Conservatives latest scare tactic: Boy’s Bathroom Tampon Dispensers!
If the results of the 2024 election hangs on the fact that Conservatives say VP Nominee Tim Walz signed a bill in 2023 as Governor of Minnesota for tampon dispensers to be in boy’s bathrooms – we’re in for a rude awakening on NOV. 6TH!
How many Transgender folks are in frigin’ Minnesota anyway?
Is it a thing? Have I been living under a rock?
What happened was – Conservatives spread misinformation taking a funding bill Tim Walz signed that covered 300 items – one of which was ‘Menstrual Supplies in school bathrooms’ & ran with it. It never said, ‘Boy’s bathrooms’.
Of course, they clutched their pearls & latched on to this provocative tidbit with a Political Twofer:
Their Orwellian fascination with women’s reproductive organs & ‘The Noah’s Ark Syndrome’: Stay with your own kind…No Beavers with Aardvarks!
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene put her 3 cents in: “Now there’s a shortage of Tampons & that’s probably because men are buying Tampons”!
Me, I don’t have a dog in this fight – I haven’t seen blood since ‘Appomattox’! Yeah, I’m that old!
Stick with me fellas – there’s a happy ending. Not right away, but keep reading! haha
On Christmas morning I got my ‘Period’ for the 1st time!
Come back here!
I wanted a Bike!
Since those days, I’ve been writing Jokes about the whole feminine condition & my husband got the brunt of it!
When we first met I told him, “I retain water 28 out of 30 days – as a matter of fact – right now I have PBS”!
So he had his own Calendar & he rated me every day: ‘Bitchy from 1 to 10’!
And, I had to stop asking him to buy supplies for me – we were going broke!
With it he came back with macho things like razor blades, Tabasco & Drano!
No, my husband didn’t understand – he expected me to perform an Unnatural Act – Dinner!
Some of these I do just for me! haha
The truth is, I really only used a tampon once. In those days it was sort of an avant-garde product – used only by delicate flowers who went swimming, did the Tango or walked a block!
There’s a joke in there somewhere!
As I recall, I was a celebrity of sorts – the Insertion Process I experienced was written up in that year’s Medical Journal!
That’s right – wearing it all day gave me a headache that made ‘Bayer’ a Millionaire!
Then I found out first you have to remove the Cardboard! haha
So I say, if you’re gonna put a Vending Machine in a school bathroom, it has to be a ‘Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup’ dispenser!
That’s right! Every female who ever served time knows what we really crave during that time of the month is… Chocolate!
****
So – have I been living under a rock? It looks like I have like so many others. Having read what some boys did to those Dispensers, I think having them in boys bathrooms is not the answer – but finding other ways to have free Menstrual supplies available for everyone who needs it is!
I can’t list all the states, but in a 2022 U.S. Transgender Population Study, there seems to be a few apartment-seeking folk looking for a womb with a view!
California 150,000
MINNESOTA 26,000
Montana 3,400
