Canadian military bases mandate menstruation kits in men’s bathrooms

[CharlieH]

 

In a move to align with the Liberal government’s commitment to “inclusivity,” Canadian military bases are required to provide menstrual products, including tampons and pads, in men’s washrooms by December 15.

This directive, issued by Employment and Social Development Canada, extends to all federally regulated workplaces and military installations.

True North has independently verified the implementation of this policy in at least one Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) military base, where menstruation kits are now available in men’s washrooms. 

Major Soomin Kim of the Department of National Defence confirmed that this decision aligns with federal government directives, emphasizing compliance with the Canada Labour Code.

“Starting December 15, 2023, as per the Canada Labour Code, all federally managed washrooms will be required to provide menstrual products to all employees,” Major Kim told True North. 

The federal directive underscores its commitment to “better protect menstruating employees” by mandating the presence of menstrual products in all toilet rooms, irrespective of their designated genders.

According to a recent federal briefing note, the CAF is facing a recruitment crisis as it struggles to find willing Canadians to fill the military’s thinning ranks.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) allows transgender individuals to serve openly and without discrimination. This policy was enacted in 2016 and ensures that transgender members have equal access to all opportunities and benefits within the military.

Here are some additional details about transgender inclusion in the CAF:

• No surgery requirement: Transgender individuals are not required to undergo gender reassignment surgery in order to serve openly.
• Access to healthcare: Transgender members have access to a range of healthcare services, including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.
• Non-discrimination policy: The CAF has a strict non-discrimination policy that protects transgender members from harassment and bullying.
• Support networks: The CAF offers a number of support networks for transgender members, including peer support groups and employee resource groups.

Why? Some people who are men menstruate. There are men like Wiley who can bear children.  What toilet should he use?

 

I went to an event at Portland State University recently The first time on any kind of campus in years and there were maxi pads for free in the "mens" room. I thought I had walked into the "ladies" by mistake , but that is on me. The worlds has not gone mad it has grown up

 

 I will give you my answer, there should not be no mens, womens, or unisex,  just equal access.

Yup, all stalls, so nobody knows anything about your body.

Let's hope we never have to fight a real war. Imagine going into battle without your tampons.

That's understandable! They don't feel safe in their gov't bathrooms anymore.

I know I will be crucified for this... I don't care what hormones one overload oneself with, or what kind of clothes one wears... If you have the "junk" you are a man. If not, you are not... Reminds me of a ditty... back in the days of old, when men were men, and women were women, and woman where glad of it...

The US Air Force had a transgender member deploy to Afghanistan about 10 years ago.  A separate bathrooms and shower had to be built just to accommodate this one member.  As I recall this member was born female but serving as a male.  Not surprised and more to come. 

 

“Killing the enemy and blowing things up that need to be blown up” 

 

This was the actual purpose of having a military but times have changed.

With no enemies and no wars to fight, some countries tend to go from the sublime to the ridicules...

[stoner]

will proper pro nouns need to be recognized before the killing begins ? i identify as a dead person. 

[Mike Lister]

Probably easier for the younger crowd to accept, as an oldie I have great difficulty with this.

[Lacessit]

How many genders are we going to have to support?

Personally, I don't have a problem with any - call yourself whatever you want.

However, when it comes to taxpayer dollars, if male and female washrooms and their facilities are not good enough for you, f#ck off.

That would only require sanitary pads in men's toilets if female to male transgenders were serving  and pretending to be men. A male pretending to be a female does not and never will menstruate.

Can we assume that the ruling allows men pretending to be female to use the female bathrooms?

 

As usual the lovies take the most complicated and troublesome option. Instead of having a separate bathroom for trans sexuals, they make trans people use the same bathroom as the one they are pretending to be. What could possibly go wrong with that?

 

I'm all for equality, as long as it involves females being conscripted as cannon fodder if men are being conscripted for such. If that isn't going to happen then it's not equality.

If this happened in Thailand you could easily put it down to an official's maid owning a menstruation pack factory, but in Canada.....? 

[Jenkins9039]

I don't want to know where they inject the tampons...

[sikishrory]

Canadas lost the plot. They are allowing 50yo trans men to change with young girls.

They created a third trans sporting category yet all the trannys choose to continue dominating in the womens category and anyone who speaks out gets punished.

Funny how it is a completely non-issue in Thailand.

Canada has gone insane under the leftist Trudeau government.

Why do you think? Because of tampons in men's toilets? Maybe it's there for those who suffering from hemorrhoids??? 😵‍💫

"Let's all go menstruate together"

[blazes]

There's only one small glimmer of hope amidst all this supreme bo££ocks: eventually an election will have to be held and Canadians (over many decades) have a habit of violently voting an unpopular government OUT, reducing the governing party to as few as 2 seats. It's happened too many times, both federally and provincially, to list here.

 

The polls suggest that the much-loathed Trudeau, if he doesn't step down before the election, will be dumped mercilessly.

 

In the meantime, a Canadian university proclaims its shameless virtue signalling while advertising a tenure-track job where skin-colour counts for more than merit (surely a world first) :

 

In accordance with the University’s Equity Plan and pursuant to Section 42 of the BC Human Rights code, the selection will be limited to members of the following designated group: Black people. Our search committee will review the pool of applications from those who self-identify with this designated group. Candidates from this group must self-identify in their cover letter to be considered for this position.

Of course, like Senator Pochahontas Warren, one could always "self-identity" as genetically black.
