'Not all menstruating students are women'
2023-01-20
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
This statement was made at a meeting of the US Education Committee. They discussed a bill that would require tampons and pads to appear in all school toilets (both for girls and boys).
If boys of all ages are as creative now as they were when I was young, they’ll find plenty of uses for the things, even in schools that don’t have a violence problem. On the other hand, this will definitely exacerbate the shortages on store shelves for real menstruating females.
One of the politicians opposed, then the sponsor of the bill, Rep. Sandra Feist, intervened.
*sigh* That’s the Minnesota House of Representatives, not the federal one in Washington, DC. She was elected in 2020, representing part of Minneapolis. It’ll be interesting to see whether the Minnesota legislature actually passes the monstrosity she has proposed.
“Non-female menstruating students face greater stigma and barriers when seeking these products, so making them easily accessible in all restrooms is especially important for these students.”

I don’t have enough imagination, or maybe knowledge, to solve this puzzle. Non-women, but with the menstrual cycle, how is it? She decided that a man is worthy of visiting the men's room, but you can't argue against nature?

Interestingly. For something like what the West is now actively and with all its might promoting, imposing, trying to make it its new way of life, many thousands of years ago the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. But that time he got off with only two cities.

#11  Just like most people don’t become spree killers from marijuana, and the number of women who got toxic shock syndrome from tampons numbers in the low double digits, most people did not get anal leakage from Olestra. Still, both the second and the third resulted in perfectly good products being taken off the market.

#8  remember Olestra?

A totally genius invention with one major flaw. I recall the press characterized it as "anal leakage", words which do not appear in the Wikipedia article.

Boys will be boys...especially in junior high school.

'Not all menstruating students are women'

Or even human. If leakage is the only criterion, I had a Subaru that menstruated oil.

#2  People who are confused about whether they are male or female (as opposed to "gender,") are not very viable as students either.

#1  Ass bleeders and vodka drinkers.
