A group in Tayside has scrapped the role of period dignity officer after facing a backlash for appointing a man.
Jason Grant's hiring sparked a heated online debate, with critics saying the job should have gone to a woman.
The area's period dignity working group says the role will be discontinued following "threats and abuse" to those involved.
Mr Grant was appointed to work with the group to ensure the legal right to free period products in public places.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova had described the decision to appoint a man as "absurd", while actress Frances Barber said she was "fuming".
