Fashion YouTuber discussing her discomfort with Trans women promoting tampons

[CharlotteSometimes1]

I haven’t seen a thread highlighting this, but it was posted on YT a week ago so maybe I’ve missed it.

Frederique Bros is a fashion YouTuber with 223 thousand subscribers and she posted a video talking about trans women and NB people promoting tampons. She’s making no bones about thinking it’s wrong and the comments are largely in agreement.

This isn’t a political pundit, or activist but a woman speaking out in the mainstream. I never thought I’d see the day, so thought you might like to see too.

These men are grim with their obsession about women and our periods. Well done her for calling this out - if ever there's a week for educating the public about the extent of gaslighting of women by creepy men, this is it!

Good on her ! Sick of creeps treating menstruation as a fetish.

And you'll notice it isn't ever about pads, is it?

Always tampons.

I wonder why.

Good point!

@Chersfrozenface thats a very good point. Also I wonder whether tamax would pay a man (non trans for the sake of clarification) to be an ally of women and say how he always has tampons to hand for his female friends?

@CharlotteSometimes1 Thanks for posting this. I’ve watched some YouTube videos by her before but strangely YouTube haven’t ‘suggested’ this one to me.

Very good point on it always being about tampons. That sickening little chap on tiktok squealing 'eeww like where do I even put this thing' gives me the rage. Many responses saying 'up a vagina, which you don't have'.

Ugh, she's right, 'no darling you're not a woman'

Last guy just looked like a 13 year old messing about with tampons being an idiot like they do

I've got to say the young lad doing the unboxing video of a packet of tampax pearl was actually really funny.

The first two 🤐

Although I'm not sure if he was trying to be

No sanpro manufacturer will damage their brand by association with anyone who describes periods as "gross, disgusting".

Yet again, fetishists give away their core agenda is misogyny, degrading and insulting real women.

I really like her! And her accent is so charming.

Jeffrey Marsh though. How can someone so hammily villainous actually be a real person? He’s like a baddie in a children’s movie. Thank goodness for her reactions, I couldn’t have borne even that short clip of him if it weren’t for the faces she was pulling.

I would love a man to have to go through the cramps the upset stomachs dizziness nausea headaches mood swings general feeling of being dirty women have to go through every bloody month if not using contraception and these assholes think it’s something they can just lie about for their own creepy weird fetishes

I've never known anyone describing periods as gross and disgusting and I would never ever use that language around my teen and ore teen daughters. How dare he lecture is?

I stopped buying Tampax as a result of the Dylan shite and the awful, awful twitter stuff. It was hard because I struggled to find super plus in other brands. Luckily I'm now the proud owner of an iud and can manage with period pants. Will never buy them for my girls ever now.

Me too, she's great! I want her as a chic friend! I love that top and the touched waist too (am hopeless with clothes but I can aspire).

She'd so cool! And I love how she gets her point across while kinda laughing at the absurdity, "I'd know you were a man straightaway."

It’s good, but she only partly gets it. I don’t think she understands quite how much Dylan is taking the piss, and that he’s a fetishist. Women don’t get giddily excited waving tampons at the camera like that. He’s laughing in our faces, while a legion of young women fawn over him.
She talks about having no problem with the people who transition to be a “full woman”, which isn’t possible.

The clothes washing & cleaning products are annoying as I do (did) use them but switching to eco products now

I'm finding it difficult to decide which man is the more nauseating: the one with the jolly hockey sticks smile; or the one with the faux
empathy for the stigmatised.

It's only ever tampons, not pads etc, because many men think that anything being inserted into a vagina must immediately turn women on.

It's a sex thing, like always with the fetishists.

According to one of our number and spoken about in one of their youtube vids, they are used in the other orifice!
As a result of this, the terf in question, recommends carrying tabasco, or chilli sauce in your handbag and adding a liberal dash to the bin in the ladies loos.
Obviously, i am not asking, or encouraging anyone to do that, i'm just saying what was said in the video.

I don't know that it's about women beng turned on. I doubt whether they consider women's feelings at all.

It's a matter of the men getting turned on by the idea of anything being inserted into a vagina.

Reminds me of the Candian tampon fetishist who spends an enormous amount of time fantasizing about helping young girls insert tampons.

It reminds me of a thread a couple of years ago I think, where a poster asked if anyone had ever been asked for a tampon in a public toilet.

Not one woman had, well maybe a couple of dodgy posters said they had, but I think they also commented on the woman's lipstick or something. Anyway it was definitely something that never happened.

As women we know exactly what we do when we're caught out unexpectedly and it ain't asking a randomer for one! Which I'm not sharing here, because we know right? As women!

It's probably as common as pillow fights in our negligees!
