Never posted on this board before, but nervous, but I’m furious.
Just bought some towels from Superdrug and the first line on the back of the packet is ‘A person who menstruates..’ I’m a woman ffs!
I shop in Superdrug all the time for their cruelty free stuff but no more!

Or is it only words which erase women which don't matter

Bingo.

They cant have it so they want to get rid of it as if they cant have if no one can.

Transmen can't inherit Titles or join the freemasons. BUT men who transition can. So they quite happy to retain the male privilege when it suits them.

Nope - Mens incontenance pants are all black packs with MEN stamped all over them.

So these should be labelled 'for people with penises'?

midgebabe · 18/06/2020 19:53

Yeah, we have a constructive solution that seems to make more people happy that the previous alternatives .

Thisismytimetoshine · 18/06/2020 19:54

They can choose to be whatever they wish to be
They can choose to CALL THEMSELVES whatever they wish to be, certainly. That's as far as it goes.

SarahTancredi · 18/06/2020 19:54

Also men who transition can compete In womens sports.

Women who transition play on the womens sports.

Women either play males or play women doped on testosterone. Again fucked over both ways. For people they claim women
dont exist they know exactly who to fuck over

Oh...is this for the benefit of women who have transitioned but still menstruate? Is that who it is aimed at.

As an aside, more than 400? Feels like 4000 already.

ChickenNuggetsChipsAndBeans · 18/06/2020 19:57

The thing is that I have never seen condoms being advertised for ejaculators. Or electric shavers advertised for beard owners.

It is only the word woman that is being lost and this is inherently misogynistic.

Eo91 · 18/06/2020 20:01

@Inkpaperstars

It's more for people waiting to transition/starting to transition than for the majority of transmen. When we start testosterone we don't tend to need period products for long.

So really it's more for teens/people on Gender Clinic waiting lists.

Yes

Blibbyblobby · 18/06/2020 20:02

You’re saying trans women are a threat because they're biologically men, right?

Most biological males aren’t a threat. But a few are. And most annoyingly, despite it being the obvious best way to identify them, they won’t step up and declare themselves. Very unsporting.

So, given the lack of the dangerous men to do the decent thing an carry a warning sign, in certain situations we choose to exclude all men just in case one of them is a bad’un.

It’s very unfair to the vast majority of males who are lovely* but that’s the way it has to be because there is that small but real proportion of dangerous men hidden between the lovely ones.

So the question is, are self-declared transwomen less of a threat than other biological men such that they can be exempt from the restrictions that apply to all the other lovely men? If so, why?

  • (ok, maybe a bit un-lovely in some ways due to their male socialised entitlement but that’s something society as a whole needs to work on)
midgebabe · 18/06/2020 20:03

And electric shavers in particular to be advertised to all given that many women have beards and get very sensitive about that fact, probably due to bullying coupled with a lack of general awareness that other have the same thing

Oh dear.... that will be a woman then, a biological woman.

Some of these lobby groups must have so much money and time and influence that even national chains bow down to their wording .... I am NOT a person who menstruates - I am a woman!

way to go ....

They need to really look at how the package hair dye then too.

Imagine all the poor brunettes being triggered by having to buy ‘ash blonde 142’ and being reminded that they are not a natural blonde.

yakkad · 18/06/2020 20:11

It's really nothing to be furious about.

You are a person, who is genetically female and identifies as a woman.
No one is saying you are not a woman.

Another person may menstruate but identify as a man.
It doesn't take anything away from you, but might make that person feel better. Sheesh. If this is your biggest problem in life you are doing alright. Go take a walk and get some fresh air.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 18/06/2020 20:12

Has anybody else seen that grossly offensive trailer for ITV in which Trevor McDonald proclaims that "We are changed by what we see" - with the crystal clear message being that watching television educates, enlightens and informs us, thus greatly enriching our lives?

I wonder if they've had a load of bitter complaints from blind people that the advert is effectively calling them stupid, ignorant and ill-informed, on the basis that their eyes don't see anything.

Or do they just accept that it's addressing the vast majority and intends no sleight or criticism of those who don't technically fit into their description - and just get on with their lives?

MorganKitten · 18/06/2020 20:13

A trans man who hasn’t had the final stages of treatment still get periods.
Gender fluid people get periods.
Gender neutral people get periods.

Its not hurting you in anyway.

IcedPurple · 18/06/2020 20:13

I think you mean a woman.

FlamingoAndJohn · 18/06/2020 20:17

On these boards, it's always that people say they have issues with safety from trans women, this is what bothers them.

No. That is wilful miss-understanding.

It is because there are men who will claim to be trans just to access female only spaces. And don’t pretend it won’t happen. Remember the number of men who spent years training as clergy, teachers, scout leaders just to access vulnerable women and children. Now they can hide in plain sight.

yakkad · 18/06/2020 20:18

Honestly, most of you need to have a bloody (no pun intended) cup of tea and sit down.

Blibbyblobby · 18/06/2020 20:18

No one is saying you are not a woman.

Yes they are. If the meaning of woman is changed to be a set that includes males, it no longer describes what I am.

Thisismytimetoshine · 18/06/2020 20:20

A trans man who hasn’t had the final stages of treatment still get periods.
Gender fluid people get periods.
Gender neutral people get periods.
What's the common denominator here?
They're all biological women.

yakkad · 18/06/2020 20:20

@IcedPurple I think you don't know as much about gender as you think you do :)
