Amazing how threatened some are of a gender other than their own. It must be snowing in August somewhere.

These people are angry about the most random things. 

It’s like we are angry about people lacking health insurance, kids going hungry and our planet heating beyond human survival limits. And their pissed about… tampons.

Yeah the "Tampon Tim" thing is interesting. The magats are spinning it as him requiring tampons be placed in boys restrooms in schools for the trans people. Totally untrue...the bill required no such thing. It required feminine products be made available to whomever needed them in schools.

Someone from MN had mentioned that some schools DID place those items in certain boys restrooms/locker rooms only because sometimes opposing teams (female) would use those locker rooms, etc., when visiting the school to play the local team.

A good example of how morons just jump to conclusions without exploring the topic.

Of all the people here, you love the idea of tampons in boys restrooms. Be honest with yourselves. On your Christmas list for left radicals, you’re asking Santa for tampons 1st or 2nd.

of course you would not know this, but the reason SOME, not ALL of the boys restrooms had tampon machines is because some of those restrooms were used as locker/changing rooms for female teams from other schools to use during sporting events, particularly tournaments when there were many women's teams there. but your news sources would never tell you that.

Where are you getting that information?
That doesn’t make sense because in all the schools I’ve worked at I’ve never heard of boys lockerooms being opened to female students for games. I’m not saying it never happens, but it’s got to be pretty rare and a huge liability. Male students and faculty may not be aware and walk in. It’s just not something most schools I think would do.
So I tried looking it up. I couldn’t find one mention of it. Instead, I keep seeing language like this in nearly every article:
”The law’s text also says the products must be available to “all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12, according to a plan developed by the school district.” That would include both boys, girls and gender-neutral bathrooms.”

It’s comical. No one is pissed. Tampon Tim is a great name tho. I can’t wait until Trump uses it.

And you never know if someone gets a bloody nose. Those tampons come in handy as long as they’re unscented.

For independent voters who barely follow politics? They are going to vote for the thug insulting a man by insulting women?

they’d think the maga man was weird and wouldn’t vote for him.

do you normally put down people in real life, at your job, out shopping, family functions, by insulting with derogatory comparisons to menstrual products? How’s that working out?

that is just plain weird man.

You’re emotional. Trump offends you. You can’t handle mean tweets. Some people just don’t like inflation, high interest rates, high gas prices open borders, lack of a foreign policy. You need a President to be your buddy, I don’t. Trump sucks, I don’t like him. I think the country was better off than with Biden.

And yeah I put down people at work, out shopping and at family functions, and on this forum, it’s my entertainment! 😂😂😂

I get it when some people are unsatisfied with the whole system, left, right, up, down, whatever you want to call it. I myself feel that way about the way some things work in society and politics in general.  

What I don't get is the throw-a-tantrum and elect some crazy guys  to high offices that are not really interested in doing anything constructive to help move things in a better direction.  Why would someone want that?  

Same thing with people who get on sites like this- forums that are set up to have useful and informative discussions about politics and current events, but then they simply use that opportunity to play some kind of stupid game.   Why is that?

Or this:  Why give your time and energy to those people who habitually just make a joke of the whole thing ?  What is accomplished by that?  Right, nothing.

This should be a safe space. No foolin’ around.

Sure, and no one denies that.
Although I don’t believe all 28 require them in boys bathrooms, just that they are available. Which makes much more sense.
The criticism of this bill is that the law specifies must be available in all restrooms regularly used by students.
No one argues products being available at the counselors or nurses office. But loading them up in 4th grade boys bathrooms does seem unnecessary.
And claiming it’s for girl athletes when the girls bathrooms are not big enough to host events seems to me like admitting it’s a dumb idea to just place them in all bathrooms when you rationalize it with something that isn’t accurate.

No one wants to deny students hygiene products, trans or not. Making them available in all restrooms 4th and up though is a different story.

tell me, teach. what should transboys do if/when gender neutral bathroom is in use or empty of said products?

further, would encourage searching for the text of the bill and rely on that.

btw, mn dem house/senate crafted this. he signed.

Here is the article I was referencing...I don't see mention of the use of a locker room by opposing teams so I must have seen that somewhere else but I have certainly experienced that with my own kids. Most middle schools aren't going to have opposing team locker rooms...they are going to share them.

MONEYWATCH

Gov. Tim Walz made tampons free in Minnesota schools. Here's why it's drawing Trump's ire.

By Aimee Picchi

Edited By Alain Sherter

Updated on: August 8, 2024 / 7:59 AM EDT / CBS News

As governor of Minnesota, one of Tim Walz's accomplishments was signing a 2023 education law that included a mandate for schools to provide free menstrual supplies to students in grades 4 through 12. 

That mandate is drawing fresh attention as the Trump campaign seeks to criticize Walz for the law, claiming it requires school districts to supply tampons and pads to both female and male bathrooms due to transgender boys who may menstruate. On social media, the hashtag #TamponTim began trending on August 6, the day Walz was named as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate for the Democratic presidential ticket.

"As a woman there is no greater threat to a woman's health than leaders ... who support putting tampons in men's bathrooms in public schools," Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Tuesday.

In a statement emailed to CBS MoneyWatch, Leavitt claimed that Walz "has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State." She added, "Tampon Tim put tampons in boys' bathrooms, wants men to play in women's sports, and supports gender transitions for minors."

The Minnesota law, however, doesn't specify in which bathrooms the menstrual supplies must be located; instead, it requires school districts to develop plans to ensure all students who menstruate can access free tampons and pads, Lacey Gero, director of government relations at the advocacy group Alliance for Period Supplies, told CBS MoneyWatch. Her group advocates for free tampons and pads in schools, prisons and other institutions and eliminating the so-called tampon tax.
