Illinois legislature passes law requiring feminine hygiene products in boys' bathrooms

Just the News

A bill awaiting the Illinois governor’s signature would require schools to provide free menstruation products in both girls' and boys' bathrooms for grades 4 through 12.

 

Currently, Illinois requires tampons to be provided to students who need them, but the supplies are kept in the nurse’s office.

State Rep. Kathleen Willis, D-Addison, a co-sponsor of the proposal, said products such as tampons and sanitary napkins are needed in both girls’ and boys’ bathrooms in order to address the health needs of transgender students.

“If you are biologically a female, but identifying as a male, you’re going to menstruate and you’re going to need these products,” Willis said during floor debate.

1. This is a question for the Gentlemen here (you ladies go do whatever it is you do when we men are not around to oppress you). Gentlemen, lets think back to those days when the insanity that is puberty 1st struck. Now ask yourself what would your reaction be to tampons and sanitary napkins bring in the Boy's/Men's bathroom be? If memory serves it would be "WTH are these doing in here!" And Rapidly go downhill from there.

2. Just how many "transgender" Middle/High School students are there in Ill.?  If I were to take a WAG I'd put the number in the Low double digits.

3. Given All the problems facing Ill., you'd think they have better things to spend their time on. Like making sure the State doesn't go Bankrupt, Blacks in Chicago killing each other with merry abandon.

My grandson tries his darnedest to stay out of the bathrooms in his Illinois school. That's where the maniacs go to do bad things - and no one seems to care. But, at least they will have tampons!

4th grade (we're talking 1957) I don't think I even knew what those were.

Well in todays world there are all kinds of things that are on everyday TV - programs and especially commercials - that mommy has to explain to kids that are too young to really understand that never would have taken place in 1957 - or even the 80's.

SIGH!  Not everything was bad back then. Maybe I'm looking  through Rose Colored Glasses, but  Kids were allowed to be Kids. At least in my little world we were.
