FFS Now Thinx have gone woke

My assumption is that transman is a specific identity and transmasculine covers a number of queer/fluid options - ? (Perhaps I shouldn't assume, but I think it's a relatively safe assumption that it just covers more bases.)

They're just boxer briefs - as already loved by many girls, boys, women and men - though in this case they're lined and you can wear them with Lunapad inserts. And yes there may be a certain amount of 'inclusivity' (aka virtue signalling) involved.

On the face of it Lunapads appear to be a women-run business largely employing women but they do have a blog (of course they do) where a lot of crucial inclusivity and fingerwagging take place: lunapads.com/blogs/all/3-reasons-to-quit-saying-feminine-hygiene
And they've linked to this bullshit: www.facebook.com/groups/255877214847553/about/

How do the products for “transmasculine menstruators” (when/why does “transmasculine” replace “trans man” or “trans male”, I wonder?) differ from products for women?

Or is there just a separate section of the website selling the same products in “manly” colours, mainly for marketing/virtue signalling purposes?

They have a product for 'transmasculine menstruators' but other items are for women, they are a self-described women-owned company etc.

Now that is fine. I can see how a young trans man would want that. But don’t pretend that women don’t exist.

Their super-duper-wokeness has always been part of their identity as a company. That harassment thing really shook them up though I think they were conflicted as their wokeness also extends to being super-chill about sex and self-expression so you could kind of smell the wood burning.

I bought Thinx pants when my periods were light, three-day non-issues and still found them unable to deal with what had been very manageable with a couple of tampons. The blood just leaks over the edges of the gusset and leaves two half-moon stains on the trouser legs. They also give me swamp-arse. Anyone who doesn't buy them on ideological grounds is not missing much.

I'm happy with my Lunapads. They are also a bit too woke for my liking ('some dads have periods' ) but considering the current climate they're pretty women-centred (can't believe I'm writing that about the manufacturers of a menstrual product). They have a product for 'transmasculine menstruators' but other items are for women, they are a self-described women-owned company etc.

modibodi make a huge range and don't seem to be afraid to use the terms woman or girls. pricey though!

www.shethinx.com/pages/giveback Surprised they haven't removed She from their domain name. Notice the 3 gender cartoon character for a website for "menstruators".

Rediculous! You would think someone in a gynaecology related field would have a better grasp of physical material reality.

Exactly, Sausage. The trans agenda is deconstructing female-ness to become nothing more than the fetishised fantasies of male objectification while ignoring the biological reality of inhabiting a female body.

It's total insanity when you think about it for more than a minute:

Pink pens, rainbows, unicorns, tutus, heavy make-up and long hair, a 'sexy' walk, enjoying being catcalled = female

Sanitary products, birth control, abortion, pregnancy support, labour, cervical exams = not specifically female! Could be anyone!! Of any gender!!!

You know something just occurred to me.

You can say that a pink pen, a handbag or a skirt is for women because society dictates that those things are indicative of a woman, even though there is nothing unique to women that means only women can use them.

However a product that can only be of use to women due to a biological fact of human life is advertised to menstruaters.

Hi thinx

Even simple creatures can understand sex - my dog knows who is a woman and doesn't bother to sniff men's bums (nice, I know).

A clitoris never got anybody pregnant and changing gender identity does not protect a woman against rape or pregnancy. A person born with a penis will never need your product. Gender identities are not the same as sex. Sex matters and you are peddling dangerous lies to young people. Why is that? What's your agenda?

That article says:

However, multiple studies have proven that sex is far more complex than just a binary.

The article it links to, although supportive of gender ideology, doesn't actually say that. It says the biology behind male and female differences is complex. Yes, biology is complex but that doesn't mean there's a spectrum of sexes, with everyone a bit male and a bit female.

Shame actually. I could do with some of those. I'll take my money elsewhere though and find a brand that doesn't refer to women as bleeders.

It just so happens that a lot of these people are women.

Just so happens. As if it's a fairly arbitrary correlation.

FFS. No man has ever had a period. Reality exists. Words mean things.

What a shame. I had been thinking of buying some. Will look elsewhere.

Good grief, they're embarrassingly historically illiterate.

Bleeders? They can fuck off and stuff their bleeder pants where the sun don't shine.

Wow even more shit on their website.

“Separate but equal” bathrooms were only introduced in the late 19th century to reinforce the idea that women, the ~inherently weaker~ sex, needed a special place to themselves for safety. This ideology continues today, with the harmful argument that micromanaging where trans people pee “protects” women. In reality, trans people need the most protection in public spaces.

So trans people, ie biological men....need more protection than women?

I’d been looking at thinx pants for dd but won’t bother now.

This is as bad as the handmaidens who contacted hospital where I work moaning about the maternity info leaflets talking about women. Because don’t you know men (ie biological women who identify as men) can get pregnant. We politely told them to bugger off.

Flexoset I have just done a proper guffaw at that

I look forward to all the Andrex adverts addressed to all you shitters out there.

From the sound of their response, they're trying not to alienate female-to-male transgender people. Not male-to-female transgender people. If that's their aim then I can see their point, in principle.

Not that that excuses the crass rudeness of calling their customers "bleeders," though. FFS. Whoever they've got writing that shit needs to be sacked.

Inclusive? Why does any mention of menstruation have to be “inclusive”?
If it relates to you, consider it addressed to you. If it doesn’t; get a fucking life. Jesus

I screenshotted this insta ad the other day - thought it was lovely, especially as my stepdaughter (12) has recently started her period.

Sad that something so unashamedly about girls seems unusual in these times.

Anyway, of course, there it was, lurking in the comments...

‘This isn’t very inclusive, what about trans men and non-binary people’?

So there we have it, not content with destroying women’s spaces, sports and political representation, now the asshats (gender neutral insult) are set on ruining poetry too.

(Round of applause for Always though!)

Bleeders? Menstruators? How fucking dehumanising.

It’s women, women, women.

Oh, but what about the women who don’t menstruated for whatever reason? Won’t they be triggered, upset and offended? I’m guessing the answer is: of course not.

It just so happens that a lot of these people are women.*

Ha ha so they call their customers bleeders.
