What Does Teddy See When Looking at the Suffering From a Menstrual Cycle? What Does That Actually Look Like?

As a teenager, Teddy felt like there was a sense of desperation because her basic needs as a girl/young woman were not being met. She would often face punishment from her teachers for missing classes when she was on her period. Her teachers did not take her lack of access to menstrual products as valid reason for missing class, and she eventually decided to give up on school because of it.
