1/5 I& #39;m perplexed and fed up by the @superdrug & #39;people who menstruate& #39; debate going on. If you truly feel that this erases women and that not being mentioned in the product somehow invalidates your relationship to sed product
2/5
then WHY can you not stop for a second and see that that is exactly the feeling that many trans men, non binary and intersex people have when they have to buy a period product! Most period products don& #39;t even say women on the packaging anyway!
3/5
I am a feminist. I fight for my right as a woman to be viewed as an equal member of society and I rail against the historic as well as current discrimination and in-built misogyny that stops that from happening.
4/5
( I& #39;m also very aware that being white and middle class, I haven& #39;t had to face as much of it as other women have, but that& #39;s a concurrent issue that& #39;s not directly applicable to what I& #39;m saying here)
5/5 But my feminism and my right to be included gains absolutely NOTHING by the exclusion of others!
If there is a & #39;plot to erase the word woman& #39; going on let& #39;s not pick THIS as the battle field! Because actually it& #39;s not just people who identy as female who use period products.
Bonus round!
Also, please try googling the difference between a trans man and a tran woman ... Some of these arguments are flawed from the off because some people don& #39;t seem to understand the distinction.
