Always removes feminine symbols because 'not everyone who has a period identifies as female'
The Washington Times ^ | Monday, October 21, 2019 | Jessica Chasmar

Procter & Gamble’s Always feminine hygiene brand announced it is removing feminine symbols from its packaging in the name of inclusivity.

“For over 35 years Always has championed girls and women, and we will continue to do so,” the company said in a statement to The Independent. “We’re also committed to diversity and inclusion, and after hearing from many people across genders and age groups, we realized that not everyone who has a period and needs to use a pad identifies as female.”

The decision comes after transgender activists criticized the company for including the feminine Venus symbol on its packaging.

In a letter to trans activist Ben Saunders, which has since been shared online, the company said it would remove the symbol from its packaging starting this December, with full distribution expected by February.

I hope their competitor destroys them.

I suspect their competitors will join them in the race to see who can be most woke.

Well the way I see it, the left is only harming themselves more and more with this insanity. Between the trannys competing in womens sports and winning all the time and then this PC garbage by companies, the majority of people are not insane and they are getting really turned off by this ridiculousness. Matter of fact, in my experience a LOT of people are very sensitive about this stuff, just the concept of transsexuals is extremely repulsive to them and all the left is doing is compounding upon that repulsion. I think it's quite possible Trump in 2020 just may beat Reagans 1984 win for largest landslide win in US history, he will win EVERY state California and New York included if the left continues down this path of insanity.

This stuff is hilarious. I am surprised they did not create a brand for each “sex” that has periods. That is a niche market!

I’d love the map to look like that on the morning after the election but I don’t think it will. States like California are never going to make a sane vote again until maybe after the inevitable “Atlas Shrugged” moment when the lights start going out all over the state because there nobody left who knows how to run a power plant or is willing to do it because of the onerous regulations. But until then, safe state for dems 100%. And it’s not alone.

Since I was five I've identified as the Queen of Spain. But,curiously enough,every time I've knocked on the front door of the Royal Palace in Madrid an ambulance showed up and took me to a hospital.

I'd call that regiphobia.

” I guess you could appeal to that guy whos blowing awaay the womens cycling world.”

As a woman(xx-woman), I find this insanity insulting to the rest of us, or should I say the majority of us. Allowing an xy-man who identifies as feminine to compete as a trans-woman against xx-women athletics is no different then allowing doping so that an athlete can unfairly win a competition because they have had injected steroids and hormones.

If an xy wants to identify as feminine, fine, same with an xx who wants to identify as masculine. However; legally and by genetic makeup, one is what nature made each of us by bringing together those chromosomes that make each one of us, either male or female.

This country has become so f##ked up it will never return to anything close to normal again. Just when you think it can’t get worse, it does.

Yeah but I was looking at the demographics of Cali and the problems they are having. If the election was held now I would say no, but we still have a year left and I’m betting the left is going to get so insane it’s going to turn off even the most ardent leftist, something like pedophile rights. I’m betting that is coming down the line pretty soon.

So, does the hormone medication given to men who wish to be women cause PMS?

Before or after the genital mutilation surgery?

The “transgender dysphoria” (and EVERY PERMUTATION THEREOF!) is nothing but a HUGE pile of meaningless bullshit!

Truly! A tale told by MANY idiots, signifying NOTHING!
