To feel under attack about sanpro

[Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed]

Mainly the brand changing its packaging to be trans friendly. Are we slowly eradicating womenhood? Along with " pregnant person". It feels such a slippery slope.

[SweetPetrichor]

Does it matter...really? If it makes some people feel better, and honestly, who notices the labels on packets. It's a non-issue.

[Pandainmyporridge]

But it makes me feel worse - don't my feelings matter too?

[Michelleoftheresistance]

Amazing how important it is to some to tell women firmly that this Doesn't Matter. When there are threads everywhere from women saying that to them, it does.

[ControversialFerret]

Read back through the thread - on the face of it this seems like a big fuss over nothing, but it's actually symptomatic of a far wider issue. The whole meaning of 'woman' is being changed.

[Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed]

It matters to me. I'm a women i try and live my life within the mysogony, male violence. I get told to not to be too sensitive if i complain. If i sit on public transport and a man opens his legs as far as possible. Im the problem if i complain. The way i see it is we are biological female male or hermaphrodite. That is our sex. If you were buried a 1000yrs and dug up that's what the dna would say. If you have dysmorhia and have surgery to change to your chosen gender then you should be respected as your sex. But before surgery and no self I'd.

The threads on fb about breastfeeding now chest feeding etc is a slow erasure as well!!!

[TriJo]

Can honestly say that I have never given a single fuck about the wrappers on my pads. There could have been middle fingers on it the whole time and I wouldn't have noticed.

[pikapikachu]

Men can get breast cancer so where does chest feeding come from?

[Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed]

They dont like the term breast. As it's triggering

[Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed]

They dong like the term breast

[ControversialFerret]

I know people will be reading this thread and thinking it's a viper's nest of transphobia - but honestly it's not.

I feel very genuinely sympathetic to anyone who is struggling with gender dysphoria. It must be terrible feeling so utterly wretched and uncomfortable in your body. But that shouldn't - and can't - affect the sex-based rights of women and girls without gender dysphoria.

[Aridane]

And a packaging design on the plastic wrapper few have noticed is the hill to die on

[Happyspud]

I didn’t realise it was a ‘right’ to have the word woman or whatever on a package design😂

It must be awful but that can't stop women and girls having a certain design on a plastic wrapper that none of them actually cared about in the first place?

Obviously not that sympathetic then.

It the sameness old problem, Transmen find a reference to woman or female body upsetting. So we will do all we can not to cause upset and change things. Which would be all well and good IF

Women find removing reference to women or female body upsetting, get told don’t be silly girls it’s only a word there are far bigger problems in the world get over yourselves.

Same with Transwomen find idea using male toilets with male bodies threaten, it’s ok use whatever toilet you like.

Women, I find using toilets with male bodies threaten, don’t be silly it’s not an issue get over yourself.

Well no, it's not really like that is it.

Trans people have gender dysphoria, a medically recognised and inalienable discomfort - a profound discomfort - with being associated with one gender or another.

Women who get upset about a bit of plastic not being pink or not having "for women" written all over them is not the same thing, not even a little bit! It's absolutely the strangest, most ignorant thing I've ever heard that you think the two are comparable

[SoupDragon]

I don't give a shit about the sign. I do give a shit that they've changed it on the basis of a handful of complaints whereas they ignore all the complaints about the godawful stench.

Bodyform are far superior to Always though so one good thing came out of the stink for me.

[crankyassnoperope]

But Always do scented AND unscented liners

So you are saying that a profoundly deep mental health issue will be solved by removing a word or symbol?

[WotchaTalkinBoutWillis]

@TriJo I can honestly say that I have never given a single fuck about the wrappers on my pads. There could have been middle fingers on it the whole time and I wouldn't have noticed

Same
All the years I've been using them I've never once noticed what symbols are on the wrappers lol

[crankyassnoperope]

Surely you don't think that's what I'm saying? Are you on glue??

[PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind]

Um, I'm pretty sure what you just said is classed as 'transphobic' these days.

So why would they still be having periods?

I can't see any relation to what you have said to the packaging of sanitary products.

I have never noticed the venus symbol on my period towels. I don't care.
