"menstruation doesn't belong to any one gender"

It does, however, belong to one and only one sex. Female.

The obnoxious TiFs with their brain dead whining about how they're "pregnant men" have a lot to answer for. Their narcissism is allowing Big Gender to destroy the rights of all other women, while they preen about how "spe-shal" they are for being women who aren't women but whoops - still menstruate and get pregnant. F them.

It's stiff competition with the TIMs though as to which is worse, where men fantasize openly about experiencing menstruation and childbirth and make snide, envious remarks about women who experience those things. It's as if men think their autogynephilia entitles them to have everyone pander to their fetishes.

Yeah, but when TiMs are open lunatics about their menstruation/child birth fetishes it turns people off. But TiFs pretending they're pregnant men for some reason are considered super-extra stunning and brave.

Don't all people bleed?

Also, of course, once men can menstruate then people start talking about menstrual leave. :P

Came here to say that. Men never have given a fuck before. Generations of women have sucked it up buttercup lol

I don't understand the disclaimer to protect trans or nonbinary from being outed at work. Non binary would be outed by virtue of being nonbinary. Trans is fairly obvious in most cases as well. The stated purpose is to reduce shame around menstruation so it can't be that. So is it female the want to avoid being outed as?

This is all a game within a game within a game and has absolutely nothing to do with actual human rights or feelings.

I'm starting to think that the master plan is to push more and more patent absurdity on us to such an extent that the chaos makes us give up on life and retreat further into ourselves/ virtual worlds.

Yeah, right? Since I was 11 I would have heavy periods and make huge messes on my clothes and feel ashamed, feared I stank, worried all day until I could go home and change. I had to RUN in phys ed class like that. There was no time off.

I remember the jokes that if MEN had periods, they'd get time off and special treatment. Is that what's coming here?

This reminds me of the Silicon Valley tech bros who reinvent things like buses and libraries. Menstrual leave? A benefit offered only to female people? Congratulations, genderspecials, you have discovered SEX-BASED RIGHTS!
