    The issue is they are twisting it and saying they forced schools to put them in boys bathrooms to ramp up the transphobia.

      Boys should be reminded that menstruation is a normal thing every time they use the bathroom.

      They will probably mess around with them, and learn how they work. Having their own to play with is better than breaking into girls’ lockers and messing up their precious supplies as happened to me in middle school.

      If the school provides a boxful that has instructions, they’ll get the benefit of the diagrams. (Tampax could do us all a favor and label the clitoris, please!)

      But even just seeing how small they are might be reassuring to boys whose only ideas of sex come from porn.

      If I recall the law was all bathrooms. And some trans men need tampons.

      And sane, normal americans don’t care beyond “yeah. Menstrual products should be available for any who need them”

        You are correct on multiple things. it’s all bathrooms and I, as a normal American, don’t care.

        Just funny to watch the straw grasping here from the GOP to attack rather than actually have a policy plan.
