*TRIGGER WARNING FOR TRANSPHOBIA*

This is a disgusting transphobic “Tampons Drag It” commercial for Libra. As put by one of our members “At first you hear the phrase “Libra gets girls” and you’re all “um, not all “girls” menstruate, not everyone who menstruates is a “girl”, damn this patriarchy” but then you realise they already thought of that. And, you know, ran with it. Into a big wall of ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO?”

Please complain on their website, their Facebook or Tweet them at @LoveLibraX with the #transphobictampons hashtag.

If their product was any good, they wouldn’t need transphobia and transmisogyny to sell it.
