The hurdles some trans men and gender-nonconforming people who menstruate say they face include the high cost of period supplies, lack of access to the products, safety concerns and inadequate medical care.

Also

Some transgender and gender-nonconforming people who menstruate, like Jones, say when the products are categorized as women’s products, they can feel alienated — and may even avoid purchasing them altogether.

So the products ARE accessible, you just don't want to fucking use them because it's not in a color you like. ffs. All the other issues are faced by women, too, none of us like our periods! Of course I'd be happier if I didn't have to bleed like a murder victim five days a month every month, or constantly worry about if I've stained myself or if people can hear my mega overnight pad crinkling inside my jeans, or have cramps, or anything of the numerous things that transmen and nb "afab" people say doesn't "justify" them having periods!

Also this fucking paragraph is just delusion or sheer uneducatedness, or both, at its best

“I didn’t believe that having periods would be a part of my lived experience,” Jones told NBC News. “I felt isolated; everything about periods was tailored to girls, yet me, a boy, was experiencing this and nothing in the world documented that.”

Woody voice: YOU! ARE! A! WOMAN!!

You're still a fucking toy even if you think and believe you're a real space ranger!!

What a fucking first world problem. That's literally like a toddler having a tantrum.

"We don't have access to these products"

"But there's loads of them, right here!"

"I WON'T BUY THEM BECAUSE THERE'S A VENUS SYMBOL ON THE PACKAGE AND THIS TRIGGERS ME"

This is also extra disgusting knowing that there are countless homeless women & women in other countries who genuinely DON'T have access to menstrual products. This just reinforces my belief that transgender people are extreme narcissists, totally incapable of empathy and considering the feelings and problems of others.

Women have exactly the same problems (especially in second and thirdl world countries), why not think about women, hm?!

you just don't want to fucking use them because it's not in a color you like. ffs.

When in some countries women don't have any of those and locked into non-sanitarized "menstruation huts", they are here "I don't want to buy, because it is pink, and I want blue" and somehow they are talked about, but women who doesn't even have such luxury - are not having any problems in eyes of the Woke.

It's because they get harassed or feel embarassed/threatened for buying "women's products" while appearing/presenting male.

Re: feeling embarrassed/threatened: Then either "man up" and buy these basic necessities anyway, or DON'T and just bleed all over the damn place for all I care! Only please, for the love of GOD: shut up about yer precious fee-fees for ONCE! (Shouldn't flowery-type packaging be a perfect fit for fragile flowers like these guys?)

Re: getting harassed: Yeah; press X to doubt. Everyone will just assume (on the off-chance they even give a shit) that "he" is buying it for "his" girlfriend/wife/daughter as probably happens A MILLION TIMES A DAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. Cuz guess what? Ya don't hafta announce to the entire store "I'M BUYING THIS TO PLUG UP MY DUDE-VAG!!!"
