The Liberal Democrats are to discuss a policy highlighting the impact of menstruation on trans and non-binary individuals, pushing for accessible period products and inclusive menstrual education. The Telegraph has the story.
Menstruation is “not just a women’s issue”, Liberal Democrat activists have said in a motion chosen to be debated at their party conference next month.
Sir Ed Davey’s party will vote on a policy proposal that insists period poverty is an issue that affects “some trans and non-binary people” in addition to biological women.
An agenda published by the Liberal Democrats for their annual gathering in Bournemouth includes a motion on period poverty which is to be debated on September 23rd.
The document states: “Conference notes that… menstruation is not just a women’s issue, and also affects some trans and non-binary people.
“Conference believes that period products are a human right, not a luxury; nobody should experience period poverty; England’s current free period product provision is not fit for purpose; [and] it is in everyone’s interests for stigma around periods to be addressed.”
The motion proceeds to call on the Government to introduce a right for people to access a choice of free period products, place a duty on councils and schools to make period products freely available and introduce “comprehensive education on periods… to ensure an appreciation for the lived experience of menstruation”. …
In a webpage on the Liberal Democrat website entitled ‘transphobia’, the party reiterates its support for people being able to self-identify as their preferred gender without a medical certificate.
“Trans people may describe themselves using one or more of a variety of terms. Trans people are not required to have undergone any medical or social transition to be considered trans,” it says.

Free this, free that, Whats the next thing we can give away…?
Giving tampons to a man who thinks he is a woman has as much sense as teaching my cat to drive.
It’s easy to get confused by these re-definitions but I’m fairly sure that the tampons are intended for women who think they are men.
But what about the men who think they are women? Don’t they get a look-in? What are you, some kind of transphobe?
I’ve mentioned this before: At the Lyric Theatre in Belfast (a theatre I’m fond of and frequently attend) since last year they’ve had free tampons on display in the men’s toilets, but none in any of the three disabled toilets, I’ve checked out of curiosity several times when I’ve been there.
So the powers-that-be at the Lyric Theatre must think that men using the men’s toilet are more likely to need free tampons than disabled people using the disabled toilets!
It clearly hasn’t occurred to them that some trans men may be disabled!
That was a joke, by the way, in case anyone misunderstands. It clearly hasn’t occurred to them that some women under the age of menopause may be disabled.
Are there women who pretend to think they are men? Do they take testosterone and get willies grafted onto them? You don’t hear much about them.
Apparently there are a lot of girls who are self-identifying as boys. I don’t have any statistics, but it may occur in clusters. I’m sure you’ve heard of chest binders and surgery to remove the breasts of women who think they’re not women.
Yes
Do they get willies grafted onto them and take hormones or do they just content themselves with looking like tomboys or bulldykes?
The mentally ill pervert Tranny may self identify as said cat….and need his rabies shot which I would happily give myself….
It sounds as if the Lib Dem policy is based on the very old, and therefore totally non PC joke about a rather dim South African, Mr Van de Merwe sending in a complaint to the company. “Dear Mr Tampax, I have been using your product for a number of years now but I still cannot swim, play tennis, or ride a horse”
Good one
Classically educated man lose the plot should be the headline
Educated??!!
This whole trans cult thing sickens me on multiple levels. The targeting and overt grooming of kids and vulnerable young people being a major aspect. This article illustrates how the cult can ruin kids’ lives and this excerpt is an example of another aspect which sickens me to the core, graphic details aside. It demonstrates that the mother is in the driving seat with all of this horror show. The mother is the one who is mentally ill and is responsible for the horrific damage subsequently done to her kid. No reasonable, mentally stable parent behaves like this woman and what she’s done is criminal. Make up your own minds but kids are being damaged beyond repair and it’s all legal.
”Jazz’s penis has been sliced apart and inverted inside a hole that’s been carved out between his rectum and his prostate. It’s taken three agonising operations to give him his fauxgina. After the ops, this wound masquerading as female genitalia has to be kept open by dilation for the rest of his life – essentially, using a dildo to stop it sealing. It’s apparently very painful. In a notable scene, in series six of I Am Jazz, Jeanette revealed to friends that she often had to bully Jazz into doing his dilation: ‘I have woken Jazz from a dead sleep and taken the dilator and put lubrication on it and said, “Here, you take this and put it in your vagina. If not, I will.”’ Maternal love, eh?
Jazz’s physical problems go deeper still. He has been on puberty blockers since the age of 11. These drugs stop the normal process of development that happens during puberty, such as the growth of genitals. So when it was time to do his ‘sex change’ surgery, his surgeon discovered Jazz’s penis was tiny. The vaginoplasty was invented for adults with adult-sized genitals, not boys who had never gone through puberty.”

Sickening.
This used to be called Munchausen by proxy… All healthcare, social services & frontline police used to be trained to identify this with clear guidelines on how to report & protect the child.
What the living F- ck is happening !!! Mention the N-zis & you’ll start a shit storm but these so called doctors are carrying on where Mengele left off !!!
But I wonder if all this might be a bright notion to help, show solidarity and inclusivity, encouraging all the brave British people who come from Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and elsewhere, when they get an old razor blade and perform clitoradectomies on their little girls?
I worry, however, that it might be cultural misappropriation.
Wouldn’t your average Muslim be advocating flying lessons from the top of very tall buildings for anyone who considers themselves Trans-anything though?
I wonder how Ed and the Lib-dems will manage to conflate those two opposing views together?
The LoonyDems obviously feel a need to remind us just how mad they really are.
At least they are upfront in their madness. The Tories are far more devious in that they deny with their lips what they are quietly doing with their hands.
How do these Morons get in positions to spout this crap
Thicker people vote for them.
50% of the great unwashed are of, or below, average intelligence.
I don’t think those are the people who vote Lib Dem. Most people I know who vote or are likely to vote Lib Dem have above average IQs.
Could one or more of the six (so far) rude/lazy downtickers explain what they disagree in my post? State your arguments or get lost.
Only a retard votes for this type of crap – and for illiberal undemocrats. Sorry your friends are by def retards.
I suppose it depends what you mean by “intelligence”. The kind of “intelligence” that would lead you to conclude that voting Lib Dem was a really bad idea isn’t the kind that is usually measured and talked about when people refer to “average intelligence”.
I’m not sure why you’ve been downticked for this – it is absolutely my own experience. (Sorry posted this before I saw that you too had noticed this anomaly!)
As I said in my other post, I suppose it depends what is meant by “intelligence”. If you’re talking about political intelligence then I would agree that voting LD is a sign you’re below average, but that’s not the way the word “intelligence” is generally used, especially when talking about “averages” which normally refer to IQ based definitions of intelligence. You can dispute the validity or relevance of those, but the fact remains that lots of people that are considered “intelligent” by society support what I consider to be idiotic political positions.
Just consider for a moment how, whilst trousering £18,000 per year for giving “advice” to a solar energy company, “Sir Potato Ed” Davey boasted that he had “Banned” fracking.
He achieved this despite the fact that British investors proposed to establish an industry producing vast amounts of non- weather dependent, dispatchable energy without taxpayer’s money and indeed paying punitive taxation, at their own risk and following the US companies that have successfully fracked 2 million gas and oil wells.
How did Davey achieve this? By limiting seismicity to a level similar to the effect of a sparrow farting whilst every other activity producing ground vibration (including fracking for geothermal) has a Seismic intensity over 3000 times as great in energy terms set as a level of ‘concern’ as it might rattle a teacup. Just as entirely natural tremors frequently do anyway.
The man is a venal and malicious charlatan.
The (still[*]) wife of my brother would certainly belong to this group. She’s a university professor (of geology, I think) and possibly competent in her field (I’m certainly not qualified to judge this). Apart from that, she’s a 100% go-with-the-flow lefty (German variant) who has outsourced all of her thinking to her political betters. Nevertheless, it’s absolutely certain that she also managed to score above average in a so-called IQ test at some point in time in the past. That doesn’t mean her theoretical intelligence will ever practically manifest itself, especially as she also has a serious anger problem and considers tactlessness a virtue. Intelligent people are humble because they’re all too aware of their many limitations.
[*] As that’s such a nice illustration of modern times: The last thing I heard of that was the she threw her husband out of the family home overnight on the grounds that it would really be her house as she’s the main earner of the family and he is mostly just allowed to do housekeeping and childcare for her.
“outsourced all of her thinking” I like that phrase. She sounds like a lot of people I know. They think they are thinking, but their thinking seems limited to categorising people as Good (like them) or Bad.
Your brother’s wife is a classic example of a lot of academics. They score highly on the functional intelligence measured by an IQ test but zero on emotional intelligence. The humble ones score highly on emotional intelligence.
It is beyond me how anyone who votes for any establishment party can consider themselves as intelligent?
I think you need to define what you mean by intelligence. While you’re never going to get 100% agreement as to exactly what it means, the generally understand meaning refers to cognitive ability measured by things like verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities. You can argue that’s a narrow definition, but that’s what the word is generally taken to mean.
That is a perfect definition of intelligence that suitably accommodates my proposition.
Most people I know vote for mainstream parties and would be generally considered intelligent.
VOMIT
This is just an outwardly gross example of He who pays the piper calls the tune. Labour demonstrably adopts policies in response to donations by interested parties. The Lib Dems ought to be even more susceptible to that. A good antidote would be to require parties to always publish the names of the sponsors of policies they’ve chosen to adopt. This would at least give a clear picture of who really rules so-called democracies.
And that is why the Lib Dumbs are seen as a fringe party of nutters
Among the middle class “intelligensia” that I know, all metropolitan “liberals”, the Lib Dems, along with the Greens, are seen as the acceptable alternative to voting Labour, by “goodthink” people who would rather die than vote Tory.
These people are delusional, certifiably deranged. The taxpayer should not be funding their salaries.
While raising the issue of period poverty is laudable in itself, making it an issue because it now affects a small group of people who would be better served with good mental health support is atrocious. Didn’t think it was an issue when it was ‘just’ a women’s problem, did they? Utterly disgraceful.
I’d very much prefer if so-called politicians had policies on something political, ie, affecting the general public, say, rail strikes, than them trying to creep ever more deeper into people’s intimate lifes. People affected by period poverty doubtlessly suffer from all kinds of other poverties as well, as that’s just code language for being too poor to be able to afford decent lives. But people dying because they can’t afford heating their homes in winter, not the least due to so-called green policies is at odds with the general trajectory of politics and – important point – of no interest to rich, toilet-fixated peverts.
But if you’d welcome to have CCTV installed on your toilet so that everything happening their can be live-streamed to some regulatory authority tasked with ensuring toilet property of people who haven’t yet died of hypothermia, you’re free to install one for as long as I’m free to opt out of receiving the live stream.
“Do not vote for us” say Lib-Dems, “we don’t think public problems in need of political solutions which transcends what some people do on the toilet exist. Consequently, we have nothing political on offer. And now, let’s please talk something that’s much more interesting to us — toilets!”
“Sir Ed Davey” who?
“Around 262,000 people (0.5%) said their gender identity and sex registered at birth were different.
Not all of those 262,000 people identified explicitly as transgender. Around 48,000 people (0.1%) gave their identity as ‘trans man’ and another 48,000 (0.1%) gave their identity as ‘trans woman’.”
The above from the 2021 Census.
So, the Lib Dims are to debate an issue – menstruation – for a cohort of 48,000 people for whom menstruation is actually a physical impossibility. And within the 48,000 my bet is no more than 10% would seriously believe that they needed to use menstrual products – barking mad though that be.
The only conclusion to be drawn is that ALL those Lib Dims partaking in this motion have got serious mental health issues themselves and should be referred immediately for a mental health assessment. These people are off the scale unhinged.
Or put another way:
The Lib Dims intend discussing a non existent problem for less than 5,000 people who think they have a problem which in reality is in itself a physical impossibility.
What Firkin planet am I on?
Planet Money can make the world go round in any direction. This topic is also hotly discussed (every now and then) by backbenchers of the current ruling party in Germany (SPD).
Just a couple of points, ONS currently reports UK population at 67.1m, therefore 262k makes that 0.3% of the overall population with the 48k representing 0.07% and the last 5k is 0.007%.
Therefore, you are absolutely bang on when you say that this bunch of mentalists are going to waste their time ‘debating’ a non-issue that could affect 0.007% of the population, whilst the other 99.993% are asking WTAF?
Absolutely. Thanks.
He is actually correct that menstruation is a whole society issue but not for the reason he cites. If women of childbearing age have had their menstruation & fertility mucked up, then the future generation of children or lack thereof is a huge issue for society. We need healthy children born to healthy men & women who are able to see through all of the grooming, the propaganda, the dumbing down of education to rebuild a viable & robust society.
This whole mucked up agenda is about getting to the children & grooming them into their sick cult. It is up to us to defend the children.
Goodbye Mr Davey
I wanted to post about tampons being issued to the military as an emergency gunshot wound treatment and came across this 10 survival uses for a tampon – AR15.COM. Hope it informs and entertains.
Going back to the ancient days after I had graduated as a Civil and Structural Engineer, a couple of my University mates went off to Qatar in the Gulf, earning big bucks spending the Emir’s oil revenues on enormous engineering projects.
After a bit of home- leave, I noted they were taking back to work, not tampons but the olf fashioned Dr.Whites sanitary towels.
Repurposed as a device worn on the forehead with the string loops around the earholes.
Just the job, apparently, to keep the sweat from running down their face when taking theodolite readings.
Back in 2019 I downloaded the Lib Dems Manifesto for the General election. In it there was something about having mixed gender toilets in all childrens schools. Or no gender toilets etc. I wrote a long letter to Lib Dem HQ complaining about that policy. I told ’em that I had in the past voted Lib Dem and also delivered leaflets for them. I said that because of that policy I would never vote for them again. Seems they want to do over the same stuff again & again expecting a different result. Still not gonna vote for them!!
Another hopefully brief period of insanity, which should be cured by a good, solid motion
Brilliant.
Face facts.
If a complete numptie like “Sir Potato Ed” Davey can self identify, against all the evidence, as a person who could one day be the Prime Minster of the UK, and get many Limp Dim folk and Media people to accept this nonsense as a fact, then surely everyone must be compelled to believe anything, so long as it is fashionably woke.
I accept that no Political “Leader” in 30 years has been much better. But Davey?
When will we reach Peak Stupid?
Geoff Pullar Lancashire and England batted in a Test Match in India with a Tampax up his bottom. Presumably the previous night’s curry didn’t agree with him. I believe he got 99* and saved the match for England.
