 📕❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥MENOPUNKS PODCAST IS NOW EMPOWERED BY @planned_parenthood_cw !!!❤️‍🔥 Make a telehealth appt for compassionate, informed gender affirming care today!⚡️ ⚡️HORMONES ARE HEALTHCARE⚡️ ⚡️MENOPUNKS IS A MISINFORMATION SHATTERING FEATURE PODCAST AND DOCUMENTARY FILM IN PRODUCTION ABOUT PERI/MENOPAUSE AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS SEEN THROUGH THE LENS OF DEFIANT GENX MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS, TRAILBLAZING DOCTORS AND OPINIONATED CELEBRITY ICONS ⚡️🎬🎤🧠 @ajrhq ⚡️ARE YOU A MENOPUNK? #menopause #perimenopause #transrightsarehumanrights #menopunks #hormonehealth by @menopunks
