  • you seem to be making up worst case scenarios that end in violence breaking out. trust me when I say, most normal adults don’t care about any of that stuff and don’t think about restrooms beyond “I really need to pee.”

    I’d believe that its mostly just convenience. even to most trans individuals who need those products.

    you are making this out to be some warzone or something. “That they’re not being allowed to die solely because their existence isn’t similar enough to the rest of us to be convenient.”

    buddy we are talking about pads. nobody who matters cares. and anyone that does care will probably just grimace about it and won’t remember 5 minutes later. I’m not going to call myself “an individual who menstruates” I’m gonna just say woman because I’m allowed to refer to myself how I choose to.

    nobody is going to die dramatically because i didn’t use that exact phrase to refer to myself.

    edit: also we should probably move to DMs and not clog up the comment section.

    i mean 98% of all women menstruate. doesn’t seem like a malicious act when you consider that. it’s not exclusionary on purpose.

    what strife is caused by someone walking into a restroom and grabbing a pad, exactly? most people don’t give a fuck. regardless of how they present themselves. most women would just shrug and continue about their day.

    also if someone harms themself over that, I tend to think that menstrual products probably wasn’t the whole reason. and maybe they had other stuff going on. you know?









  • all of these are gold, seriously. this is my favorite comic that gets posted.

    edit: I haven’t done this until now but I just wiki’d Pál Pusztai. I’m so sad that this guy basically died in 1970 and now his comic is extremely popular internationally. for the life of the comic it never really left Hungary until wayyyyy after his death. and now is super beloved by everyone.

    i honestly might never have found out about it if it weren’t for this instance. so thank you very much. <3
