Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fyi, the reason it's noteworthy is he put them in boys toilets and boys don't menstruate. Which is weird
Imagine boys picking up tampons for their girlfriends or just good friends because they couldn’t.
Transmasc students who use boys toilets still menstruate unless on some serious hormone therapy.
Really this country should gave gone to unisex toilets generations ago
That is a fraction of a fraction of a percent of people. Making all toilets wheelchair accessible would probably help more.
Problem is, women hate it when men use their toilets
Bro have you ever been in a ladies room? Consistently more nasty then the men's, nobody's trying to be in there. You just need a Boogeyman
Wow your post history is weird.
Cis this cis that, election fraud, echo chamber, echo chamber, echo chamber! ( and it goes on )
Have you gone to a public event. Women’s toilets have long lines and men’s have short to no lines. Makes me think men wouldn’t like women sharing their toilets either.
This guy also doesn't support free lunches for kids in school. Says the majority don't need them, so we shouldn't provide them at all.
I gotta say, you sure have some terrible takes, my friend.
When my kids were in elementary school so many of the students were on free or reduced price lunch they just decided to give every kid a free breakfast and lunch. And even though I could afford the lunches it was great because I didn't have to get them breakfast before school and I didn't have to make sure their lunch money account was topped up.
So even if you don't need them they're a really nice thing to have, IMHO.
Oh, so not only do you not want people who need them to have access to menstrual supplies, you also seem to think bigotry against trans people is an acceptable reason why.
I think we will disagree on what constitutes "bigotry against trans people"
I don't doubt that.
Who actually gives a shit? Not the least because transboys do exist, but also because having people reduce the stigma around feminine hygiene products is a net benefit to everyone.
If women know you always have a tampon or pad you will meet so many more women.
Actually, he didn't explicitly do so.
"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 distric"
That sounds like a perfectly reasonable phrasing.
There is no particularly pro-trans wording or explicitly declaring mens rooms to also have it, the phrasing is supremely neutral.
Back at my school, we use to have fight club in the bathroom. If we had tampons it would have saved a bunch of TP to stop bloody noses. We weren't so forward thinking back in the 90s sadly.
some boys do.
Non binary is a fad that we will not hear about in 15 years
I'm not a republican.
I'm not deleting your comment just so you see how many people disagree with you and keep reading the replies. It's 2024, not the nineteenth century, and transphobia and misoginia only makes you and everyone else worse off.
Thank you for revealing your transphobia so I can block you.
