'JD Vance Is Weird,' Says Guy Who Signed Bill To Put Tampons In Boys' School Bathrooms
MANKATO, MN — The race for the White House intensified today with the announcement of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's running mate, including Walz coming out swinging against his opponent for the second-highest office in the country, Ohio senator and Trump running mate J.D. Vance.

MANKATO, MN — The race for the White House intensified today with the announcement of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's running mate, including Walz coming out swinging against his opponent for the second-highest office in the country, Ohio senator and Trump running mate J.D. Vance.

Walz took aim at Vance with a searing insult, referring to the Ohio senator as "weird" and not at all as normal like Walz, who recently signed a bill into state law that put tampons in boys' school bathrooms.

"J.D. Vance is such a weirdo!" Walz said after telling one of his aides to make sure all boys' restrooms remained fully stocked with feminine products. "Look at him with his lovely wife and beautiful children! Such a backward way to live life, am I right? Leave it to Donald Trump to choose a total whackjob like J.D. Vance. I hear he even goes to a church that doesn't stock little boy tampons! Can you believe that? Weirdo!"

Vance, who was a U.S. Marine, best-selling author, and venture capitalist before entering politics, now faces an uphill battle against being labeled "weird" by a man who insisted on making tampons available in boys' school bathrooms, adopted radical transgender treatment laws for children, and governs a state that allows babies who survive abortions to be killed outside the womb. "Vance is just so far out of the mainstream," Walz said. "Once people learn about his totally weird, extremist values, he'll be in trouble. He's so totally weird!"

At publishing time, Walz was preparing to host a furry drag queen story hour for children at the governor's mansion.

Walz, who recently signed a bill into state law that put tampons in boys' school bathrooms.

Just wondering. Does anyone care that the law doesn’t say that? Here’s the full text of the law:

Minnesota Statutes, Section 121A.212 Access to Menstrual Products
A school district or charter school must provide students with access to menstrual products at no charge. The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district. For purposes of this section, "menstrual products" means pads, tampons, or other similar products used in connection with the menstrual cycle.

There’s nothing in there about boys. A product is provided for those who need it. If you don’t need a tampon, don’t take one.

Well, that sorta puts a damper on the hissy fitters, now doesn't it. Wonder if they are aware that they are sold in convenience stores and one doesn't need to prove gender to purchase them ?

The "must provide" part is important....

I don't know if the writers of this rule had thought of it, but the dispenser in the girls' bathroom might be empty.  Not a problem if there was one in the Boy's bathroom.

Think back to some time before your party signed on to all this nonsense. What would that John have said if someone in 1994 told him that men's bathrooms need to have tampons in them?  Or that men can get pregnant. Or that it's impossible to define a woman. Or that biological men should fight women for our entertainment.

You would have laughed them out of the room.  

That's how it  still appears to the rest of us who haven't been infected by this insanity. When people start saying the most ludicrous of things  like "the government must provide tampons to boys" it's becomes the sign of a mind that isn't really dealing with common sense or reality.  They become so invested in this fantasy world where the rules of biology no longer apply that it's impossible for those of us who still deal with the world as it is to believe they are sane.

In 100 years when historians look back at this era, things like this are going to be example 1 of how out of our collective mind this country became.

Tampons for boys.

Minnesota schools now required to provide free menstrual products to students

logo-square-32.svg

By   Beret Leone

Updated on: January 3, 2024 / 9:52 AM CST   / CBS Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS —  Minnesota schools are now required to provide access to free menstrual products to students in grades 4 through 12. It's one of several new laws now in effect in the new year.

"It's been a long time coming," Erica Solomon Collins, executive director of the National Council of Jewish Women Minnesota, said.

Soloman Collins is right. The bill has been in the works for several years, with high school students across the state leading the charge. For instance, last summer a group of South St. Paul High School students teamed up with a nonprofit to get dispensers for period products in school bathrooms.

Before that, NCJW worked with Hopkins High School student Elif Ozturk, who also advocated to   end "period poverty" at the Minnesota State Capitol.

"It's most exciting to be able to say to those young people - that were taking time out of their busy schedules to go and do something, that for a 12-, 13-, 14-year-old is scary, which is to sit in front of a table of senators and talk about getting your period - to sort of be able to show them this was all worth it," she said, "this is now the end result of that, is really exciting for me."

Wasn't that during the height of "Oh my god! Everybody is getting sick and dying!" early days of the pandemic? Once again, an understandable reaction. From Statnews

In April 2020, Walz extended an emergency stay-at-home order which lasted through mid-May — prompting then-president Trump to declare “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!”  on the social media platform X . A little over a month later, after easing the stay-at-home order, the Democratic governor issued an indoor mask mandate for the state....

...Walz knew his shutdown orders and mask mandates would be unpopular, he  told Politico  in December 2021. But his administration chose to “make sure we were looking at all of the unintended consequences, not just from a health outcome but also social implications and the economy.”

So he did what he thought best to protect the people of his state.   From

Alpha News , a conservative site based in Minnesota, reported the hotline was monitored until November 2020. 

The Minnesota Public Safety Department and the Department of Public Health did not immediately return a request for comment asking more details about the hotline. 

The outlet also reported approximately 10,000 COVID-related emails passed through the hotline, though not all were related to social distancing and some were spam emails. 

As of April 2020, no citations were issued under the hotline, reported   CBS News , but it is unclear if any were given since. 

What has Walz said about it?

Walz defended the hotline as a way to educate Minnesotans about the stay-home order, reported the Minnesota Reformer. 

“It is being used, and we simply want to let people be able to call and let folks know,” he said. “It’s for their own good. If we see people that may not be as informed on this, it’s an educational piece.”

Walz was called out by several lawmakers and residents for all his health measures, but that was to be expected, he told   Politico

“I got to the point where I was saying ‘Please, just wear the mask so you live long enough to vote against me,’” Walz said.

The Upper Midwest Law Center filed a lawsuit in 2020 on behalf of several residents, small business owners and churches arguing the governor’s actions were an overreach of power which made its way to the Minnesota Supreme Court. 

The court sent it back to the Minnesota Court of Appeals which ruled that Walz did have the authority to make the emergency orders, reported CBS News. 

He went on to win reelection in 2022 defeating anti-mask, anti-vaccine opponent Dr. Scott Jensen.

Do you have anything else to hysterically over-react to?

t words in the text of the law mandates placement in boys’ bathrooms?

The literal words. There is no limit on the word bathrooms, so all bathrooms used by students are covered. 

The issue was debated the legislature. Per NPR:

But Republicans appear to be taking issue with the wording of the legislation, which says the products must be available “to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students.” Some Minnesota Republicans initially tried to limit the initiative to female-assigned and gender-neutral bathrooms, but were unsuccessful.

asked this a couple times now, as have others. Who is harmed? How?

o all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” 

That covers all student bathrooms. There is no limiting factor on students.  It's just a matter of reading. 

 Even if for whatever reason you  can't parse the language, given a chance to specifically limit the requirement  to female or gender neutral bathrooms the legislature voted against those limitations,  which demonstrates their intent  to apply it to all bathrooms.

I get why this is so embarrassing to his defenders and their need to obfuscate rather than attempt to defend such a batshit crazy use of government power, but at some point just face reality.

This is beyond absurd.

What’s beyond absurd is that you identify a requirement in the law that is not there. What’s beyond absurd is that you care about any of this.

Again, even if they did put this in a boys bathroom, so what? If no one needs it, who cares? It hurts no one.

Sure, there could be a trans case, but it will be relatively rare. Maybe - just maybe - there is a school where a biological girl, identifying as a boy, uses the boys bathrooms and the administration knows it. Since this student is having periods, it means they aren’t going through the hormone therapy conservatives say they object to. So, in case of an emergency, this item is sitting in that restroom in case they need it.

Or maybe we’re talking about a biological girl who has no inclinations at all to being trans. She just finds herself suddenly needing some protection. She happens to be near the boys restroom, and the girls restroom is on the other side of the gym or the admin building, or whatever. She could just run into the boys restroom real quick and take care of business, but you would force her to risk embarrassment and take the long walk, possibly through other students to deal with her issue.

Good lord, you must have lived the most sheltered life possible 

Ah yes. The familiar extreme conservative posing - pretending that you’re tougher than other people. You’re not. My life was not so sheltered by some standards. Perhaps it was by others. Unlike some, I don’t spend my days measuring myself against others and patting myself on the back when I think I’m winning.

to believe not giving tampons to boys is cruelty.  

No one is giving tampons to boys. They are located in a place in case somebody needs one. People take it or they don’t. No giving.

Regardless, because I’m a compassionate human being, if I can make life easier for the next generation, I’m happy to do it. Conservatives always claim to be devoted Christians, but they do not follow His teachings. Kindness and generosity are not on the agenda. Judgment and meanness are.

Minnesota has chosen to do a small thing that may help a small number of students, while hurting no one. And your reaction is anger and panic. I think that is beyond absurd.

Yeah, you have. You absolutely have. I say this by your own standard. You have argued that since the law does not specifically limit the items to girls’ restrooms, they must be required in boys’ restrooms.

Therefore, if you do not specifically declare that there are other reasons you don’t approve of Tim Walz, then this law must be the only reason. This is your standard, not mine.

You have held this law up as the sign that he can’t be trusted to make good decisions. He made this one decision you don’t like, and therefore he’s a bad pick. But for this one decision, you could be persuaded to vote for him.

If that is not the case, then this law really isn’t that big a deal. You just want to scandalize a very minor issue that doesn’t affect anyone negatively, and you’re doing it in support of base political tribalism.

No evidence to back that up. Are you saying that the very small number of kids who consider themselves to be trans will be suicidal if they don't receive drugs and surgery.

8.1.74  Sean Treacy  replied to  Tacos! @8.1.71    2 months ago

yeah, you have

Wow! Where to begin? Such dishonesty combined with an argument that might be the most illogical I’ve seen.

For starters, I’ve never so much as hinted that "I'd be supporting him but for this one law".  Pure, rank dishonesty to suggest that I have. 

Then, you double down on your dishonest premise by claiming that his support for tampons for boys is the only criticism I’ve made of Palz.  Ask your fellow travelers about that. There's plenty out there.

But as dishonest as your claims are, they don’t compare to how ass backwards and illogical your attempt was to apply my argument about what the statute means to what you imagine  my reason is  for not supporting Harris. I keep trying to make this as simple as I can for you. If you can’t get this, I have no idea how to further simplify it for you. Let's start with simply understanding how nouns function. 

Take tampons out of the equation because it seems to have broken people’s brains. Imagine the legislature said “Schools must paint their bathrooms blue.”   Bathrooms are a collective noun. The word encompasses boys bathrooms, girl bathrooms and unisex bathrooms. All types of bathrooms fall under the category bathrooms.  

So if a state orders its schools to paint their bathrooms blue, all bathrooms are included under the mandate. 

Now here’s where it gets tricky for some, substitute paint blue  with supply tampons. It’s very simple.

Since they, like every other literate person in the world, gets that concept, the Republicans said “hey, let’s modify the word bathrooms by listing girl and unisex bathrooms.” Democrats said “No,all bathrooms must have tampons."  Since Democrats had the numbers, the word bathroom stayed unmodified in the final legislative text. 

This all played out in the legislature. It's public record. They voted on this point.  Which makes it exceptionally dishonest to claim the language which the Minnesota legislature, the media, and all literate people agree encompasses all bathrooms, doesn't.  

Now you want to apply the logic of that argument to your imagined reason for my not supporting Harris/Walz. Start with finding my equivalent declaration  to the statute at issue.  Oh, that’s right, it doesn’t exist.  So you can’t do that, honestly. 

But that didn’t stop you did it?  You just pretended like I did.

Just because you "think" something makes sense to you, does not mean that it makes or does not make sense to anyone else.  

You began your dystopian journey on thread number eight with this comment:

Because only a radical loon would support a law forcing schools to supply male bathrooms with  tampons. 

as if the sole purpose of the law was to specifically supply tampons in male bathrooms. It was not, as I specifically showed in 8.1.9 when I quoted and linked this article Minnesota schools now required to provide free menstrual products to students.  I know that for you it matters that it does not state specifically in the text that females are supposed to have them, but I don't really give a shit. Tacos! provided the actual text of the law (thank you) in post 7  

A school district or charter school must provide students with access to menstrual products at no charge. The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district. For purposes of this section, "menstrual products" means pads, tampons, or other similar products used in connection with the menstrual cycle.

Everything after those exchanges is just me having fun at the expense of someone who is stuck in the 1950's and fighting to claw back the gains that people have made in securing their rights to exist within society. People who are widening the region of what it means to be content with their way of life and not having to hide who they are out of fear for "what people will say about them". They hurt no one. They bring joy to many who take the time to get to know them. Some of them are weird, no doubt, but they are generally good people. Most people are good people and just want to live in peace.

I think when my friend started menstruating so early, this was due to thyroid issues.

I dont understand what is "dangerous" about putting tampons in bathrooms.  Are they a choking hazard ? 

Only when used improperly.

I put them in first aid kits - and not just in case I encounter a menstruating woman.

That's an excellent idea. I never thought of that. Sanitary napkins are good for wounds that won't stop bleeding or a wound that has to be drained

My stepfather did as well. His friends thought it was hilariously funny and made fun of him until one of their teen boys fell out of the boat and got sliced by the prop while camping in a very remote area of Canada. That feminine napkin saved the kid's life. None of those big strong men ever joked about it again.

No,

I keep hearing about how refreshing it is to feel the joy emanating from the Harris ticket, as a stark comparison to the doom and gloom on the right.  Now the right is wringing their hands over tampons in public places.  They wouldn’t know joy if it were wadded up and stuffed in their vaginas.

Tampons in boys' restrooms makes about as much sense as have rubber dispensers in girls' restrooms.

Ummm. I mean I'm not your dad, so maybe it's not my place to have "the Talk" with you. But you do know that condom usage often involves a female, yes?

Has it occurred to you that a friend might be willing to retrieve a thing needed by another friend who was too embarrassed to do it themselves?

They can get them from the vending machine at APCO like you did in 1952. There have always had condom dispensers in schools...

Try to get a local school board to approve condom machines!

Other than to be cruel and inflict shame and embarrassment?

None.

Why limit the dispensary to tampons?  Shouldn’t we support choice with menstrual cups, pads, tampons and menstrual panties.

Vending machines for candy bars. Sandwiches. Even paper, pens, pencil.

But I think we should draw the line at having vending machines that dispense real Gold! (Of course Minors should not be allowed to use the Gold dispensing machines unless they are of legal age)>

That is because you never had a valid point to begin with. School administrators and teachers do not and cannot allow sex at school. They are though responsible for making sure any girls who get their periods unexpectedly do not bleed all over their students and classrooms. Tampons are a necessity. Rubbers are not!

One is a necessity for hygiene. The other is for birth control and to limit the spread of venereal diseases! Can you comprehend this?

Maybe in the backwoods but in NY we don't call MAGA "Normie".

This is definitely considered weird as hell even in NYC and LA...

Not Trans BTW. This here is a full grown full blown MAGA Man!

There were several school board and districts where they did. In one the boys ripped them off the walls and threw them in the toilets. And rightfully so.

This is also the same Timmy who's push to feed the children failed. 

The Justice Department has charged 72 politically connected Minnesotans with pilfering $250 million from federal child-nutrition programs during the pandemic.

Five have been convicted by a jury, and   18 have pled guilty   so far.

And they didn’t just skim some cash off the top.

“Almost   none of this money was   used to feed children,” FBI agent Travis Wilmer said.

Personally I think this argument has gone on long enough. I really think it's time to put this one to bed.

Before it's ended, I would like to add one more thought. When girls high school athletic teams travel to other schools for events, they are given the boys locker room as the visitors. (Same as boys teams are given the girls locker rooms when they visit). It stands to reason that these items should be available in the boys locker rooms to be available if needed.

I think this is being overblown. IMO a girl who thinks she's really a boy and wants to dress, act and look like a boy and use the boys bathroom in school is a lot less dangerous than a boy who dresses and acts like a girl so he can go into the girls bathrooms to peek at the girls. 

And boys being boys, it's more likely they will take the tampons and napkins, add a little ketchup and use them for "school art". Boys can be juvenile.
