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 thought that but unfortunately it’s not true. It’s not uncommon to use tampons as part of the validation.

Really common on Reddit too, to see stories from ‘girls’ about some lovely trans person who have them tampons in public toilets etc. Given the amount of trans people there are they must be really making the rounds hanging out in public toilets waiting to hand out tampons and pads.

If only it were possible to make these trans women feel the true experience of having periods. The bleeding for days, the occasional leaking, the cramps, the backache, the hormonal swings. They'd find 'being a girl' isn't the fun they think it is.

Presumably Dylan thinks that all women wear tampons and all women wear the same size tampon. He isn't a woman so has no idea about the multitude of different needs and options that biological women have and that bodies change as you grow,have children, get older etc. If he knew these things he would realise why the whole scene he has in his head of a woman asking for a tampon would never, ever happen.

I’ve never had a stranger ask for spare tampons etc, but work colleagues have. I always have stuff in my bag for myself and happy to share.

If someone in a public loo was stuck, and I had some I’d give it. But normally if in public, my default stance would be to just pop to boots or the supermarket. Isn’t that what everyone does?

But THEY DO have periods.
Honest Guv.
Just not the bleeding part, but everything else.
Because......hormones innit?
Cramping? You bet. In their.............oh wait...........

What is the huge attraction of a woman's toilet?

All my friends and me hate using public restrooms and always have, if I need to go, I try not to touch anything with bare skin and hover over the toilet and this was before I read the story of a wanking transwomen smearing their seamen everywhere.

I don't know any women that actually enjoy a public toilet.

Also never asked or been asked for a tampon, in over 35 years.

probably feeling more included by being part of the process

women have been penalised for centuries for having periods. Today many women still suffer in extreme pain, discomfort and period poverty due to periods. How nice for Dylan to get to be included in that, and if dylan is to be believed, also financially gain from that.

I’ve heard of many a cis-gendered male carrying sanitary products in their cars or bags, just in case one of their friends gets caught out…they always get talked about like heroes for their understanding.

Yeah.

Women are generally too socially conditioned to feel shame about tampons so don’t ask strangers. Also why is it ‘girlhood’ and not ‘women-hood’ on Dylan’s instagram? Who says ‘girlhood’ she’s a fully grown adult FFS.

but by having a tampon on hand she is .... probably feeling more included by being part of the process.

yes you nailed it there Hutchy. I agree that this is what is going on. I wonder why Dylan wants to be part of someone else's biological process?

In my 47 years of being a woman I’ve only ever been asked by friends or colleagues, never a random woman in a toilet.

Do some men think this is what goes on behind the doors? That we are all chummy and having great time?

Things that have happened to me in public toilets.
Women offering me tissues when there is no loo roll.
Women apologising for the loo not flushing.
Women moaning about the queue.

Things that have never happened.
Anyone asking me for a tampon,

Yes PriamFarrl, that IS what they think.

On the last thread someone (a woman) even said that their TW friend often complimented people on their clothes, shoes or lipstick shade whilst in the ladies bathrooms.
Because that's what happens, doesn't it?

Bollocks it does.

It's utterly ridiculous for men to carry tampons. When your periods first start you use pads or teeny tiny tampons. When your flow is more settled you use different sizes ,plus pads or just pads depending on how heavy things are and how long your cycle is . By the time I was perimenopausal my periods were horrendous. A teeny tiny tampon would have last 2 minutes if that. When I was 14 a heavy flow tampon would not have gone in. Its just ridiculous play acting. I cannot think of any situation where I would ask a man if he had any spare sanitary products . Its just bollocks

Never ever ever happens

When I first came across this Tik Tokker, I thought it was surely a parody. But by “Day 25 of Being A Girl”, I became convinced that Dylan’s for real. If he’s playing it for laughs, he will be torn limb from limb by all his fawning fans, if and when he comes clean.

Exactly 40 years of periods... I've never asked any other woman for a tampon. Let alone a complete stranger.

I suppose if they took mega doses of super strength laxatives for five days and tried to stem the “flow” by sticking tampons up their bum they would get a slight sense of what having a period can be like. Wouldn’t deal with mood swings though.

Who would ever ask a man if he had any sanitary protection, even if you were flooding? I would ask female friends or colleagues, or take myself off to the shop...but I really wouldn't even think of asking a male. Even my partner, who is utterly wonderful and understands womens issues, wouldn't wander about with a spare tampon in his pocket. He'd go to the shop for me, he'd buy any sort of pads or tampons I need (plus chocolate), but he doesn't carry them around with him. In fact, I just asked him what he thought of the idea, the words "thats proper fucking weird" were uttered.

You know, I don’t have anything to say in response to this.

my post was because of some vile and disgraceful transphobic comments on the page which have since been removed because they were shocking.

because they have been removed, I can completely understand how you can reply with such a stupid post. Have a nice day!

Also…perhaps you should Google the definition of sexist haha 🙈

The world will truly have disappeared up its own arse if a biological man is sponsored by a tampon company when biological women, who actually need these things, have had to pay extra tax on them because they were a 'luxury item' for years and years .

My response is due to some disgusting transphobic posts, they’ve been removed now so it is going to seem out of context.

the stories of men with sanitary products are regularly shown on quora, Facebook, boredpanda, you could name more…their legitimacy could be called into question but given that I said I’ve ‘heard’ not ‘I’ve known personally’ I think your comments are foolish.

anyway, my comments aren’t to the people who say they have never been asked, my comments are to the nasty trolls who were misgendering, name calling and more…but those comments have been removed and this is why my comments look harsh. They really weren’t if you had actually seen some of the shocking transphobic stuff that was being posted.

Christ, not this bollocks again
