Dylan Mulvaney needs to carry tampons to offer to bio women

Actually youre right there

i should have used lots/some for both

Apparently Dylan came out as gay, then non binary, then started transitioning.

I thoughy he was just a grifter right up until the facial feminisation surgery, though that could have all been faked I suppose as there's very little discernible difference.

Has made $1.5 million in a year from paid endorsements, nearly all taking the piss out of females.

Saw this on social media today and thought it was an interesting take.

Yeah, better to hide it than to continue to post nonsense about only some women having been upset about being silenced (over biological reality) compared to lots who have thanked MN.

We absolutely do need a forum where women are actually allowed to speak and allowed to state what a woman is without the disgusting censorship we have all seen on this thread. A lot more than "some" women have been outraged at being silenced. That just minimises the lived experience of women who are seeing these terrifying infringements on their sex and on their safe spaces. Our very identity as women is being eroded purely to appease men and we should all be taking a stand. If we aren't even being allowed to have a frank discussion about this without being shut down and deleted then I am genuinely scared about where this is all going. We aren't even being allowed to state the very basics of what a biological woman and man are...that's how bad this has become. MN need to have a really close look at themselves and reflect on the profound offence and upset this has caused to the women on this board. We deserve safe spaces for women and girls and I have had to seriously consider whether MN is still a safe space if continues to be complicit in silencing us.

Getting bad Rik from The Young Ones vibes on this.

Wtf is a 'Barbie pouch', honestly. The cutesification and infantilising of this stuff is horrible.

Also watching that video of Dylan exploring a tampon and pad to see what they do is ridiculous. It's clearly for clicks. If he actually cared about learning he would have asked a biological woman rather than faffing about with glasses of water and wondering where the string goes

Thirded. Tampax are useless, Lillets all the way. No vagina, no clue.

The other thing that infuriates me is scented sanitary pads that give everyone thrush - to the point that it’s now difficult to find unscented. Is this something women pioneered? Nope it’s just something male-dominated corporations enforced on us.

I think the way free speech is going on matters on fundamental importance to women - means we need a new women’s forum.

Also - note that in this video, Dylan Mulvaney himself talks about being a boy not a girl and having gone to boys sex education glasses and that being why he is so clueless about tampons and that perhaps he should have got a woman to explain it to him.

And yet we are not allowed to use the terms woman/man on Mumsnet without being censored, banned, shutdown. It's actually terrifying when you think about it and when forced speech was employed before in history.

Some means an unspecified number or amount

can cover 2, 10, 1000 or indeed a shitload

i even agreed that it covered a shitload 🤷🏻

nice cropping there though…kudos

gonna have to hide the thread though 😀 i find it much too tempting to reply

tampax are the worst tampons ever and I don't understand how any woman can wear them

OMG this is so true! I've never thought about it but why are they the only brand that do this? Designed by a male perhaps? 🤣

Perhaps that why Dylan Mulvaney thought that tampons come in cute different sizes to accommodate "barbie pouches" of all different sizes, rather than being about flow. Being a male, Dylan Mulvaney had no idea about this of course. twitter.com/vl_plus/status/1643960999332966400?t=YOtW1Pysmjvyfo3pN6zUGA&s=19

While we’re quoting

Some means an unspecified number or amount
can cover 2, 10

While you’re not talking about it the rest of us will continue to refuse to be silenced on this board by MN and the TRAs - we know what female is and it’s not male.

I never asked a random woman in a public toilet for sanitary items in all my 35 years of having periods, and have only ever occasionally been asked for them by FEMALE friends or colleagues.

Men who fetishise periods and construct insulting fantasies about how we WOMEN behave when we are menstruating are very weird. They have no idea how painful, draining and inconvenient periods are.

Well. I've just joined a gym so know which brand to boycott for my gymwear. And I buy the sanitary products in my house for my teen DD's. I have stopped buying tampax this month and they now use another brand happily.

The old saying of no publicity is bad is long gone. Women can and will boycott brands. How ridiculous and insulting to use a male to advertise tampons or bras. I'll happily never buy that brand again.

It is amazing when you think about it, but Dylan's stash will always be full. He'll always have spare.

He's the biggest friend a woman could have, an ally you can all rely on. He'll always be ready to help, never judge.

Isn't that what women have always wanted from their fellow women?

At no point did i say it was only 2 or only 10

i am done however with talking about it

have a happy easter

No it can’t - and just as male doesn’t equal female, many, many more than 10 women have complained about being silenced on here. Both are facts.

I’m not being picked up on my language

‘some’ can cover an infinite number it can cover millions, it can cover every woman in the world

As others have said, in a period emergency, you’d stuff your knickers with loo roll and hope for the best,

Yes, we all know that but I guess Dylan won't what with being male.

Also nike bras are shite, tampax are the worst tampons ever and I don't understand how any woman can wear them, they expand lengthways and you end up feeling like you've got a dildo up there. Again, Dylan would have no understanding of any of this what with being male.

(and yes I'm being very careful not to use the words man/woman since they no longer mean what they used to and I'd quite like at least one thread to stay. male/female still refers to biological sex as far as I am aware, though probably not for much longer)

It’s a shitload - far more have complained about the vile behaviour of the TRAs and about being silenced on here than 2 or 10.

@Rosesbloomingnow I feel the same my dc are younger & very sheltered to be honest! I'm hoping the gender identity trend has passes by the time they get to the teenage years.

I find this thread very helpful. My dd has thought I'm horrific, transphobic etc due to my views and wouldn't listen long enough for next to say I wish every transperson a happy and fulfilling life, my concerns were about safeguarding and erasure of female safe spaces. Now I think she is more switched on to some of the hypocrisy and blatant nonsense spouted by some TRAs. It's very helpful for me to see how other parents with teens navigate this issue

I can almost imagine some men brazenly going into women's loos, sabotaging tampon machines, and hanging about to offer supply.

I say "almost" imagine because I hate to do my mental health more damage than TRAs have achieved already.
