What are young women and older children going to think when they see these images...? Why not use images of art or nature if you want to be gender neutral? I suppose the marketing company thought they wanted to appeal to all possibilities but obviously to hell with women and what they might think.

Two of my friends stopped testosterone once they had the changes they wanted (voice, facial hair)

For the sake of all the young women being mugged by this ideology I hope this is an increasingly popular option.

Thanks for clarifying @Ohthatsabitshit it would be miles out if there weren’t specifying women. 🤣
I can’t believe we even have to check this 🤣

i'm more bothered by the fact their products are awful and the most uncomfortable briefs ever

@paperflowers55 - the waist elastic is certainly quite… robust? I only get the shorts style so I can’t comment on the briefs - I don’t really have anything to compare them to period pants wise: Thinx Teens ones smelled so chemically even after repeated washes I didn’t dare wear them which turns out to have been a good thing & the UniQlo ones have never been in stock when I’ve looked 🫤

Thinx settled a lawsuit over chemicals in its period underwear. Here's what to know

The lawsuit says Thinx underwear, long marketed as safe and sustainable, contains harmful chemical substances known as PFAS. The company denies those allegations but will pay up to $5 million.

Thank you @ResisterRex for articulating so well what was unsettling me.

I meant this one. I think I am with you on this.

Some years ago I saw someone estimate that roughly fifty percent of women going on testosterone for transitioning purposes stop menstruating altogether, and the recommendation seemed then to be that hysterectomy was recommended by year six after transitioning, due to the health risks testosterone causes. But the context was not a medical article, and I have never seen anything more about this question, though I have seen several trans men state that they no longer menstruate after hormone treatment began.

This suggests that the population of menstruating trans men might be less than one half of all trans men in the relevant age groups?

But then we of course also have all those who are female but identify as nonbinary, and some in that group might take smaller amounts of testosterone which might not affect their periods but cause voice changes etc?
