Transwoman claims Tampax have offered sponsorship

If there is the faintest truth in Tampax brand getting involved in this gender identity bollocks, then I’ll be boycotting any Tampax point of sale. Likewise Allways, sanpro also made by Proctor & Gamble.

Day 15697 of being a girl and I still have not been asked for a tampax in a public toilet.

TitsinAbsentia I've not read through the whole thread but saw that it had grown since I first read it and wondered why. Usual case of someone turning up to scold us all - yawn...

I just wanted to say that I thought your description of a forlorn tampon was pure poetry "the scruffy fluffy one lurking with the lone mint imperial and faded receipts". It almost made me nostalgic for my periods - I haven't had one for two years.

Thank you.

To be fair, I have been asked for a tampon a few times. Most recently in the loo at St Bart’s hospital Bryan employee. I only use pads, but the recipients have always been grateful for the pads. Maybe I’m just approachable. 🤷🏻‍♀️
That said not sure why tampax wants to fawn over people who don’t actually menstruate. Maybe they see a whole new market opening up, selling tampons to people who don’t need them.

‘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’

Don’t forget the pay cut, the all important sex based difference of income over lifetime earnings.

BTW, never been asked for tampon or towels in 50 years of using the
ladies.

That made me laugh out loud - apologies if I've mistaken indignation for humour, but this whole thing is so ridiculous it's beyond satire...

Same here. I've never asked or been asked for a tampon, or heard of anyone else who has. It wouldn't bother me. I'd happily give one. But as you say, I'd just use a wad of loo roll in an emergency.

just checked the instagram, just another cheesy, motherfucker pushing their face into mine for ego purposes. So fucking tired of this, i dont GAF about gender, this is this one person's personal rainbow. It's every cheapo shit thing i loathe about social media.
Perhaps if we didn't live in such a toxic reality, men could enjoy dressing as girls for no big deal. No one addresses the fucking toxicity, we just get the 'cure' instead.

Gah!

that’s what we’re supposed to do?

53 years of this and I’m still getting this girling wrong

😑

dying here

True, very, very true.

@Lynnthesearesexnotgenderpeople

I know!! I was convinced it was parody when he asserted all wide-eyed that it was EXPENSIVE being a ‘girl’. He of course was only referring to all the makeup and hair-styling and dresses and shoes and manicures. He won’t ever have to take in to account for himself the loss of potential earnings that women typically experience when bringing up children, He won’t even have to pay for his own sanpro, instead receiving zillions of (redundant) complimentary tampons in a big sponsorship deal. (Not sure I believe that part TBH). But I’m afraid that overall, I think it’s real!

I haven't frequented public loos in a good while but don't they still have dispensers in?
(Also never asked or been asked since the dark ages of school when there was a small fad to announce you had started, Dr Whites were the in thing)

Really?
A man (I don't think men need to be called cis either) who carries San Pro?
Helping out a fellow woman? 😜🤔
More like creepy.
I have never asked a man/a 'fellow woman', or a man dressed as a woman for San Pro, as I doubt have you.
And stop it with BeKind.

How much money are Tampax offering Dylan? I'd like figures.

50 year old Aussie here. I've been asked once and that was by a close friend. Never been asked in public or heard woman asking others in public toilets.

Hasn't it just.

I first heard it from that Yaniv person and now every other transwoman is being asked for a tampon.

In my 28 years on this earth I have not once been asked by a stranger in a restroom for a tampon and I don't know one woman who would call out to strangers on the toilet asking for one

Lynnthesearesexnotgenderpeople - I've spent the last year or so in a permanent state of "surely this can't be REAL?".

As I'm sure many other women have. (Not specifically about the Dylan situation, but the mess we find ourselves in, in general).
I think a lot of us are just waiting for the punchline which never comes.
And I think it's our incredulity and utter astonishment that things have gotten as bad as they have, that has allowed a lot of this crap to slip under the radar.
We just can't actually acknowledge a lot of this shite, because it IS so unbelievable.
Men in womens, toilets, prisons, changing rooms, boys in girls toilets, men in women's sports, naked men with erections in female spas, children having puberty blocked, people denying biology, ideology taught in schools as if it were fact....the list goes on and on.
And yet here we are.
There is no punchline coming.

If this account is real, then it's honestly some of the most offensively misogynistic stuff I have ever seen.

It's like Dylan saw Caitlyn 'the hardest thing about being a woman is deciding what to wear' Jenner, and was like 'you call that misogyny? Hold my beer...sorry, I mean Cosmopolitan'.

It just can't be real?!

Haha for me I would be saving face by trying not to have to hand out the ‘super, massive, practically a nappy’ sanitary pads that I use, over to the slim, young thing who only needs a low flow tampon.

i would be mortified

Paper maternity knickers. I secretly loved wearing those.

Back to the point though.

The only thing requested in a toilet, is toilet paper. Often started with a tentative, not shy, "erm, hi. Erm. Does anyone have any toilet roll in theirs?"
Followed by the miraculous appearance of wadded up toilet roll from under the door.

Add me to the list of “this has never happened - in over 50 years of public toilet use
And me!!

Good one ☝️

but again I will remind you, the rude people who have been spewing hate have had their comments removed…so you don’t need to get angry with me, none of my comments are aimed at you or anyone making actual sensible points…it is all about the nasty, spiteful trolls whose posts have already been deleted on this thread.

Good one ☝️
