These poor men must bleed onto their man panties because they can't get maxi pads because it is in the womens' aisle, and the boxes have venus symbols on them, and purchasing these items would cause dysphoria because no one wants to be a stinky doo-doo face girl with cooties!

Meanwhile nobody gives a shit about the women in American prisons who don't have maxi pads and tampons, they have to bleed into a a sock or use toilet paper.

Right? When we say TRAs are too limited by traditional gender roles they don't accept it. Yet they're so limited by traditional gender roles that a product not being marketed to their "gender" becomes a huge issue.

Meanwhile I, a cis man, have bought products and even clothings from women's sections. And somehow this never made my gender change!

Right? I regularly buy boxer briefs from the men’s section to sleep in and men’s soap and shaving cream. It doesn’t give me any kind of distress.

I've always wondered, people accuse manufacturers of having a "pink tax" on soap, creams, and the like advertised specifically to women. Is this legit manufacturers selling the same product with a markup or is there actually a difference that warrants a price discrepancy? I've never bought "women's" stuff becuase I always go for the cheaper generic brand version, which is usually not marketed to any sex or gender

There really isn't a difference, and when there is, the price difference doesn't make sense. Let's look at razors. I find that not only are men's razors cheaper but they also cut closer to the skin without damaging it. I never buy female razors because of the price and limited range/ability to shave. Men's underwear is also usually cheaper too, made of softer material than most women's underwear, and more comfortable even when there is a women's equivalent (boyshorts are usually shorter than men's trunks which cover a lot more and are more flexible).

Sometimes there’s little to no difference and sometimes the men’s product is better. The 99¢ shaving cream I get from the men’s section in Target is the same as the $4 women’s shaving cream. The $4 deodorant I get for the gym smells “manly,” but it works way better than the $7 ultra-strength women’s version. My fiancée will only buy men’s socks because they’re almost always double the thickness of women’s socks. When I need basic canvas sneakers, I get a pair from the boy’s section (feet are too small for men’s) because they’re usually made better than the women’s ones and look the same.

Wait, so not only are the women's products not better, but they're worse than the cheaper versions!? That's absurd!

A lot of times they’re pretty much like the generic just with fancier smells and packaging.

The boy's section is truly a blessing. I'm short and thin as a rail so there is no way I could fit into a man's jeans without them hanging off of me like a potato sack. But I fit into boy jeans just fine.

Sorry lady, but according to the new trans friendly and inclusive government guidelines, you are now legally and morally a mAn! That's a FaCt. Now accept it and embrace your new non binary identity!

Damn. You’re right. It turns out my fiancée is no longer a lesbian. She’s now pan sexual
