So this is the latest campaign from cosmetics company Benefit...

I have a lot of questions. Firstly, why on earth a cosmetics company are not only jumping on the current trend of "let's somehow get menstruation into our ethos even though it's not related to our company, just so the women think we totally get them" but why they are jumping on it and taking such a stupid, exclusionary and ridiculous view point. Baffled doesn't begin to cover it.

Secondly, how can anyone other than a woman have a period? Answers on a postcard...

I’m a woman and I no longer experience periods?

Not all women have periods but ONLY women can have periods

As am I however no male in the world has ever had the physical ability at any time to have a period.

I am sure it is virtue signaling all the ‘right thoughts’. And let’s not forget about the female NB’s who would still be in their market.

However, I also know a socially transitioned teenage female, a transboy, who wears more make up, and dresses much more femininely that I ever did or do. (Ie. Dresses pretty much like their friends do)

Because, they are expanding the bandwidth of how males dress, or so I gather….

(I think it is a great thing to expand ‘bandwidths’ of how the sexes present by the way. I think it is offensive that people declaring themselves as the opposite sex believe they have any right to declare they are expanding the bandwidth of the sex they have declared themselves though.)

I've just looked at Kenny's Instagram. Doing a public service announcement telling trans men that they need to have cervical smears because Kenny didn't know they were necessary until they had a conversation with their sister.

The fact that the NHS record people by gender rather than sex is one of the most wrong-headed idiotic things that trans activists demanded and actively damages trans people's health.

And no, I don't think Kenny uses benefit cosmetics and benefit don't make period products so k really don't see the point of this tie in other than virtue signalling and brainwashing.

They're right.

Girls experience periods too.

Women and girls.

They do seem to be thinking transman. The one in question is Kenny Ethan Jones.

There was a Kenny Jones on the disastrous C4 'Genderquake' 4 years ago, aka 'The Caitlyn Jenner Show'. I imagine it's one and the same KJ. Caused some confusion as there's a male musician called Kenny Jones.

Quite, what has this got to do with Benefit's market? Virtue signalling. Not bought any of their products for some time but definitely won't ever again.

Though TMANM and, sex being binary, they must therefore be women, biologically speaking.

You know, what with periods involving shedding the lining of the womb and only female humans having wombs.

It's an actual fact that if you decide words have no meanings then a cat can be an astronaut.

And a zebra can eat meat.

And my dog can be in charge. Oh, wait...

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 27/04/2022 08:00

yeah, it's a quote from a woman who identifies as a man

who presumably wouldn't touch their products as they wouldn't work at all with the sexist stereotypes that individual has chosen to live their life by

bat shit
