The claim: Florida requires female student-athletes' menstrual history but the state does not require proof of training to carry a gun without a permit. Our rating: False ❌

"Under Ron DeSantis, Florida girls ARE required to provide their menstrual history just to play sports," reads the tweet."Floridians are NOT required to provide any proof of training to carry guns without a permit. GOP 'Alpha Males' are more afraid of our vaginas than they are of weapons of war."with the same claim from the left-wing account Being Liberal accumulated nearly 7,000 likes before it was recently corrected.

Both parts of this claim are wrong. Female students are not required to submit records of their menstrual history to play sports in Florida, as a recent proposal in this vein was voted down. And to legally carry a concealed firearm in Florida, one must obtain a license and provide proof of training.
