He advocated for period products in every bathroom because of transgenderism. THAT'S what repubs are upset about. Just call it what it is, cowards.

I grew up in the 80's and 90's. Funny how this was never a topic one would even consider talking about which shows you have crazy things have become.

The 80s was 40+ years ago. This is like being shocked that values became more progressive in the 1980s compared to the 1940s.

Beyond your crazy time perception, can you explain how having menstrual products available in mens rooms hurts anyone? It can only help right? Can you explain the harm being done?

First is cost. How many people using the boy's bathroom will even need access to these products? Why not have them available at the nurse's office in case someone needs it? The second issue is boys will be boys and will most likely mess with the products. I read about one middle school where they ripped the dispenser off the wall in less than an hour of being placed in the boy's bathroom.

These concerns seem so minor compared to the reactions from the right-wing. Are you really this pissed off that boys might act like idiots in the bathrooms? If that’s what you’re worried about, why not address behavior issues in boys instead of blowing up a thread on a VP pick?

No but you seem weirdly pissed off. I was simply responding to the previous poster about the issue having these products in a boy's bathroom. Not exactly blowing up a thread .

I’m not angry - I’m genuinely puzzled about why this matters so much. And click back through this thread, it’s been stick on this issue for pages now.

Did it ever occur to you there may be more than one poster with an opinion 🤔

Sure! Can you (all 2, 3 of you) explain what the big deal is?

I am one of the posters and for me, one part is that it’s straight up wasting money all in the name of virtue signaling. We really need to stock all MN boys school bathrooms with period products to make the 10 trans boys in that state comfortable? Really?

And be crystal clear that you have no compassion for trans kids, who have a far higher suicide rate than average and require support and kindness, not derision. As importantly, how about you just MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

There are a lot of things to like about Tim Walz but his kindness and empathy are at the top for me. As an educator, he knows the obstacles a hungry belly and issues of social difference pose to learning and achievement. He will do whatever he can to address children’s needs and help them. Sorry the right hates the existence of trans kids but he understands trans boys need period products and supplying them hurts exactly no one. He is a good man. Wish some on the right would listen and learn from him.

Yeah, erring on the side of tolerance and kindness is so hard for these people.

I'm so tired of these stupid comments from people on the left. No one hates trans kids! We just want them to receive proper mental health care and to follow what the actual research says and doesn't say and listen to the experts not captured by an ideology. Most people have never taken the time to really look into everything because they blindly believe what activists and the media tell them.

This impacts so few people that the right is disproportionately focused on it. So weird.

Transphobia is a major part of their platform, sadly. So hateful to target vulnerable populations the way they do.

Could you please stop calling everyone who doesn’t agree that period products belong in boys bathrooms transphobic? You’re just calling names when you don’t get 100% agreement from people and it just makes you look petty.

The other explanations have been cost and boys messing with the products. If it isn’t trans folks, are these the explanations you’re sticking with?

+1 we are looking for an explanation as to whom this hurts. Be specific.

It seems that the worst MAGA can do to Walz is “Walz didn’t actively work to make life worse for trans children in MN, while simultaneously helping low income women and girls achieve an education”

I mean gosh the attack ads write themselves /s

Its even more funny because access to menstrual products DOES help low income women and girls achieve an education 😂

I know someone who was his wife's student some years back. It's a town of 400. It's real, and he's a good man.

Do you mean Mankato, where they taught, which has a population over 40,000?

Its population was 286 according to the 2020 census, down from 326 in 2010.

I think it’s that he’s putting menstrual products in the boys’ room that’s an issue, not free menstrual products. Doesn’t anyone have common sense now?

Exactly.

Because if someone identifies as a boy and is biologically female, they may need menstrual products. This happens. It’s ok.

Or if a boy has a friend, girlfriend, or sister who may need menstrual products, they can get them. Normalize menstruation. Again, it’s ok.

What’s not ok is the GOP’s obsession with everyone’s genitals and bodily functions. Ick.

This is such an immense and hilarious reach I’m afraid you’re gonna hurt yourself.

It's really strange you think that's such a reach.

And it’s really strange that you think the boys room needs menstrual products.

There. I guess we’re even.

I think I get it now. You've never known any girls, except your mother.

No, it really isn't. It is a normal human process that can be embarrassing and really, why do you want human blood puddling around on a school chair or hallway?

Of course it’s a normal human process. Putting sanitary products in the girls bathrooms makes sense. I fully support that.

But putting them in the boys bathroom is ridiculous. No one needs their boyfriend or brother to run in and get them products. Thats the reach.

If you really think I want human blood puddling around on a school chair or hallway, then there’s clearly no rational conversation to be had here.
