I started the previous thread and have had no email telling me why it was removed. I saw on Twitter (from a source I trust) that P&G had confirmed the letter was real. Perhaps the mods would do me the courtesy of actually telling me why the thread hasn’t been reinstated?
Lots of stuff on this site is ‘unconfirmed’.

Another one easy to avoid along with Flora.

World’s gone fucking insane.

Ah, I see - that makes more sense, Twatticus.

There was a thread about this but MNHQ took it down as the reports were unconfirmed

Thats very strange

Loads of stuff is unconfirmed

Every fucking MIL or parking thread for a start

Always confirm it at the bottom of the article.

I was wondering where the other thread went!

TwatticusFinch · 20/10/2019 09:51

I don't understand why transwomen wouldn't be able to identify with a feminine Venus logo, in the same way as any other women.

It's the transmen who weren't taking testosterone and therefore still having periods who complained.

TwatticusFinch · 20/10/2019 09:50

Well I'm guessing it's confirmed now if it's in the papers.

If it’s true they have not been “forced” to do anything - they have chosen to.
