Transwoman claims Tampax have offered sponsorship

[DomesticatedZombie]

Dylan, currently on 'Day 47 of being a girl' claims Tampax have been in touch.

Why?

'Dylan was using a public restroom when a fellow woman called out if she had a tampon, Dylan shyly replying ‘no’.
Afterwards, she decided to buy some to keep in the house and in her purse for all her girlfriends, ending the video with “women support women.” It seemed that Tampax were quite interested in working with Dylan afterwards. What an incredible outcome!'

I've just watched a bit of that video and there's an absolute giveaway that this person is not a woman. Who the hell puts eye cream on with their forefinger? That's just wrong. Ring finger, Dylan, ring finger. For reasons

Yes it certainly is.

Fuck off Dylan we can manage ourselves we don’t need males fixating on OUR periods

That was the give away?

Found this on aforum about why do transwomen pretend they gave periods. It would be laughable if it wasn't so annoying, especially the comments about biology and womanhood
"I mean trans women can't menustrate but they can have hormonal cycles, cramping, mood swings, and other PMS symptoms. Obviously, if you don't have a uterus then you won't bleed but the body reacts to hormones at a certain level accordingly regardless if a uterus is involved or not. Uterus shed the lining but other period symptoms come from hormones. Trans women who experience these symptoms are doing so because of their hormonal makeup. That's just biology.
They mentioned trans men and balls. Trans men I know who've had scrotoplasty do squeeze their balls. I think people forget that medical transition is a thing that alters the body.
Posting bloody underwear is weird to me in general. I think womanhood should not be linked to periods or at least periods shouldn't be a prominent part of womanhood."

The reply is even more deluded
"yeah that is how I feel about it myself. I don't have a uterus, don't want one, and don't think it makes my womanhood invalid. I understand why someone would though, seeing how much we are pressured to be just like ciswomen."

Who exactly is pressuring them to be just like females? It's their decision to announce to the world's that they gave changed gender.

I think womanhood should not be linked to periods or at least periods shouldn't be a prominent part of womanhood."

Spoken by someone who definitely hasn't spent 5-7 days of each month of their adult life dealing with the fact their body inconveniently bleeds; pre-menstrual syndrome; period pain; endometriosis; the apprehension about missing a period; the apprehension when pregnant about getting a period; menopausal symptoms.

Periods are, for most women, very fucking inextricably bloody linked to womanhood and anyone who's never had one can FRO with their sniffy dismissal of women's experiences.

I do actually know men who carry san-pro in their kit.
They don't have them for helping women out though & would be shocked to be asked.
Preppers repurpose anything & everything.

To me it looks like they are in some competition to prove that men make better women than women do. They cut out all the icky and inconvenient stuff, like the truth about periods, child care, poor pay and working conditions etc and concentrate on the friperies such as dresses, hairdos and ooh, I feel so feminine. I love the argument that it is wrong to reduce womanhood to a discussion about genitals but its perfectly okay to reduce it to I like pink and in Dylans case, enjoy dressing like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, so I am obviously a woman.

"I think womanhood should not be linked to periods or at least periods shouldn't be a prominent part of womanhood."

I think most girls & women would prefer that periods weren't so prominent in their lives, but they are. It's called reality.

I'd like not to be defined by my periods but they do take up a lot of headspace.
When will I start?
What if I don't?
What if I come on in school?
What if the boys see one of my ginormous 90s sanitary pads?
What if I'm on my period when I'm meeting x for sex?
Am I late? Am I pregnant? Shit.
When do I ovulate?
Am I late? Am i pregnant? Yes!
When will my periods get back to normal?
Hmm, periods seem odd. Is it serious? Is this the beginning of menopause?
I wonder when dd will start hers?

So roughly 34 years thinking about periods, so far.

A few years ago I was on a bush craft forum and members were talking about kit. Someone listed their stuff and mentioned they carried tampons and I, thinking the way I do, thought 'That's nice' and said so. Instant howling mockery from all the men. I never went back.

If it was about helping women they wouldn't carry tampons they'd carry the big sanitary pads with wings. Because a lot of women can't use tampons. Anyone who knows anything about any real women knows this fact.

So it reveals itself very clearly for what it is which is male-centric navel gazing (and possibly other things I probably can't mention) and using women as unconsenting props in their own delusions.

I am still finding this quite upsetting. Not only Dylans offensive stereotypes about women that are apparently completely unironic, but the way women are cheering him on as well. Like, wake up, he is not interested in 'supporting women', he is using you as a prop to validate his own 'womanhood'. You are nothing more than support humans in the fantasy, you are there to do things like 'ask for a tampon' so that he feels more like a woman when he can provide one.

This is true in so many other cases, too. Women are expected to be the appreciative audience for validation purposes in lots of areas: toilets, changing rooms, prisons, refuges, sports, even feminism.

Otherwise our feelings do not matter, because - as you wrote - we are seen as emotional support humans. This might explain the immense rage I see online directed against any woman who rebels against that role. It's like a service dog turning and biting its owner.

It also immensely bothers me how is women are seen as transphobic for not applauding Dylan for these actions. We’re women, we’ve grown up being told “don’t talk to strangers” from a few years old, then it was “don’t walk home alone” to “don’t wear skimpy clothing” and “never leave your drink unattended”. So really, why the fuck would anyone accept a tampon from some sheer random man? You have no idea who they are as a person. There are plenty of fucked up people in the world that could have tampered with it and done god knows what.

Remember that man from a few years ago who went around knowingly infecting people with HIV? Shit like this actually happens.

But no, none of that matters. Just as long as we don’t upset Dylan’s feelings and make sure they feel included like it’s story time in primary school.

Fuck off.

As an aside, today I saw elsewhere online someone writing that passing as a trans woman is shown if men ask for your number and if women ask you for tampons.

Perhaps this is seen as a rite of passage type of validation?

So maybe asking for tampons will now be viewed as an act of allyship.

From ‘Ask me about my pronouns’ to ‘Ask me about my tampons’?

You would have to be beyond naiive not to be highly suspicious of motive and wtaf has happened to that tampon.

We've all seen the one handed social media posts about wanking in M&S cubicles on the floor and hoping some woman walks in it with her shoes off, who wank on lingerie and put it back on the peg for women to try on later, and the ones who wank on toilet paper in women's toilets in the hope they use it, the ones who pull wet tampons out of the sanitary bin to insert up their bums....

<shudder>

He only has to give one tampon away, and then he has space for a tube of lipstick!

"I think womanhood should not be linked to periods or at least periods shouldn't be a prominent part of womanhood."

• *Oh do you? That's nice dear....

As the song says ‘only women bleed’.

Gross. These creepy “ Dylans” have a deeply unhealthy obsession with sanpro.
If Tampax supports or pays this man, It will be an utter FARCE.

I wish I’d not read this.
Revolting behaviour.
Boak.
Ay Gee Pee.

Me too. I can't remember the last time I cried.

And in all the years of periods, if I got caught out without a tampon, I did what I imagine every other woman does and rammed a wodge of toilet paper in my knickers until I could sort myself out later. I certainly never asked another woman (or man for that matter) for a spare Tampax and I have never been asked either.

What is it with these men and their obsession with period products?

I think we all know, really, just not allowed to say.
