It says it's a survey designed for "people who menstruate"

"We're hearing from people who menstruate and learning about different experiences of menstruation. This is an anonymous questionnaire, and with your consent, your response may be published in a collection on our blog Vitals."

@MeetDaye are an organic tampon subscription box service, and they're running a survey on the shared experience of menstruation. This survey is inclusive of #trans identities and they'd love to hear from people of all genders!


Just not women apparently

I think they forgot to tell the person who wrote the survey then, because ALL of the questions are clearly geared towards trans men/non-binary. They don't even make sense in any other context.

Thanks for this Niamh it really does prove that women are being squeezed our of any discussion on this issue for some reason.
My solution is to feature both on the box, that for me would be truly inclusive. To just erase one as a solution without acknowledging the reason for the change is not progress.

You don't think there's an issue. That's fine.

Others having a different viewpoint is not transphobic. It's a childish way of trying to close the discussion.

It’s not transphobic to be confused over the change. It is transphobic to say that transmen are females and the change should be reverted. That’s not a childish way to shut down an argument. That’s a fact to eat up and accept or ignorantly ignore

The change should be reverted? What does that mean?

It's not in anyway transphobic to say that transmen who menstruate still have their female biology. That's just a basic fact regardless of how people "feel".

Pussyfooting around feelings with anything does not change reality.

Again you are skirting around the issue. It doesn't help anyone removing text...add text. Say they are for women and transmen, what's the issue with that?

Yep, can't see how anyone could have a reasonable objection to that?

No I don’t think anyone would have an issue with that

[Crimson Dynamo]

Every human needs to feel important.
When you can't conventially you find other ways

[Elliot]

The only people that would have an issue with that would be some TERFs as some of them argue ‘Woman’ encompasses both of those

probably something to do with transwomen being raised with male socialization, and demanding things be changed to accommodate them? That's one theory I've heard as to why you don't hear much from transmen.

You don’t hear from trans men because they have literally no visibility

[user104658]

No, that's not a typo: 'womxn' is a spelling of 'women' that's more inclusive and progressive. The term sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, and explicitly includes non-cisgender women

They couldn't even get through their own tweet without forgetting.

[Marsh.]

How does one pronounce womxn?

[GoldHeart]

You cannot erase female and woman ! , No matter how much they want to .

There will always be products specifically aimed at women , and it's in the English language to say woman & female.
