    Lawmakers Stump for ‘National Period Day’: People Don’t Have Access to Menstrual Products Due to ‘Gender Identity’

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...nder-identity/

    HANNAH BLEAU 19 Oct 2019

    Several lawmakers — including a handful of 2020 Democrat candidates — are recognizing National Period Day in order to elevate “the issue of period poverty,” lamenting that it is “outrageous” that some “people” do not have access to basic menstrual products due to their gender identity.

    Saturday, October 19, 2019, marked the first-ever National Period Day:

    Organizers planned events across the country and encouraged activists to spread awareness online by using the hashtags #NationalPeriodDay and #PeriodPower. A few 2020 Democrat candidates took their cues.

    “In detention centers and in prisons, in big cities and small towns, women across America don’t have access to the period products they need,” former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D) wrote, urging men to “join women in demanding real change”:

    @BetoORourke

    In detention centers and in prisons, in big cities and small towns, women across America don’t have access to the period products they need. On #NationalPeriodDay, men need to join women in demanding real change—which is why I’m supporting the Menstrual Equity Act.

    “Too many people don’t have access to basic health needs like menstrual products,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) wrote, musing that some do not have proper access to menstrual products due to “gender identity”:

    @CoryBooker
    Too many people don't have access to basic health needs like menstrual products. Whether due to lack of income, incarceration or gender identity, it's outrageous. Join @periodmovement for #NationalPeriodDay on 10/19 & support the fight for menstrual equity http://nationalperiodday.com

    National Period Day — PERIOD.
    On October 19, 2019, we will rally in all 50 states in honor of the world’s first #NationalPeriodDay -- elevating the issue of period poverty and demanding real change to making period products more...

    “Every day, people are forced to choose between going to school or work, or staying home because they can’t afford the menstrual products they need,” presidential hopeful Julián Castro (D) wrote, calling for pads, tampons, and cups to be “tax-free”:

    Other lawmakers jumped into the mix as well, expressing support.

    “#DidYouKnow 1 in 5 American girls have missed school because they did not have period products,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) wrote. “#Menstrual #justice is #education justice. It’s time to end #periodpoverty now by passing #ME4ALL! #NationalPeriodDay”:

    This lawmaker pushed the Trump administration to put tampons in prisons. She isn’t stopping there

    Rep. Grace Meng, known as "the period lady," is "shocked" by the success she's had expanding access to tampons under the Trump administration.

    Period Poverty Is Real but the Idea That Only Women Have Periods Isn’t
    On the first National Period Day, we need to think beyond the incorrect idea that periods are just for women.

    1 yr ago members could use congressional funds to buy “executive tissue holders” but not tampons for staff. I fought to change this policy & got them covered.

    Period products never were – & never will be – a luxury item. #Periodpoverty is plain wrong. #NationalPeriodDay

    According to the organization’s website, rallies across the country are “just the beginning” of the movement.

    “This is a year long campaign to nationally elevate the issue of period poverty with clear policy demands for freely accessible period products in schools, shelters, and prisons, and to eliminate the tampon tax in the remaining states,” it explains.

    When will they have National Idiot's Day?

    They are only for "National" anything when it is some off-the-wall idiocy.

    You must learn to "love" Big Brother. I see a government subsidy looming for this.

    We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!
