ACLU demands tampons in men’s bathrooms for ‘menstrual justice’

The left-leaning American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is demanding that tampons be provided in men’s public restrooms, ostensibly to prevent discrimination against “every person who menstruates.”

In a statement released on Tuesday, the ACLU called for eliminating sales tax on feminine hygiene products and declared, “While free menstrual products are not uniformly provided in women’s restrooms, they are almost never available in men’s restrooms, even for pay.” The group suggested that men are able to menstruate, arguing that it is not a “full or accurate portrayal” to affirm the fact that only women “menstruate, get pregnant, or breastfeed.”

Back in November, on “International Men’s Day,” the ACLU issued a similarly gender-bending statement, declaring on social media: “Men who get pregnant and give birth are men.” In 2015, the ACLU argued that boys who claim to be girls should be allowed to use high school locker rooms and restrooms reserved for girls. It stated, “A transgender girl is a girl.”

According to Tuesday’s statement, “[m]enstrual stigma and period poverty can hit trans and non-binary people particularly hard.”

Sales tax on feminine hygiene products is, the ACLU asserted,  “sexist” and “irrational” and directly affect “cis and trans women, trans men, and non-binary people.” It concluded, “It’s unfair, unconstitutional, and illegal.” LGBT activists apply the word “cisgender” to the vast majority of people who acknowledge and accept their sex, as opposed to “transgender” people who do not.
