A feminine hygiene products company is removing the symbol for female from its packaging in order to be more inclusive toward “transgender” and “non-binary” customers. Seriously.
Via CBS News:
Always is officially removing the Venus female symbol from the packing of its menstruation products. The announcement follows pleas from LGBTQ activists to make the labeling more inclusive of transgender and non-binary customers.
“For over 35 years Always has championed girls and women, and we will continue to do so,” the brand’s parent company Procter & Gamble said in a statement. “We’re also committed to diversity & inclusion and are on a continual journey to understand the needs of all of our consumers.”
The packaging change will happen starting in 2020, a spokesperson told CBS News.
“We routinely assess our products, packaging, and designs,” P&G said. “We take into account a broad array of factors, including feedback from consumers, to ensure we are meeting the needs of everyone who uses our products. The change to our pad wrapper design is consistent with that practice, and will be adapted by multiple markets at various dates.”
Another sign that our country has gone bat-crap crazy over this whole ‘transgender’ garbage. It follows tweets like this:
tw// periods
hi @Always i understand that you guys love girl positivity but please understand that there are trans men that get periods, and if you could please do something about the ♀️symbol on your pad packaging, i’d be happy. i’d hate to have any trans males feel dysphoric.

Next think you know they are going to be saying men can have babies. Oh wait, they’ve already done that.
