National Trust & tampons

[oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends]

NT have made free tampons available in the gents' toilets in a castle in the Lake District. Not unisex toilets, but actual gents.

Not just any tampons, but vegan tampons (WTF are they?).
And they're also available in the ladies.

YABU They are demonstrating what a kind, caring organisation they are, & covering their arses.

YANBU They are bonkers, tossers... add your own words.

Then why click on the thread to just post such nonsense??

who should be in the women’s toilet or a unisex one. Not the men’s

Oh xpost.

Really? It's law that a trans man has to be in the women's loo?

Is it law that men in a dress have to use the gents then?

Hard to believe this has any impact on your life?

Who would use the men’s toilets - women who have transitioned to men or men who have transitioned to women?

Men who are now transwomen use the gents. Because they're still men.
And men don't need tampons.

Transmen (who are women) would use the ladies.

Have you been asleep for the last 6 months?

Yes!

Madness, I’d rather our local one focused on keeping the toilets stocked with actual toilet roll than unnecessary tampons in the mens

The real horror story here is that tampons are tested on animals. Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and baboons to be precise. Bacteria laced tampons are inserted into their vaginas and in the case of rabbits into the skin on their neck.

Only the Telegraph are reporting the National Trust story.

yes.
😊

no seriously i didn't teise that it was actually law that trans women weren't allowed into women's loos.

Good!

It's a bit odd but I really don't see how this is hurting anyone. It's certainly not something I'd be up in arms about.

Nose bleeds 😂

Hope they’re putting adverts asking for donations aswell about period poverty

Some men like shoving up their arses?

It was reported in the Telegraph today.

Small matter of a supreme court ruling that says women who think they're men shouldn't be in the mens loo anymore than men who think they're women should be in the ladies. But a lovely bit of virtue signalling NT.

Honestly more troubled by the animal testing than any of this other shite. Tampons in the men's. So what?

Well this is what I thought, but this thread (and my head cold!) were making me doubt myself!

What on earth is the point of this then, other than the ‘a dad might want to get one for his daughter’, which seems possible, but unlikely. Or the lady mentioned above who is very butch and prefers men’s toilets - again, probably not representative of many people.

Apart from that lady - surely nobody who needs tampons should be in the men’s toilets.

I get the ‘it’s not doing any harm’ - it just seems a strange thing to bother doing.

But trans men can ? Genuine question - would they use the mens or womens toilets ?

Such a poor argument. If it helps one single person, it will have been a complete waste of National Trust money.

Apart from that lady - surely nobody who needs tampons should be in the men’s toilets.

Quite right. Nobody at all.

Exactly what I thought - thank you. This thread was making me question it.

Don't be so pompous!

Scrolling on Mumsnet is definitely unimportant (though entertaining).
Why don't you toddle off and do something "important" and leave the rest of us to enjoy this thread.

Virtue signalling, they’ve only started leaving them recently when “men” needed them, I bet they weren’t in the ladies in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Utter tosh.
