Remember: It's important we don't refer to women as women because it's hurtful
to men who think they are women. What's hurtful to women is irrelevant. What's
important is that women work to make men who think they are women happy.

Any questions, from the menstruators in the group?

It sounds like whoever wrote the article thinks that the math requires
multiplication – thousands of tampons times 500 years when of course it’s
concurrent not consecutive.

I couldn't get past the implication of REUSABLE to be bothered by
refusal to use the word "woman". Are they fucking kidding?

Any garbage properly disposed of it not an environmental hazard. It
doesn't matter how long it takes to decompose.

I saw a livestream of a conversation with Yaniv and Blaire White once -
the one in which Yaniv brandished a taser - and Yaniv claimed to be a
menstruator. White was skeptical. Then Yaniv moved some garments
slightly off camera and produced a menstrual pad containing some fluid.
(This despite Yaniv apparently still having a penis at the time.) The
remarkable thing about the pad was that the fluid on the pad was BLUE,
not red. At least that's how it appeared in the lighting at Yaniv's
apartment. Neither of them remarked on the colour though and I've been
perplexed ever since about why.

Was this all some kind of shout out to Blue Bloods? Do some menstruators
bleed blue? Do people who've had successful male-to-female "bottom
surgery" menstruate at all? Do they menstruate blue blood?
