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.

Find out where this whole topsy turvy form of thinking came from, note the people who promoted the ideology. It is a very subversive movement that intended long ago to uproot the essential meaning of anything called truth or reality. It is deconstructionist, it aims to destroy the foundations of reason. Nothing is true, or more true than anything else, according to this movement. There is no ground zero, no essential meaning, no purpose, no inherent dignity. Gender theory is but one strand, which people like Judith Butler ran with, going wildly to the place where biological sex is torn asunder by moronic ideology even in the highest medical universities. There are many other strands, such as moral relativism, cultural relativism, the destruction of the literary canon, ultimately the dehumanisation of the human being. The roots of the thinking go back towards Georges Bataille, even the Marquis de Sade. Subversive perverts who somehow got a toehold in academic thought. It is a big story.

It wasn't the first time, however, that Lennon raised a ruckus at the Troubadour. A month earlier, Rolling Stone reported that a similarly inebriated Lennon, at the club to see soul singer Ann Peebles, somehow ended up with a sanitary napkin attached to his forehead. "Do you know who I am?" Lennon said, when a waitress questioned why he wasn't leaving a tip on the way out. "Yes," the waitress reportedly shot back. "You're some asshole with a Kotex on your head."

The guy is a Dr in philosophy who still has all his man bits but decided that he is a she when he decided to take up competitive cycling. Them's the rules folks, men competing in women's sports can do so with all their tackle in place, so long as they reduce their testosterone level. It's unfair and it's insane. Young girls are dedicating themselves to sports, sacrificing a lot to dedicate the time to their training only to face losing time after time after time to a man who claims he's a woman because he's not good enough to compete at the men's level and the sports bodies are giving in to it. Imagine looking at your daughter putting in all that effort with no chance at all of winning against a man. At this rate the number of female athletes is going to fall when girls decide not to bother anymore and who could blame them?

Academic feminists have long promoted the argument that gender is historically, socially, and culturally constituted—but now it would seem that these efforts to theorize gender out of existence are causing real harm to real people.

But far from all, look at the lesbians being removed from marches, meetings etc, often by third or fourth wave feminists. Edit overall i have to say i am calling the backlash as having started with older gals of my generation and more. It was a seriously wtf reaction to the madness, some lost their jobs and all. Glad to say it is catching fire more generally though.
