The law, which was passed in Minnesota last year, includes language requiring menstrual products to be available in bathrooms of all schools for grades 4 to 12 as a way to accommodate transgender students.
As part of their effort to portray Tim Walz, the new Democratic vice-presidential candidate, as a far-left liberal, the Trump campaign attacked the Minnesota governor on Tuesday for signing a bill last year that provides access to menstrual products for transgender students.
At issue is broadly inclusive language in the law, which states that products like pads, tampons and other products used for menstruation “must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” Republican state lawmakers in Minnesota had tried — and failed — to amend that bill so that it would apply only to “female restrooms,” though some Republicans went on to vote for the final version of bill.
Could they get out of kids pants and get to fixing the country?
oh god fucking forbid we help out adolescents who aren’t allowed to know about menstruation until they’re running to the bathroom crying and dripping blood
jfc i still can’t comprehend how GOP can possibly get worse every. fucking. day.
Then all the kids laugh at you and make you feel shame about basic bodily functions, just like Jesus would’ve wanted.
guilt, fear, and shame are pretty much baked into the foundation. no matter what you do, if you were born human, then you’re a sinner, and the only hope is jesus. all this make-believe crap works best when shoved down the throats of kids who dont know how to think for themselves yet. hence their rabid relentless tooth and nail battle to force jesus into public schools. it’s not enough to indoctrinate their own kids. they want yours too. also the jesus kids can bully the less than jesus kids without fear of consequence
As a kid, I had frequent nosebleeds. Both from natural causes and homophobic bullies. Tampons in the boys bathroom would have been great for me, and I’m not even trans.
For anyone who might need to hear this, plugging a nose bleed might be one of the worst ways to stop it. You have a high chance of ripping it back open when you remove the plug.
Pinch right under where the cartilage meets the bone for a full 60 seconds. Rinse and repeat until it stops.
Don’t tilt your head back either, as this causes the blood to pour into your stomach which can cause nausea and potentially vomiting (which can restart the bleed).
Source: used to get daily nosebleeds every winter for like 20 years.
You know, maybe I’m getting old but I remember a time when the Republican Party wasn’t running on a platform that consists of nothing but batshit crazy. I’ve never been a Republican but there was some semblance of sanity there and not this soup sandwich of bathrooms and genitals. Jfc.
Bruh, my political memory goes back to Iran Contra. They were always fucking insane, it’s just that they used to apply the thinnest veneer of normalcy. Newt Gingrich accelerated their unmasking.
Newt was most definitely an OG hypocrite, but hindsight makes everything even more clear: Nixon, Goldwater, McCarthy, Strom Thurmond, the list goes on.
All the problems going on in this nation and this planet yet their minds are hyper-fixated on the inside of children’s pants…that’s creepy as shit.
Bunch of fucking weirdos. Constantly whining about government overreach yet they are all up in everyone’s private parts, sexual orientation, and dictating how schools/parents/doctors should treat trans/intersex children as if these bunch of ignorant Trump cultists have any clue about the medical/mental needs of these children.
Pretty sure, we have a word for people who are fixated on children’s genitals.
I was going to say child molester, however Republican works just as well (page 50 out of 50).
