World’s first tampons for men are an ‘insult’ to women
The Telegraph ^ | December 2, 2023 | Sanchez Manning

Posted on 12/03/2023 3:47:41 PM PST by Robwin

The world’s first tampons for men have been criticised by feminist campaigners as an “insult” to women who suffer period discrimination.

Vuokkoset, a Finnish company released the controversial new sanitary product earlier this month to coincide with Transgender Awareness week and International Men’s day.

The product comes in a dark blue box which bears the words “For Men” on one side, but then extends this phrase around the packaging so it eventually reads “For Menstruation”.

On another side of the packet it is stated that “periods are not a gender issue”.

Vuokkoset has said in a statement online that it launched the period product to “raise the issue of genderness of hygiene products and the anxiety related to menstruation in trans men”.

Here is the website for the company:

Periods aren’t just an issue for women, as trans men and non-binary people may also have a womb and periods. That’s why Vuokkoset launches tampon for men during international Transgender Awareness Week.

I’m old enough to remember when we would have called that insanity.

This needs to be encouraged as much as possible, to help these people self-identify. Forcing them to cover up their insanity only poses more risks.

i cant even understand what that means.

Women who have periods pretending to be men are going to use the Man tampon.

Men who have gender surgery who have no periods can use them in their new vagina.

Men who have had no surgery can use it to stop the bleeding after something has been up their butt like gerbils.

In one statement they are correct. Periods are not a gender issue. Periods have nothing to do with grammar. They are a sex issue, and only one of the two sexes experiences menstruation.

Once they start with the hormones the flow dries up. If they don’t start the hormones then they are, at most, cross dressing omen.

If she is only pretending that is correct. If she is pretending with testosterone then her periods will end but that is not a sex change- it s sterilization. She an neither father or bear a child. It is a great method for ending a family line.
