Menstrual cycles are for everyone? 'Always' removes female symbol from sanitary pads following trans activists' complaints

Women's products maker Always is at the center of a fresh feminist v transgender skirmish, after caving in to trans activists' outrage and removing the 'discriminatory' Venus symbol from its packaging.

The company will drop the universally recognized symbol from December, following an onslaught of tweets insisting that women aren't the only ones who menstruate.

The decision may have appeased a handful of PC keyboard activists, but it has apparently enraged the bulk of the company's customer base - women, that is.

Feminist campaigner Julie Bindel told the Mail on Sunday that the move is akin to "denying the existence" of women.

"We're now moving towards the total elimination of women's biology. The women's symbol has been used by feminists for decades. This is pure cowardice and virtue signaling from these big corporate brands who are capitulating to the trans agenda," she added.

The rush to acquiesce to PC crusaders has led to commentators - even some who identify as trans - to argue that the extreme activism is harming, rather than helping, the trans community.

Mental illness and its apologists and co-dependents are a plague right now. If the people promoting this joined with the people advocating for robots to refuse sex, and those who think there are 50+ genders, there'd probably be enough people to inhabit a small city. We know what the behavior mandates would be, but how would they be enforced? And what sort of political system would they erect? Something for stand-up comedians to consider.

So . . . if a tranny is bleeding from that area, maybe a doctor would be a better choice than a maxi pad . . . just sayin

They'll be waiting a long time for the miracle of the stigmata in the ladyboy garden, I'll tell you that.

Highland Fleet Lute I've only got a faint understanding of WTF you are talking about - ladyboy garden leads to trans porn, I guess - but, hey! I know what stigmata means.*) yet I'm still ROTFLMAO.

*Did you read (sounds like a joke, not a joke) some archeological study that found folks who were Crucified were crucified between the Ulna and Radius above the wrist? Otherwise, if done in the center of the hands. the weight of the body would rip the nail out between the fingers.

I wonder if folks have since 'miraculously' acquired stigmata in the Proper Place?

Then again. I'm well informed/studied, for I too have seen the end!!!

Of what?

Of the 'Life of Brian' where they're given those little lateral posts to place their feets on.

The power of belief it would seem.

And, hung long enough -- spikes or rope -- the ability to breathe is somehow messed up with the result that people apparently did 'push ups from the knees' to keep breathing; the 'remedy' for which I won't recount here . . .

Yeah, maybe that was a bit unwieldy. I was referring to the null potential for drag queen menstruation.

"Lady garden" is a euphemism sometimes used in England for a womans pubic area.

"Ladyboy" is a euphemism for a Thailand-ese tranny. Usually a prostitute.

A tranny wearing a sanitary towel is obviously expecting a miracle, so maybe this is a sign 'the transgender movement' is now at a crossroads between sexual fetishism and religious fetishism.

Maybe these barking mad nonces will declare themselves a religion and start waiting around for a cha-cha heeled Messiah who will exhibit The Blood of The Tranny Saints and establish The New Drag Jerusalem.

Highland Fleet Lute I can remember when I was a gay (happy) lad, and I wished to possess (as within my budget) - a Chevy Nova Wagon with a Three on the Floor Hurst Shifter/manual trannie (transmission) & a 308 (c.i., not mm) small block V8. The idea was to use the extra room to drive to and from Canada, importing fags (cigs) bought wholesale, and Thai Sticks bought illicitly by the faggot (bundles of stick.) But now....whatever.

Language.....

I grew up reading Sixties Marvel Comics, Mad magazine, The British music press, much of which was stylistically indebted to Tom Wolfe's more than somewhat purple 'The New Journalism'. I also studied Dylan Thomas for my English Literature O' Level.

It probably shows a bit.

Highland Fleet Lute It doth, and that's a great thing.

Pure insanity, denial of the reality of two sexes, one menstruates, to enable fertility and human propagation.

Human men will never be able to accomplish this, unless they are Seahorses. that want to entwine themselves on Kelp beds, and give birth.

The ignorance and insanity that has taken over our world is stretching the bounds of reality.

The only comparison I can make is The Garden of Earthly Delights Circa 1492 for the first part of his triptych.

Women should boycott Always products and we'll see how much business that company gets from trans. That ought to be interesting.

"Always."

Maybe they should just come out with a new transgender-demographic-specific product.

It could be called "Never".

LOL.
