Why is Tampax on the woke list?

Fact: Not all women have periods. Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women. Let's celebrate the diversity of all people who bleed! 💙🎨: @gobeeharris #mythbusting #periodtruths #transisbeautiful pic.twitter.com/5s1416cZBw

Tampax creates tampons for women. Given the nature of their business, in solving specific problems with specific solutions. The science and engineering that goes into creating a product, and then the legal qualifications that have to be met are un imaginable.

Of all the people who, those who study women, what is a period, what causes them, which specific body parts, how to help deal with periods, where do tampons go, size, material, etc.. a host of things. We assume these people should be the ones defending (scientifically) what a woman is.

Yet, with all that research, they say not all who have periods are women. This surely should rattle confidence in their product.

Imagine you are flying across the Atlantic and the voice says “‘Morning ladies and gentlemen, this is your baggage handler speaking, not all those who fly planes are pilots. Enjoy your flight.”
