Women aren’t being cut out, the term includes women and people who identify as something else, but still menstruate

...they are for people who menstruate...I mean, being progressive and inclusive etc is a good and positive thing...I’ve seen lots of positive stuff on Twitter with this, which is encouraging......it often seems to be the DM ‘pushing issues’ ...and trying to make them a thing’...

POW! BLAM!

What's the point in changing things like that, only women can menstrate women who identify as men often still menstrate, and men who identify as men obviously don't.

"If they said women it would alienate trans men!!!"
"Saying people who mentruate instead of women is gender erasure!!!!" WOW so stuck, such problem, what do? Impossible to please everyone I just can't think of... Oh wait you could just leave that entire ****ing paragraph off the back of the box and it would make absolutely no difference to the product, and no one would care, at all. They put it there because they knew it would generate free advertising. Pff. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 04-09-2020 at 10:28 PM. |

This is, kind of, my problem with the debate. Women are told to stop getting offended or for caring too much about trivial matters like "words on a box" whilst simultaneously being told that trivial matters like "words on a box" are alienating trans people. So, effectively, trans people can take issue with words they find degrading or erasing, but cis women can't. It's a double standard. Last edited by Marsh.; 04-09-2020 at 10:49 PM. |

Why are condoms called male condoms?
You don't have to be male to use one. It just seems to me there is some kind of drive to have 'women' taken off everything.

It’s like the equivalent of the strawman of angry flag wavers being mad at black people, for the bbc choosing not to sing a song.

Forcing a change in language women can use about themselves because a minority of people find it excludes them is simultaneously telling one group their feelings on language used to refer to them matters more than the other. That's unequal and a double standard. |

"People who mentruate" in the context used on the box is a stupid and somewhat pointed phrasing, though, since - as I pointed out above - you don't actually "need" the paragraph it's in at all. It can be inclusive by simply not saying either. Choosing to include the stock-phrase "people who menstruate" - one that has already been gathering negative feedback - STRONGLY suggests that they're using it deliberately for free publicity.

These are for people with a female reproductive system, that's just a fact, it's not highlighted to offend anyone.

Terfs are the biggest snowflakes out there
Imagine there’s a 13 year old boy out there somewhere who obviously has not had any surgery and has started menstruating. Products like these would mean the world to him. Butthurt fully grown women with zero sympathy for people going through tougher times than them.

They decided to do this for the publicity of what is already a big controversy, with the JK Rowling stories amongst others. Extreme trans activists are doing more harm than ever to the trans community IMO. Last edited by Marsh.; 05-09-2020 at 11:58 AM. |

Why would the wording on the box prevent him using them? .. or in some magical way lessen the trauma he is facing?... it wouldn't you're projecting your opinion to demonise anyone who has a counter view on this. Who, if you've noticed are not all women, if you checked your own prejudice you'd see that.
