There was a thread about this but MNHQ took it down as the reports were unconfirmed.

If it’s true they have not been “forced” to do anything - they have chosen to.

Ahh, I didnt see the previous thread unfortunately.

I don't understand why transwomen wouldn't be able to identify with a feminine Venus logo, in the same way as any other women.

Well I'm guessing it's confirmed now if it's in the papers.

It's the transmen who weren't taking testosterone and therefore still having periods who complained.

Always confirm it at the bottom of the article.

I was wondering where the other thread went!

Thats very strange

Loads of stuff is unconfirmed

Every fucking MIL or parking thread for a start

Ah, I see - that makes more sense, Twatticus.

World’s gone fucking insane.

Another one easy to avoid along with Flora.

FFS

I started the previous thread and have had no email telling me why it was removed. I saw on Twitter (from a source I trust) that P&G had confirmed the letter was real. Perhaps the mods would do me the courtesy of actually telling me why the thread hasn’t been reinstated?
Lots of stuff on this site is ‘unconfirmed’.

Yes because I imagine that the most triggering part of having a period is not the bleeding or the cramping or having to carry towels/tampons and use them on a very frequent basis

Its the picture on the packet

They can rebrand as 'Never' because that's how often I'll buy these.

Cretins.

I’ve just heard a radio for Tenna Man. For men. Men men men men men men men.

Won’t someone please think of the trans women?

Always haven’t answered my DM or emails - I just asked if the rumours were true (and asked if they were thinking about doing an I scented version and most women really don’t like it).

Crickets. Dammit I should have signed off ‘Dave’.

I'm amazed that I never realised that sign was called a "Venus logo"..

What's the male one called?

...(sits back and waits for amusing, creative replies.)

I'm beginning to wonder if everything that is obviously for women will soon be targeted for change for trivial reasons.

No one really cares that it has changed but it's the reasons behind the change and how women have been asking for scent less towels and have been ignored.

I work in a nursery and everything is going gender neutral from the baby room up.

We had to throw away our princess dress up and have been told we are not allowed to say good boy or good girl.

We are getting books about trans disguised as childrens books for example we were reading a fairy tale book about a knight and at the end he decided he wants to be a women. All the children were confused, it didn't even make sense in the plot of the book.

All the staff toilets have gone gender neutral which we haven't really noticed yet as only one man works here. But most people have subconsciously started using the disabled toilet as it is a single toilet so I'm guessing that might be the case in other work places also.

We are a Stonewall approved school. But it only seems to be about promoting trans rights.
Disguised as not stereotyping and let kids be kids but that only seems to be if children want to reject typically girly stuff.

Anus? I’m guessing Mars here...

Ridiculous.

Penus presumably.

Should MNHQ reinstate the other thread now? I suppose it's only the Mail though does it have to be on the BBC first?

If Always are now only targetting their product specifically for men then women and girls should stop using them.

I’m bloody furious.
I’ve used Always products from when they first launch.
I’m done

You can't google a symbol can you?

Anus! Priceless!
