Why have tampons in men bathrooms?

Why have tampons in men bathrooms?

Because Transgender men, intersex men and gender diverse people who maybe in men's spaces, who menstruate might be using it. I was initially puzzled by this myself until I realized.

Trans men are born women and have or still transitioning from woman to man. Some Trans men might not opt for the surgery (downstairs) for various reasons such as health risks or costs...etc. Some trans men might be still waiting for their surgery while they are on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), in this case they are on Testosterone and Estrogen blockers. These trans men could still menstruate thus they will need tampons.

gender diverse people tend to strategically avoid uncomfortable spaces, a reason why u don't meet them in common spaces often. But inclusive steps such as tampons in mens spaces will help everyone feel welcome and considered.

LGBTQ+ explained in layman's terms and extremely simplified PodCast #11

Introduction : This article is written in the opinion of isydia. To see Kissra’s opinions and views, look for her articles labeled “Kissra” under PodCast #11 Life is about having experiences that align with your personal being. Embracing diversity enriches our collective experience; a world filled only with reflections of oneself would lack the vibrancy and depth that diverse perspectives bring. Life becomes more fulfilling when we engage with people who aren't carbon copies of ourselves, fostering personal growth and expanding our understanding. Therefore, I will not intentionally make someone’s life more difficult simply because their life differs from mine. Having said the above, if some individuals happen to be attracted to someone of the same sex or who identifies with a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth, I would say power to them. This article will be heavily simplified and will be mainly geared towards people who are  straight hetrosexuals  with co...

Guns and the citizens that own them - PodCast #17

Introduction : I am writing this article because many people on social media asked me about my views concerning guns, if I’m pro or against government gun control.  People in Canada and USA are passionate about the subject and generally they have a made up viewpoint about guns, leaving a very few minority who are neutral or don’t have an opinion about the subject. Every time I try to ask questions about the subject I get idiotic responses filled with insults by both sides telling me how stupid I am thinking this way or the other way. Perhaps I’m writing this article in order to avoid insults in a civilized discussion about an important subject.  Thesis : Whenever I think about whether the government should ban guns or allow law abiding citizens to own them for self defense against criminals who do not follow the rules nor care about gun control; I always ask the question: Why do people think guns are a bad thing and not the humans who are using them? Especially when criminal...
