Women in Scotland now have a legal right to free menstrual products
CNN ^ | Jack Guy,

Posted on 08/16/2022 2:14:25 PM PDT by BenLurkin

The new law means period products will be available to access in public buildings including schools and universities across Scotland. It will be the responsibility of local authorities and education providers to ensure the products are available free of charge.

In 2018, the Scottish government announced that students in schools, colleges and universities across the country would be able to access sanitary products for free, through a £5.2 million ($6.3 million) investment. In 2019, it allocated another £4 million ($4.85 million) to make period products available without charge in libraries and recreational centers.

Only “women” are allowed to have this? Sounds quite transphobic...

There’s quite a lot of variety out there.

And what works for one particular woman might not be the best choice for another.

But Deep State won’t care about that, ladies.

You’ll get what Deep State gives you. And like it.

Or else.

Meanwhile, whichever companies have the contract/s for this will make out like bandits.

And they won’t care about women want and/or need, either.

Nobody can have a right to be provided free manufactured goods without a corresponding obligation on another to pay for or otherwise provide the goods.

If this becomes widespread, I absolutely would expect an ever-increasing decrease in quality.

But maybe Victory Gin will be free too.

The left now believes that being female is a disability and fertility is a disease. Better to be trans. In ten years, they’ll make trans mandatory. We can just import replacement people.

The parents will tell the kids to use the free products. Daughters will respond that those are cheap crap, not cool. They want Mom to buy the premium ones.

“The left now believes that being female is a disability and fertility is a disease. Better to be trans. In ten years, they’ll make trans mandatory. We can just import replacement people”

Just finished re-reading “Brave New World” It’s damn near where we’re at now.

It won’t be long before they’ll have artificial wombs, at which point giving birth will be considered “viviparous” and disgusting. Calling someone a mother or father will be the grossest insult.

We won’t need to import replacement people. We’ll manufacture each individual to the specifications we want and need.
