Fyi, the reason it’s noteworthy is he put them in boys toilets and boys don’t menstruate. Which is weird
How about people that are born with both sets of sexual organs? Should those people not have access to the products that they need regardless of which bathroom they go in to?
Oh, so not only do you not want people who need them to have access to menstrual supplies, you also seem to think bigotry against trans people is an acceptable reason why.
I think we will disagree on what constitutes “bigotry against trans people”
It’s not weird if you have non-binary kids using the boys restroom.
Here’s the Republican logic:
Trans kids shouldn’t exist.
Trans kids shouldn’t be allowed to transition.
Trans kids shouldn’t be allowed puberty blockers.
Trans kids shouldn’t have access to basic health products necessary for human dignity.
Republicans want to do everything they can to marginalize trans kids, make life difficult for trans kids and, ultimately, make it even more likely that trans kids will try to kill themselves than they already do, and that rate is damned high enough as it is.
Let me put it to you another way maybe you can understand…
Are you going to tell Buck Angel he’s not allowed to have tampons in the men’s room? 'Cause I have news for you…
Non binary is a fad that we will not hear about in 15 years
I’m not a republican.
There will be a different name for it, but non-binary people have been around as long as there have been people.
One of the more famous examples:
Transmasc students who use boys toilets still menstruate unless on some serious hormone therapy.
Really this country should gave gone to unisex toilets generations ago
That is a fraction of a fraction of a percent of people. Making all toilets wheelchair accessible would probably help more.
Problem is, women hate it when men use their toilets
Making all toilets wheelchair accessible would probably help more.
I’m pretty sure that’s already the case. So now that that problem is solved we can move on to figuring out the difficult challenge of making bathrooms unisex. Do we have the time and budget to remove the sign from the door and go about our day?
Bro have you ever been in a ladies room? Consistently more nasty then the men’s, nobody’s trying to be in there. You just need a Boogeyman
Have you gone to a public event. Women’s toilets have long lines and men’s have short to no lines. Makes me think men wouldn’t like women sharing their toilets either.
Wow your post history is weird.
Cis this cis that, election fraud, echo chamber, echo chamber, echo chamber! ( and it goes on )
Really this country should gave gone to unisex toilets generations ago
The reality of this is that it would end up like divisions in sports and other competitive activities and we’d have a women’s restroom and a unisex restroom. Because some women want to avoid the opposite sex and society will broadly respect that because they are women.
If schools did switch to all unisex toilets, then we’d just be a complaint and a lawsuit away from official Title IX policy being that girls toilets are mandatory regardless of whether or not there are unisex toilets but boys toilets are not if unisex toilets are available and to do otherwise is sex discrimination because of some arbitrary excuse containing the word “historic” to explain why discrimination is not discrimination so long as it benefits girls.
Instead of stalls put proper walls and doors on the toilets like you have at home. Boom. Unisex toilets with no issues.
I’m not deleting your comment just so you see how many people disagree with you and keep reading the replies. It’s 2024, not the nineteenth century, and transphobia and misoginia only makes you and everyone else worse off.
Am I supposed to take this as a kindness or some kind of threat? I couldn’t give a rats fart what any of the loonies on this site think anything I say
I came here thinking it may me a more sane alter to Reddit, holy shit I was wrong.
This is like 2016 tumbler, but you all think then world is like this
Who actually gives a shit? Not the least because transboys do exist, but also because having people reduce the stigma around feminine hygiene products is a net benefit to everyone.
Actually, he didn’t explicitly do so.
“The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school distric”
That sounds like a perfectly reasonable phrasing.
There is no particularly pro-trans wording or explicitly declaring mens rooms to also have it, the phrasing is supremely neutral.
This guy also doesn’t support free lunches for kids in school. Says the majority don’t need them, so we shouldn’t provide them at all.
I gotta say, you sure have some terrible takes, my friend.
Been researching me. Dishonestly representing my opinions. Poor.
I am totally in favour of free school lunches for those in need.
Do you support buying rich peoples kids lunch with tax money?
yeah, I do.
I was a kid on free and reduced lunch. there’s stigma around being poor enough to need it, and I was bullied for it. my home life was sufficiently dysfunctional that it could be the only food I ate that day, and there were still times I’d rather be hungry than bullied.
so in the interest of removing something kids can be bullied over, sure. tax the rich more, and let a relatively tiny bit of our taxes buy every child at least one meal a day.
-childless taxpayer
I’ll assume I misread, it happens. However, kids are kids. Let them eat. How much their parents make doesn’t matter.
It works like uniforms. If everyone gets the same lunch, kids can’t manufacture conflict out of it. Stealing lunch money has always been a thing.
Yes, I support providing free school lunches to both rich and poor students. It removes the stigma of receiving free or reduced cost lunches.
When my kids were in elementary school so many of the students were on free or reduced price lunch they just decided to give every kid a free breakfast and lunch. And even though I could afford the lunches it was great because I didn’t have to get them breakfast before school and I didn’t have to make sure their lunch money account was topped up.
So even if you don’t need them they’re a really nice thing to have, IMHO.
Imagine boy picking up tampons for their girlfriends or just good friends because they couldn’t.
Imagine, you’re sitting in a coffee shop enjoying a latte and a guy comes up and says “did you hear about tampon tim?” No one can imagine that. It’s fucking weirdo abnormal behavior.
That’s most narratives from most of these goofballs that get their conversation-starters from the likes of Faux, hate radio, Breitbart (does that still exist?) for several decades now, and I’m all too happy that many people of prominence are now acknowledging just how weird that truly is.
Well he is going to help stem the red wave so I don’t know how this is actually an insult…
From the article:
And finally, as Walz reminds us—anyone who thinks that period jokes are appropriate or funny is just plain, well, weird.
Nah. Period jokes can be funny. The problem here isn’t a joke. It’s the anger they’re trying to stir up about the Boogeyman of transgender students.
Like what the fuck does tampon availability have to do with trans kids? These people are deranged.
“The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district”
They got all pissy because the law didn’t explicitly say “girls bathrooms” and didn’t use any pronouns.
Because they also may or may not have been available in the boys room. I think that was initially the intention but, well, some teenage boys are going to be dumbasses with menstrual products.
EDIT:
As for the latest round of name calling, it seems the aspect of the Minnesota law that has conservatives most agitated is its language: the law states that pads and tampons must be available to “all menstruating students” and “in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” A failed attempt to amend the bill to only name “female restrooms,” did not keep it from passing as is with bipartisan support.
Eating yoghurt is like eating a out a woman in her period - you never know when the klumbs will appear.
Ok if Harris and Walz win I am going to memeify a picture of Tim heroically stopping the ‘Red Tide’ with a massive sanitary product. I’m sure others are planning the same.
It’s not ironic. This is politics at this point… You can feel however you want about it (I’ve personally lost all faith in humanity), but ultimately this is the current META
