CBS News Parrots Idea That ‘People Who Menstruate’ Aren’t ‘Always’ Female

Talk about putting the “men” in menstruation! On Tuesday it was announced that feminine hygiene product brand Always would be removing the Venus female symbol from its packaging. CBS News reported, “The announcement follows pleas from LGBTQ activists to make the labeling more inclusive of transgender and non-binary customers.” Because apparently having feminine products coded as feminine is offensive and exclusionary.

According to CBS News, “LGBTQ activists and allies have been publicly asking P&G [Procter & Gamble] to redesign the packaging to be more gender-neutral. They argued that using the female symbol is exclusive because not all women menstruate, and not all people who menstruate identify as women.” Okay, but all who menstruate have the XX chromosomes that would make them biologically female.

This is the same nonsense that has the left and the liberal media editing their language to be ridiculously non-gendered. Intersectionality has forced feminists to change the names of their “lady parts” organizations and fight for the right of women and “pregnant people” to have abortions.

The CBS report gave the impression that along with LGBTQ activists, “health advocates championed the move.” I guess packaging design is a health issue now. They also noted “a number of customers expressed outrage that the change appears to ‘eliminate’ women” but claimed the hashtag #BoycottAlways “sparked a slew of transphobic comments on social media,” while providing no evidence or explanation of what would be considered “transphobic.” Probably anything that wasn’t outright praise and celebration.

They did, however, quote from pro-abortion activist and New York Times contributor Dr. Jen Gunter, who tweeted, “Some trans men/non binary people menstruate. As do cis women who despise overly feminine products. Cis women who can’t menstruate and trans women are harmed by the assumption that menstruation defines femininity. Less ink for printing better for planet. This is a win all around.” How many style points in the intersectionality Olympics does she get for including environmentalism in that illogical screed?

In the Twitter thread, Gunter also hilariously cis-splained to NBC Out, the LGBTQ News and Information section of NBC News, “They are menstrual or period products, not feminine products.” She further lectured to everyone dying to get the latest scoop on woke messaging for period products, “They are also not sanitary products as having a period does not make you unsanitary!” I’m pretty sure the phrase refers to the hygienic cleanup of blood and bodily fluids, not calling the user unsanitary, but what do I know, I’m not a doctor.

We’ve been told for decades by the left that it’s a man’s world but now, with the activism from the LGBTQ community taking away women’s spaces so they’re inclusive for “men,” it’s actually coming true.

Yesterday's Diversity is today's intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

Show me one...ONE...person who menstruates who is NOT female. And I will insist on having a certified Medical Doctor present for THAT one.

Cis, trans or whatever they call themselves, as long as their DNA 🧬 test as XX , they are female. While not all females menstruate, ONLY females menstruate! Biology 101. Unless one is mentally ill. If a man bleeds out of his penis or other body part, he’s got other medical 🏥 problems.

The cisgender people would be us — who identify with the gender we’re born with. You know... sane, normal people.

Partial from 1963 communist 45 goals to destroy America.

24, 25, 26. Come to mind.
....
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

Just because since the dawn of time, 100% of all mammals who have menstruated have been female doesn’t mean only females menstruate.

This is part of the moral rot and decay destroying Western Civilization.

Civilizations fall because of internal moral rot and decay.

Future generations will recoil in disgust at the excesses, instability, and moral rot and decay of Western Civilization in its decadent phase. They will easily perceive it for what it is, though those afflicted by the decadence today cannot.

“Though it is easy for us to perceive the wild instability of the Roman Imperium in its final days, it was not easy for the Romans.”
~Thomas Cahill~
