Is this going too far? Always removes Venus symbol to acknowledge transmen who menstruate

This.

This goes back to a pp who noted she’s more irked by schools canceling Halloween—out of deference to a small percentage of people who don’t celebrate.

Setting the always packaging aside, I think the concern is what else will change to appease a tiny minority? And, is it overkill? Is it necessary? Appropriate?

Sometimes it’s truly NBD. Other times, maybe it is a big deal.

The “concern” over a small packaging change reeks of RWNJ fearmongering.

And the blind acceptance and dare I say high fiving over changing something for an extreme minority reeks of virtue signaling and far left lunacy.

I guess I’m a grown up so I can handle hearing views that differ from mine.

This is it right here. I posted a comment earlier that got deleted but had the same gist. If you don’t embrace all of this PC stuff wholeheartedly you are transphobic or a racist or a bigot or whatever. There is no room for opinion or discussion.

I’m guessing this comment won’t stand either.

That's ok, though, because you're a grown-up, so you can handle hearing views that differ from yours. Right? Own your beliefs. It doesn't matter what people call you.

Yes. I am a grown up and can refrain from labeling people as racists or bigots just because their opinion is different than mine.

And I agree, it doesn’t matter what people call me. It just reflects poorly on them.

Who's high-fiving? Nobody even knew about it.

Great. Then stop complaining about it. There is lots of room for opinion or discussion. Nobody is canceling you, nobody is erasing you, nobody is silencing you (except possibly Jeff, but he gets to do that because you're posting on his web site.)

What “high fiving”? Most said they don’t care. No big deal.

“Blind acceptance” of a minor package of pads? Seriously? You sound ridiculous. Or maybe you ARE knowingly pushing this RWNJ talking point.

You clearly don't care about the minorities.

Imagery about menstruation in tampon ads has always been so ridiculous. Two grown women walking on a beach talking about how fresh they feel?? Now that there are menstruating men, I’d like the narrative to change. What I really want to see is a commercial where some bros play football with a box of tampons, score a touchdown, and the winning team heads to the locker room together.

I do. I absolutely don’t care about the packaging. If they would simply remove the Venus sign, I would continue to buy their product. If they made a political statement, no. As a pp stated, the packaging design done for the low IQ people. I don’t care if my pads will be wrapped in a plain brown paper as long as they do the work. However, I do care about the agenda that this company is trying to push on me. As a mother of three young girls, I don’t want to support the company who promotes equality between women and transgender men. One day, one of this transgender men will be competing against one of my girls in sports if I continue quietly with this propaganda just because it simply doesn’t hurts me now, like some of the posters said. Also, as a taxpayer, I don’t want to pay for any of the voluntary elective hormone replacement therapy, and for all the health consequences of this treatment that these transgenders will be facing in 20-30 years . This is just two examples, I have few more reasons, just don’t have time.

I think people who have this mentality “ If it doesn’t hurt me, I don’t care” are very narrow minded and failing to see a bigger picture.

And here we have the anti-trans language from the extremist group in Shirlington — American Principles Project.

Hopefully you are getting paid to spread this hateful PROPAGANDA.

How is not wanting a biological male to compete against a biological female propaganda?

Why don’t you head over to Shirlington and ask them yourself?

Bathroom fearmongering didn’t work so now you’re trying sports. Got it.

Im not pp but im super over you denying women their ability to discuss a movement specifically aimed at erasing the language of their identity by conflating that concern with bigots who are worried about bathrooms.

I forvone don’t understand why things are labeled by gender .

They're differentiated by sex. Often for good reason.

Males and females have different anatomy. You are much more likely to see urinals in a male restroom than a female restroom. If both restrooms were designed in exactly the same way, it would either unnecessary limit the number of males who could use them. My limited observation is that restrooms for males typically contain more urinals and fewer toilets, and if they could only have toilets that same space could not hold the same number of toilets as toilets + urinals. Females are not typically prepared to use urinals, and wasting space on them in a restroom for females would be at the cost of a toilet that female bodied people could use.

We could ignore this, and pretend that male and female bodies are the same, which appears to be the direction society is going currently now. Science denial is popular.

And if tampons are not labeled for women you might not know they are for women you might think guys sticking them up the ars?

PS men’s bathrooms don’t have less stalks and their stalls work the same way stalls in women’s bathrooms work. Also having urinals don’t stop stalls from working for women.

Your argument makes no sense. If there are two bathrooms and no signs outside a bathroom, and I walk into one that contains that urinals, I am going to realize I'm in the wrong place and go into the other bathroom.

Labeling things means I'll be able to go to the grocery store when I want to the grocery store, because it has a sign out front. Otherwise, I'd have to walk into every store in the shopping center until I found the right one. It's not oppressive or discriminatory for the hair salon to let me know what it is before I enter it. It would also be bizarre for the hair salon to contain a produce section, since I don't need a produce section when I'm there to get my hair cut.

Well you will be wrong in many bathrooms, because they are unisex and they still have urinals. I actually have a funny picture in your head walking from unisex bathroom to unisex bathroom having no clue what to do because they both have urinals. The horror!

Also think it is funny you would starve to death if your grocery store was not labeled. It's odd that you need so many prompts to get through your day.

There’s already a psa ad with a transman holding a sign about trans menstruation. He’s wearing brown pants with a blood stained crotch. Google it.

You mean when the minority got rid of slavery. Most people wanted slavery and then the minority f'd it all up.

Not a slim minority. And obviously an important crusade. So, not apples to apples.

Fabulous. Glad to hear it. Better than that dumb blue liquid.

I’m quite sure there’s a significant difference between a .6% minority and say a 30-40% minority.

If you're talking about America in 1860 then you're wrong. The clear majority of the population was opposed to slavery.
