'A transgender male model has been announced as the face of a new campaign aiming to challenge the stigma around periods.'

Just why?

But from everything I've read about transmen, in general they do not like having periods. Obviously. So to promote it seems strange when it's something they like to avoid having to confront.

Does anyone like having periods?

I honestly get confused by this.

I’m expected to embrace that Kenny used to be a women

But if i want to speak about Lily Madigan being a man in the past, I’m dead naming and committing literal acts of violence?

Why should anyone give a crap about periods?

Really? It’s a bodily function. It’s part of being a biological woman. You use sanitary protection. Job done.

Well, no

I was getting at the fact that a lot of transmen say that periods are traumatic and triggering.

Just wondered if this person now actually has a penis which makes him a man?

It's just more misogyny. 99% of people that have periods don't look like men. But we're not good enough to advertise something that only impacts women. It has to be someone who looks like a bloke because virtue signalling is more important than communicating with the audience they're presumably trying to reach. How fucking tedious

Jenny James it's perfectly simple.

Man - has a dick can define as he wants and say what he wants.
Transwoman - used to be a man and have a dick (some still have) so can define as they want and say what they want.
Transman - literally or symbolically has the sacred phallus so can define as they want and say what they want.
Woman - has a cunt and needs to shut up and obey all the above.

Ah so if he wants to go female to male your all ok with that and happy to deny he has periods and also happy to call them him. But if a man wants to transition to a woman your all up in arms. I get it now.

At the time you posted this response, one poster was confused and thought it was a TIM advertising periods (which they would not be having), and one poster referred to the person as 'he' while acknowledging that they would previously have had periods.

So who on earth are 'all' these people your post is directed at? Not a single poster had done what you are claiming. Utterly bizarre. Is this a reading comprehension issue, or were you just so eager to jump in and accuse people that you didn't bother to wait and tailor your accusations to something that was actually based in reality?

Kenny had periods for a whole 3 years. Poor Kenny

It's a complete waste of time, I mean we're all women who are more than capable of dealing with emotions about periods and going in a supermarket and buying appropriate products rather than special little snowflakes who need our hand holding.

Trans/post-menopause/male/female/whatever it's all futile.

Seems a very odd choice of 'role model'. Someone who so hated being a woman that they transed to being a man being presented to women as a role model and encouraging talking about periods -which they hated and were pleased when they stopped
And I thought it was 'transphobic' to dead name someone and refer back to their past life as the opposite sex ? Or is that only when women do it?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

No, Tinycitrus - you've got it all wrong because you're a woman You need to "unite periods with pampering" and shell out £13 a month for a Pink Parcel full of landfill boxes with "femcare", sample of chocolate to "aid blood flow", a sachet of herbal tea and some beauty product samples. Oh and you need to spend a similar amount for a Betty Box for your teen daughter because periods are so embarrassing and awful.

Then you can buy a "tee" with a slogan saying periods aren't embarrassing. And there's a bloke advertising that "tee"

Why are they patronising us with this nonsense?

FFS

Trans is a bloody career move
And incredibly boring. Can they talk about anything else

Why are they patronising us with this nonsense?

To sell product to the woke generation. Everyone knows that once you choose a product to shove in your knickers/vagina, you usually stick with it. So getting the younger generation on board with sanitary items is key to increased profits.

Nothing to do with patronising anything or anyone. Just marketing.

We can't do right for doing wrong, us XX people.

I don't think it's a bad thing.

There are so many children, whether we like it or not, dealing with feeling as though they are 'trans' and having periods too. Normalising the whole periods/trans issue can only be a good thing can't it? If we can get girls who feel trans to accept their periods/biology then there is a massive chance they won't transition.

It's not like he is the only person advertising the products anyway.

He's female Bollocks to that.

Bizarre sales tactics.

Is it possible that advertisers are worried about losing sales because lots of teenage girls are identifying as fluid/male/whatever? And this is a move to say "no no, you should still buy our stuff"? (or to get men who identify as women to see something they should buy just to fit in?)

There are 4 other people who have been chosen as part of this campaign, all females. So the brand have decided to use a range of people to advertise in order to target a wide demographic...shocker.

This person, one of the 5 chosen, has experience of periods. Transgender people experiencing periods is a reality. Men and women need to talk about menstruation more because it shouldn't be embarrassing to experience a normal bodily function and associated health needs should be a higher priority globally. If the use of a transgender model means the campaign is noticed by a few more people I don't think that's a bad thing.

I read about this earlier this week (maybe in the Standard) and the most amazing statement in the the article was that trans men were only mentioned in 8% advertising/articles about periods and how this was fighting to increase that. So it’s already disproportionately included (unless we think 8% of people who have periods identify as male) and yet we need more inclusion. Mad and proving what a ME ME ME craziness this issue is.

Why's it bollocks? They were born female, they are still female. Can't identify your way out of biology.
