Transwoman claims Tampax have offered sponsorship

I just looked at it too and she's kind of a 30+ year old male.

I've seen their Bored Panda articles and video, they are cringey but the comments section is overwhelmingly fawning, unless they are censored.

Gawd, the handmaidens are out in force on that instagram feed

embarassing

That we are not allowed to notice that what Dylan posts is sexist and ill-informed about actual womanhood is a direct consequence of the 'womenz be kind and silence terfs' campaigns.

Sure you can't go near a woman's public toilet without being deafened by the cries of, sister can you spare me a tampon.

Dylan's first day as a 'girl' certainly strikes me as a parody. She cried three times, puts lip gloss on and so on.

This so bizarre - this stuff is so offensive I assumed it was spoof ('Day 47 of being a girl, and I'm hiking in a pleather skirt because you never know who you're gonna meet') but it's not spoof. But because this guy is so 'positive' and 'sweet' it's all fine?

A woman called Amala Ekpunobi has done a podcast on Dylan, making perfectly reasonable points about how this is offensive and demeaning for women. And all she has in the comments is a tonne of criticism.

How is this OK? Why the fuck do we have to accept this?

Yeah have they bollox!

Guys, you're wasting your time on this thread.
In the nicest possible way.
This is the fifth or sixth thread (maybe more) about men and periods in the last two weeks which has been deleted (this one will be too).

We all know men don't have periods.
We all know transwomen (being men) don't have periods.

It seems that, however, we are not allowed to discuss that on a women's forum.
Also, we are not permitted to discuss WHY a man would be so "interested" in periods, period products, talking about periods and offering period products to women.

This thread is already on borrowed time guys.

Then real life eclipses any satire, then you know we are in clown land.

I've never been asked, or indeed asked, for any kind of sanpro in the women's. But I've got a theory. If you do indeed get caught short in this fashion (I never did before my menopause, was so indoctrinated into exactly how humiliating this would be that, like every other bleeding woman I know, I made sure I was more than adequately equipped at all likely times..) then you look round the loo and realise - hallelujah! - that you are in the presence of a bloke. Gender pay gap being what it is, you know that they are more likely to have spare cash for complete luxuries than actual women have for necessities and so you ask him first.

(The alternative would be that they are lying through their teeth in service of a very grubby fantasy, and I can't believe that that could possibly be true, could it...?)

Yep - I’ve seen it lots of times now - it’s a fantasy linked to a fetish

Ridiculous! Stupid Dylan

WTAF why IS Dylan referring themselves as a girl. They are an adult! Documenting girlhood whilst being an adult is crazy and bit creepy if I've honest.

And who carries tampons for other women! You carry it for yourself cos noone in all my years has ever asked. I mean most if not all public toilets have sanitary machines so you can buy it yourself.

I look forward to Dylan doucmenting all the sexism they've faced being a girl/woman. The glass ceiling they've encountered and how at work being woman means your often told your sensitive etc. You know the real challenges us women face

honestly if someone who didn’t have periods was carrying around a box of tampax a “just in case” I’d think it was a fetish or they were like poisoned or something.

😂 that’s hilarious LOL. I must remember to carry tampax in case my girlfriends need one. I can shout “ooh me me me me! I HAVE A TAMPAX!”

sorry but this is quite funny.

Ugh, I've seen this particular person on TikTok. The delusion that after a month or so on oestrogen that he passes so well that women in the toilets would ask for sanitaryware only bolstered by the handmaidens telling them how gorgeous they look

Wait, have just had a bit of a more in depth look. I don't....I don't think it's a spoof account!

If that is real it is soooooo offensive to women!

I'm not sure Dylan's view of womanhood is very comprehensive. Or realistic www.instagram.com/reel/CbBCPSmDhEM/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

But what do I know, eh ladies? I'm just a silly ditsy girl 🙄

Does anyone else find it mildly offensive that by 'being a woman' or 'being a girl' all it seems to involve is wearing dresses and looking pretty? I'd like to think there's more to women then just looking aesthetically pleasing 🤨

Also, never been asked for a tampon.

I think so yes

6th grade is the same as year 7 in England ie 1st year of secondary school.

Any boy carrying around menstrual products in case his female friends ask him for them is creepy as fuck.

Have just had a look through Dylans account - I'm pretty sure it's a spoof account isn't it?

I assumed that was a pisstake.

Tbh Dylan seems like an alright person at face value - upbeat and clearly liked by their fans, but they're using female experiences of pain as validation for their gender identity.

A woman being so desperate for a tampon that she asks a fella for a tampon is not good. I'm more annoyed at the corporations buying into this and using them as a face for tampons, than the individual.
