Conservatives are seeing red over a new Oregon law that requires menstrual products to also be offered inside boys’ bathrooms in the state’s public schools.
In July 2021, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed the controversial “Menstrual Dignity Act,” which requires all K-12 schools to provide free sanitary products to students, along with instructions on their use.
“Starting next year (2022-2023), products will be available in all restrooms (male, female and all-gender) in every PPS building where education occurs,” the Portland school district said in a 2021 statement.
“To ensure timely compliance, PPS ordered 500 dispensers. Dispensers have been installed in all elementary and middle school girls’ restrooms, and more will be installed in all remaining bathrooms, including boys’ restrooms, next year,” the statement claims.
“Instructions on how to use tampons and pads will be posted in all bathrooms,” the statement added.
The Beaver State’s district also encouraged parents to talk to their kids about reducing the “shame and stigma” surrounding getting their periods, according to the network.
In March, the state Education Department also issued a “Menstrual Dignity for Students” tool kit containing instructions on how to use menstrual products and tips for “menstruation-positive” language for families.
“Importantly, [the Menstrual Dignity Act] affirms the right to menstrual dignity for transgender, intersex, nonbinary, and two spirit students by addressing the challenges that some students have managing menstruation while minimizing negative attention that could put them at risk of harm and navigating experiences of gender dysphoria during menstruation,” part of the kit’s introduction read.
“Research also connects gender-affirming bathroom access to supporting student safety at school,” it added.
Meanwhile, a video posted by the Libs of TikTok apparently shows a tampon dispenser inside a boys’ bathroom.
The new law has incurred the wrath of Republicans, including Oregon gubernatorial candidate and conservative writer Bridget Barton, who slammed Brown.
“Has anyone considered the trauma girls will experience when boys run up & down hallways, waving tampons & pantomiming insertion?” a Twitter user reportedly wrote.
“Ridiculing girls at their most vulnerable is NOT dignity,” the user added.
Marc Siegel, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Education, told The Post that “the intention is that all students have an understanding of menstruation as a positive part of human development, without shame or stigma.”
The goal of the legislation “is that all menstruating students have the right to access the products that they need, whenever they need them. This is important for everyone, so that all students, including those who are transgender, intersex, non-binary, or two spirit, in all grades, can access their education without barriers,” he said in an email Friday.
The tool kit “centers on inclusivity, education, and privacy so that all menstruating students have access to dignified self care. It provides best practices for staff engagement, student and community engagement, as well as resources for providing menstrual health education that is positive, celebratory, and not shame based,” Siegel added.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!! OREGON has lost it !!!
What Anifa folks want, more plugs and pads to cause trouble with.
Really this is what is governing? These liberal leftists have lost their minds!
What idiot thinks someone in kindergarten would have a period?! Besides, if you have a period that should be self explanatory what gender you actually are.
How f**king STUPID is Kate Brown, or have the liberals just lost their collective minds.
Just watch the boys scatter all the Tampax, Pads, and whatever else you put in the boy’s
bathroom along with the waste, I bet it will be creative.
Only the left could come up with a name like The Menstrual Dignity Act.🤣
Why so they can have them sticking out their noses and teasing girls with them. It’s not going to bring dignity it’s going to bring embarrassment and shame to girls
It’s stupid and majorly ridiculous…yes
I just can’t see how that will “shame or embarrass” anyone other than those that may act juvenile with the products…
This is pathetic. What are the boys supposed to do?? Shove them up their butt?? The left has completely lost their mind s.
Sure, put menstrual products in the boys’ bathrooms, but a kid can’t even take their own cough drops to school without them being confiscated and doled out only at class breaks even with a parental note.
First of all… Transgender students do not menstruate unless they are FEMALE. Non binary students with a vagina are FEMALE. Female 2 Spirits are still FEMALE. I have yet to figure out the “intersex” thing, unless they mean morphodites… and I’ll bet there aren’t ANY in that school district… This is complete lunacy. Let’s see how many dispensers are ripped off the wall and thrown away by MALES who aren’t keen on having this trash pushed on them…
They are not called “the looney left” without reason.
What’s next, condom machines? With instructions on how to use them, of course.
I didn’t think liberals could get any more stupid but they proved me wrong. Males do not need those products, period. Pun intended. What those kids are going to do is soak the tampons in alcohol or some kind of drug and shove em up their ass so they can be high all day. I predict deaths by overdose. Way to go liberals
And now we understand why Oregon is the Beaver state.
We have lost our ever loving minds in America to allow these idiots to do the things they do
How stupid is this …person. Why in the boys restroom?????. See what happen when liberals-communist-democrats are in power. They don’t have common sense and how the hell are they taken in their hands the future of millions of American citizens. They agenda is destroy America from inside
This is the most stupid , ass a nine thing to be done. I do believe the Libs have totally gone insane…do they
not understand that “the males” do NOT have periods? Plus, naming it the Dignity Act is totally ridiculous.
I just shake my head when I see crap like this..instead of concentrating on the “real” problems in our nation,
these so called politicians, representatives spend their days doing nothing but dreaming up stupid things.
There are females and there are males. The delusional rest are mutations that happened before birth. The dem terrorists are deliberately doing everything to destroy this country. Why are they allowed to live to murder and destroy more every day. It needs to happen
Comedy Central 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is insanity!
I wish they would focus on the homeless and hungry people as much as they do this dumb ass shit. Wtf🤬🤬
