Please, someone tell me this is a hoax:

twitter.com/tramisogyny/status/1319366664496971777?s=19

I can't find anything on Google search to tell me it's fake - what's going on here? Lots in the comments section about it being a "fetish".

Presumably they’re for trans men? Trans men still sometimes have periods depending on whether they have had surgery or take hormones etc. A few have talked about the stigma of using tampons etc as a trans man and how it triggers their body dysmorphia.

Kenny Ethan Jones has spoken pretty eloquently about this and his experiences as a trans man generally, it’s worth seeing what he says about it.

I'm hoping it's a joke too, or some kind of fetish fantasy, because apart from entirely the wrong oriface, the technique is also completely wrong and there will be a lot of very dry fetishistic bums out there.

I don't think you clicked the link.

I think we should mention, casually, that the more of them he stuffs in there, and the longer he leaves them, the more orgasmic it becomes. Let's not mention infections.

VenusTiger · 23/10/2020 19:47

It's trivialising periods - trans w will never know how it feels, hormones, PMT, aches, cramps, headaches, worrying - ttc and getting your period late!!!! They have "no right" to trivialise it as somekind of delight oooh lovely soft thick panty liners are so comfortable and feminine - no, they can F right off. I have zero issues with trans ppl, but fetishing a period FFS! It's got to stop.

Be an awful shame if women started sprinkling a bit of chilli pepper on their tampons/pads, before they put them in the bin, especially if they know of any one with that perversion in there area. 😁

TheChampagneGalop · 23/10/2020 19:55

Male pervs fetishise just about everything, especially things related to women's clothing and bodily functions. Never be naive about that. I know a fashion forum which has a big problem with men who keep starting threads about stockings and wanting to see photos.
And yes, google Jonathan Yaniv.

TheyreComingToGetYouBarbara · 23/10/2020 19:55

Ugh... Where's my vomit-face emoji...

Not all women use tampons/pads. Women past the age of menstruation. Women who for medical reasons don't menstruate. They're still women.

Why in the world would anyone prefer wearing a tampon in their anus to simply admitting to themselves that they don't need tampons, because their bodies don't menstruate?! Utterly bizarre and disturbing.

StormTreader · 23/10/2020 20:02

Surely this is one out of a million things that people should be free to do in private without other people chatting away about how disgusting they find it? Seems like it falls under "don't police other peoples bodies".

TheyreComingToGetYouBarbara · 23/10/2020 20:05

It can't be that private if it's posted online. And sorry, but it is gross. As are so many fetishes. That's part of the appeal, I'd guess. It's "forbidden" and/or disgusting to the masses.

underneaththeash · 23/10/2020 20:07

Eh? Must be satire.
Although didn’t female condoms exist at some point?

Are you for real? They’re using women’s menstrual blood without their knowledge or permission as a tool in a fetish and you think we have no right to talk about that? I could help my disabled daughter change her sanitary pad, put it in her bin and be quite happy for a pervert to then enter that FEMALE space and use her pad and the blood out of HER body, for him to get horny over. That takes fucking twisted thinking, to think that’s ok.

What has a female means of contraception got to do with men’s perverse use of female blood? Keep that in mind. It’s not a clean tampon that they’ve bought and shoved up their arse. It’s your daughter’s, mother’s, sister’s blood that is turning them on.

This thread isn’t about genuine trans people, but about the perversion of those men who pretend to be trans to access female spaces. Why do certain posters want us to stop talking about that?
Kinkybutkind · 23/10/2020 20:30

The originals - the white writing on black pages - are absolutely taken from a certain kink and fetish website and were originally posted by a person who identifies as transgender. They aren’t photoshopped but they are a screen grab and been shared on more vanilla social media....

TheChampagneGalop · 23/10/2020 20:31

Indeed boaty.

yourhairiswinterfire · 23/10/2020 20:31

It's not real as in that's not genuinely from the company Tampax, but it is a real fetish.

I’m assuming it must be a joke - look at the image of the ‘male vagina’ and talk of ‘male labia’ (is that bum flaps?

Yeah, the male vagina does sound like a joke, and that picture may be taking the piss, but vaginas are male now, as is the female penis, and if we don't suspend our disbelief and accept this, we're raging bigots who need to educate ourselves by reading up on it. Not biology books though, they don't count anymore. We have to be re-educated by opinion blogs on Medium written by DJ's and computer programmers, explaining to us how science has actually been wrong this whole time.

Welcome to 2020 🙃

@DeliciouslyFemale I don't know - just being obtuse for the sake of it - maybe they're bored. When perverse fetishes effect other people, it has to be stopped imo.

@FredaFrogspawn

That wasn’t made by a transwoman - it wouldn’t be aimed at ‘boys’ if it were, but ‘girls’. It’s clearly made to try to rake up anti-trans feeling. Whatever your views are on the whole debate, shit like this doesn’t help anyone.
Yes indeed. If you look further down the thread, someone has been investigating.

"Oh god, here we go again. I did search the picture, and I didn' t found any source except for a MEME SITE. So, it's a fake picture. So, the information about this male, identified as a trans person, is fake too. So, it's just a post to say hideous things of trans people ...

It’s not boredom. They just don’t like women talking about what will happen if we accept ALL males that claim to have the ‘right’ to access female spaces. I would sooner use a male space, than a female space that becomes mixed sex. The reason being, most men who believe that women have the right to feelings of dignity, privacy and safety, won’t be in the mixed sex. They’re the men I’d feel safer with.
