"boycott Always sanitary towels for removing the Venus logo"

:pac:

Many Twitter users have vowed to boycott Always sanitary towels for removing the Venus logo in response to trans-rights campaigners saying men use them too. The Venus symbol, the female sexual identity mark, featured on all of the products wrapping.
The brand, however, decided to remove the symbol after pressure from trans activists. The activists claim the female symbol is inappropriate as not all people who menstruate identify as female.

Ben Saunders, 18, prompted the move and contacted Always, part of the Procter & Gamble company, in June complaining about the sign. Ben revealed on Twitter he had contacted Always in June about the brand ‘discriminating’ towards transgender customers, remarking on he female symbol.

I wonder what kind of lives these people live if they put so much energy into something so bloody trivial.

Stop giving into these god damned lunatics.

Bending to these types of demands creates more fuel to them to push other daft demands on companies etc to appease certain groups. Smh

Lunatics have feelings too.

Most transgender people couldn't care less about the venus symbol on a packet of sanitary towels. This move isn't driven by the trans community, it's a small cohort of bullies who want everyone to conform to their extreme beliefs.

Be nice if the outrage fücknuggets on all sides of these tedious campaigns decided to boycott the internet. For ever, preferably.

Why the hell are trans men using them? They don't menstruate!

For mopping up after the 'op'.

Think we need to take that talking head’s advice and start cracking each other’s skulls open to feast on the goo inside. IT’S TIME.

I didn't get this either, but it's the other way round I think, "identify as men"

I know. I’m envious almost. These are privileged people with comfortable lives.

Yeah, but no need to lose the rag over it.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that media source just invented this story for click bait...

So what lady sanitary products will have a feature a hairy chested man to make men claiming to be women feel at home

We just need a war , a big fcukin' war not a little one.
One that wipes out generations and we can just start again.

Wait, hang on.

Is the people boycotting it we're annoyed at or the people who got the symbol removed?

Kind of nice seeing the trans lads kick off for a change, it always seems to be the women.

Mind you they are on the rag so it's probably that.

Boom_Bap · 21-10-2019 03:46PM

Phew, I can start using them for comedy purposes now.

Is it women who identify as men so therefore still menstruate or something? I dunno, I got a headache trying to figure it out. Minus fun. I'll boycott them in a few months when I actually need to use them again! Or, I just won't care or remember by then

FTM not the other way around.

Trans man - born female

Trans woman - born male

Asking for the removal of the Venus logo - mental

I think it's the women identifying as men that have the problem.

I read somewhere that a man who transitions to a woman gets some sort of monthly fluctuation in hormones?

I could be a spy, born in '84 I'd be seen as a Millennial.

You know how people think it's hilarious to cover peoples desks in post it notes.
Used sanitary towels can be used now as they are no longer Venus inspired.

Also, does this mean the men area allowed to roller-blade and windsurf whilst wearing white shorts now?

You know, I'm not sure what direction I was expecting that to go but it was not that :pac:

Yes but trampolining in white shorts is where I would personally draw the line. That is sacred and only ciswomen are allowed do it.

Paulzx · 21-10-2019 04:16PM

I'm confused

I haven't a breeze who to be irate at!!!!

Hear hear. Consensus has been agreed.
Reason will prevail.
