I know this because I've taken time over the past twenty years to listen to my trans friends, and understanding that a big part of it was having it in locker rooms in schools - because when the girls team travels to an away event, they use the boys locker room at the the school, because the home team uses the girls' room.
But here's the thing with folks on both sides of the border - it's just a distraction. It's the shiny toy to get frothed up about so they can't see that what used to be known as conservatives are no longer so, especially when it comes to fiscal policy.
How the eff does having menstrual products in a boys/men's affect any male that doesn't need them? Other than understanding that someone needs them, or that trans people exist. That's it.
Yeesh.

I know you're serious about this, but for whatever reason the only thing that came to my mind was...you know those condom dispensers they have in gas station bathrooms?
Its like...alright! Maybe I'm getting lucky tonight! But no human in their right mind would buy one of those. They are liable to turn to dust the second you open the package because they've probably been in there since the Nixon administration.
So now you have to decide whether you want to roll those dice.
So I'm thinking about the poor girl looking at the tampon dispenser in the boy's bathroom and....she's gotta be desperate and thats a real 'Sophie's Choice.'
"How old are those? How long have they been there?"
That kind of thing.
