What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

AIBU that this is the most ridiculous thing for a company to claim.

"Can a transgender woman have a period? Absolutely. Many trans and gender-diverse people menstruate. Whether you’re a woman, a man, non-binary or agender, your body may menstruate too."

They are basically encouraging men to buy their products so they can feel affirmation.

Yes.
It is turning a fundamental female bodily process into a fetish for men.

It’s funny that men imagine we women have conversations like this because never in all my menstruating years have I said anything like this to any other woman.

Yes I saw that too and honestly, I can't think anything more depraved.

I do not know why people are cheering this on.

it's really vague let's face it. Marketing to the deluded and the fetishists, without trying to offend their core base.

Indeed. And don't think that they aren't working on that.

Yeah he thought it would be like a powerful movement for tw civil rights.

Take THAT, Rosa Parks

@Ghostmartin Thank you for sharing so I didn’t have to go to their site.

So, as suspected, the inclusion of TIMs is all about validation and/or fetish. ‘Slip on some comfy period underwear’ 🤢

If the TIMs find their ‘periods’ hard going, they could very quickly and easily induce the ‘menopause’ by simply not taking oestrogen and progesterone 🙄
They don’t find the idea of the menopause very sexy though do they?

I’m so annoyed by this- I bought some Modibodi last month 😡

But it’s not a fetish. No, definitely not.

If a man in bleeding from his genitals or his bum he needs urgent medical attention, not overpriced pants and affirmation.

"Inclusivity" innit

They failed. We ARE offended!

The same David Lammy who though that the next monarch after the death of Henry VIII was...Henry VII and Marie Antoinette won a physics Novel Peace prize!

This kind of absolute shite is one reason why I stopped buying Modibodi products. The other reason was that it was shit and fell apart quickly. But even if it had been brilliant, I'm not giving my money to these insane tosspots.

You have to wonder why they employ copywriters, when they could just empty the contents of the kitchen drawer over the keyboard and hope some of it lands.

Lunatics.

Anyway, supermarket period pants are cheaper and more comfortable.

So they acknowledge there is no bleeding.....

"Many trans women have periods. Some trans women don’t have uteruses, so they won’t bleed as part of a monthly menstrual cycle".

But then under tips it says:

"period underwear can help you feel comfortable, affirmed and empowered throughout your cycle."

So the only reason for the period pants is affirmation which as we know, for the penis people who would even contemplate using period pants its 'affirmation of fetish'.

I was finding it quite funny at first but having typed this, it now seems to me that
they just want to expand into the fetish market at the expense of the dignity of girls and women and now I think of it that way, its just a creepy, icky, gross sales tactic.

Totally this @MattDillonsEyebrows

At first, things like this do seem sort of amusing and stupid. Then we realise what's actually driving it.

Yes, exactly. There is something really icky about that text and I have just realised why.

My only question back is it evri or royal male who deliver it?

Is this the 'my cross hormones are giving me the runs so I'm saying that I have period cramps ' that I've seen on Twitter?

How is this violent?
I honestly don't understand? 😕

Can someone please clarify?

Does it breach advertising guidelines do we think? Is it worth a complaint to the advertising standards?

Reminds me of that total freak who should not be allowed within 100 miles of any child man who said he could breastfeed his baby with the chemical concoction he squeezed from his nipples [vom-tastic]

They're quite literally full of shit.

It’s a blog on their site.

Is this our current deputy Prime Minister?
