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".

@MarieIVanArkleStinks

Yes, this is a fetish. AGP is particularly unpleasant, especially the variety that gets its kicks from making women uncomfortable. You should have a read around what was happening a short while ago with the review pages of M&S's lingerie section. Quite why that particular store should have chosen to facilitate this behaviour even when challenged (the story made the national news) is a question several members of FWR have written to ask them. Needless to say they only receive a flannelling in response ...
M&S is going very soon. Thank God for that

@theblackparade

You all look ridiculous for believing that this is actually a real thing. No wonder MN has such a bad reputation for being full of backwards bigots.
What an eloquent argument!
TheChampagneGalop · 23/10/2020 23:09

No one believes it's a real product. However tampon and sissy fetish are real things. HTH

GoldfishParade · 23/10/2020 23:09

What's AGP?

I've got my doubts about the motives behind this leaflet, but there definitely are men out there who get off on this. Please don't ask me how I know.
Swallowzandamazons · 23/10/2020 23:14

It's not a bad idea, actually. After a curry, my OH could certainly do with something containing the odours....

Gingerkittykat · 23/10/2020 23:15

Placing foreign objects anally is a bad idea since they can get stuck. Sex toys have a flared base to stop them going whoosh, a tampon doesn't have that.

Swallowzandamazons · 23/10/2020 23:17

I dunno. One mega fart from OH and it'd turn into a projectile missile...

ps I'm joking.

Spend enough time on the internet and you will discover an array of fetishes which you would not think existed, it is naive to assume this is made up.
KnightsofColumbusThatHurt · 23/10/2020 23:24

I'm pretty sure this is a hoax - it mentions 'for boys' and 'him/he/his', 'male vagina' - if this were real it would never have those words associated with a transwoman.

However, I know for a fact that there is a huge fetish around this kind of stuff

Angryresister · 23/10/2020 23:35

AGP =autogynyphilia,. Which is a fetish where men get off on the idea of themselves as women. Which we are not allowed to refer to on the other board but can do here it seems. Many trans identifying men can have this .

VestaTilley · 23/10/2020 23:47

It’s just awful. Really hope it’s not actually from Tampax.

DiWoo · 23/10/2020 23:58

@Arthersleep

It could be deliberate to wind up women. Or people could be poking fun at themselves. Or just fake to stir up hatred against the trans community. Or it could be genuine fetishism. It's clearly not genuine trans though as a trans male to female wouldn't want to stick it up their arse any more than a woman would. Either way though, if it is genuine fetishism, then each to their own. My feeling is that it's a joke though.
Lots of men and and women stick all sorts of things up their arse!

@VestaTilley is asking if it’s really from Tampax so... Grin

Yes, I know that there are creepy people in the world. I also know that there’s a bizarre theory, peddled endlessly on here, that trans women are actually predatory men intent on indoctrinating us all. When, actually, they’re just women shrug

DiWoo · 24/10/2020 00:06

So you don't think that any men would go as far as pretending to be trans to fuck women over?

StandWitch · 24/10/2020 06:19

I've got my doubts about the motives behind this leaflet, but there definitely are men out there who get off on this. Please don't ask me how I know.

why don't people read threads before posting. It's been on a sissy fetish site for 18 years. there are no doubts at all about the motives of people behind this leaflet, it's for people who have sissy fetishes and it uses the exact language of that fetish, which is very close to a lot of the language used today by certain people identifying as transgender, and indeed some people with sissy fetishes are transgender.

NeurotrashWarrior · 24/10/2020 07:57

Thank you standwitch for going where many of us would prefer not to.

So It's not by tampax but from a fetish site.

Envy < not envy.

@StormTreader

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".
You have obviously not spent any time reading comments on the boards supporting this fetish. If you did, you would know exactly how this has the potential to harm women. Do you think stalking a fellow female employee’s (or any female) cycle is ok in anyway?

This crosses over to males talking to teenage girls online (either honest about being male or pretending to be female) about their periods. But this is ok for you?

I have come across a group of young girls discussing bloodplay laden porn.... what girls discuss sex in this way without either encountering these males online encouraging them, or making these fantasies easily accessible for curious teens... again, is this still ok in your opinion?

So, in your opinion exactly who benefits from shutting down discussion about this particular fetish?

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 24/10/2020 09:00

To me, it looks like someone, a man I'm guessing, has written it as a parody of a real tampax instruction leaflet, in an attempt to take the piss out of transmales.

Winesalot · 24/10/2020 09:04

Did you read the thread? It could be done to humiliate a trans person. It is more likely done for the fetishists though. There are sissy fetish sites out there. (Note: some sissy fetishists are male, some are transwomen).

StandWitch · 24/10/2020 09:06

jesus it would be so easy if people read threads before posting. it's a sissy fetish thing, not intended to take the piss out of anyone.

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 24/10/2020 09:57

Twas a childish joke in reply to a childish post Grin

This is actually a thing....that males do, what those males may or may not identify as is completely different and i wouldn't presume to assume

You'd be surprised how often A and E staff come across this kind of thing. Inappropriate placing of foreign objects in the rectum. I heard of a nurse working in the emergency department who saw all sorts of things "up there" and found it hard to control her giggles
TheChampagneGalop · 24/10/2020 10:27

Standwitch I would say it takes the piss out of actually menstruating women though. Sissyfication is misogynistic.

Lemonpizza I know it happens accidentally to some but I hope it isn't part of someone's fetish to go get those objects fished out by nurses.
