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.

Don’t post that on FB, they will ban you....................

About a year ago I was banned...for life...from The Guardian's response forums (after having been on them for 10 years) because I pointed out that there were only two genders.

I kid you not.

Let’s just publicly laugh at them every time we can. Laugh at their face. Ridicule this silliness. That is the only way to win.

This is in the category of Abe Lincoln's comment "How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg."

Right now society has bought into the equivalent delusion of five legged dogs. but dogs still have four legs no matter what we call them and people who menstruate are not men because they say so.

How long before one of these nutcases goes into a doctor’s office and demands a Pap Smear? — Doesn’t Schiff get one regularly? ___ No, that's a crap smear.

It's already here. Barbra Streisand did challenge Michael Jackson's now-adult Neverland pedo boytoys, saying they were hardly victims because they were 'thrilled to be there' and his 'sexual needs were his sexual needs'.

And the Drag Queen Story Hour creatures are even beginning to admit that what they are doing, is training little children to enjoy sexual feelings and sexual touching with adults.

Or vice versa.

I read this as

“CBS NEWS PARROTS”

Which is just perfect way to describe CBS and the MSM. Parrots of whatever the DNC talking points are for the day.

NOW founder Kate Millett was there in the 1980s.

The Uber Left of West Germany were there in the 60s and 70s.

It has traction in the ‘gay rights’ movement founders.

if a man has readjustment surgery and a vagina is carved into him... he will bleed... not monthly, everyday, and he will need pads... Always...

Yakov Smirnoff...New Freedom is about 5 minutes into video but liked seeing Rodney Dangerfield in the intro, and this is an early routine, much about Russia/Soviet Union.

“if a man has readjustment surgery and a vagina is carved into him... he will bleed... not monthly, everyday, and he will need pads... Always..”

As we know real vaginas are self cleansing. Can you imagine the stench from a fake one?

Truly a mental illness.
