MACDONALD “Menstrual Equity”

The progressive industrial complex, by its nature, looks for ways to justify non-productive use of tax dollars. It justifies the creation of institutions (agencies) staffed with people on a taxpayer payroll whose primary interest is almost always keeping their jobs. And what better way than inventing rights you are then obligated to protect. That’s the government’s job, after all.

The June 17 event, which is set to be held at the Copley branch of the Boston Public Library, will feature a discussion of “menstrual equity” as well as what it describes as “transgender experiences with menstruation.”

A Tuesday social media post includes images of a pink tampon and a blue menstrual pad, along with notice that it was supported by the mayor’s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement.

“Join MASS NOW and the MA Trans Political Coalition for a consciousness-raising discussion on menstrual equity and the experiences of trans menstruators,” the announcement states.

“Catered dinner and free period underwear provided to all attendees,” it adds, offering freebies to those who show up.

City resources, City sponsorship, City promotion.

“The Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement develops policies, community-oriented programming, and provides resources for the City’s diverse LGBTQIA2S+ community,” the office’s website reads, mixing in a veritable can of alphabet soup.

Boston voted for this, then voted for it again, and as the saying goes, you get what you vote for, but seriously? Men lack the biological bits to menstruate, nor can science provide them. There is no right to menstruation, nor should tax dollars be spent on awareness campaigns pretending it can.

And yes, women pretending to be men can menstruate, which, trigger warning, means they are not men; they are women.

And while we’re at it, let’s not waste the opportunity.

Why don’t Democrats, Mayor Wu, or her office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement explain that trans surgeries reduce sexual sensitivity, neuter their patients, and in the most extreme cases make them incapable of sexual pleasure or orgasm? There’s no right to orgasm, but if your agenda deliberately makes it impossible, should they be made aware of that?

The drugs are dangerous; you have to take them forever; you will likely be on SSRIs forever as well, which are likewise high-risk; and there are complex surgical complications, including chronic pain, infection, and even death.

Mayor Wu’s office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement ought to have some obligation to inform interested parties that there is a growing body of research which suggests that most Trans treatments do not reduce depression or suicidal ideation and may increase it. You will not suddenly feel like your target gender, nor will you experience acceptance by yourself or any community.

How about how transgender “therapy, drugs, and surgery are actually conversion therapy, which Mayor WU’s office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement likely not only opposes but would sue to prevent if it were anything but the often-irreversible conversions they advocate.

What you are doing is harming people, often permanently, to advance the political agenda of creating victims so you can create and fund more non-productive extra-constitutional government, in the name of their advocacy.

Need will rise to meet the amount of taxpayer funds provided to alleviate it. And then there’s “transgender experiences with menstruation.”

You might as well hold a seminar on Elected Democrat experiences with affordable government.

Neither of them is an actual thing.
