Transgender lobbyists have forced Procter & Gamble’s Always to abandon the Venus symbol on all of their products because the ‘woman’ symbol is offensive to transgender people.
The campaign against the company began after eagle-eyed transgender individuals noticed Always was complementing their sanitary pads with a Venus symbol which is discriminatory against trans individuals according to activists.
After Always promised to remove the feminine symbol from their products, outraged feminists urged women to boycott the sanitary products giant and accused the company of working towards the “elimination of women’s biology.”
The campaign against the Venus symbol began back in July when a trans activist known as ‘Melly Boom’ on Twitter said it was necessary to ditch the “discriminatory” symbol.
“There are non-binary and trans folks who still need to use your products too you know!” they wrote.
Soon enough, thousands of other activists joined the movement against P&G. One of them was also Ben Saunders, an LGBT supporter with his own documentary, who recently complained to the company about the use of Venus symbol on their products.
“We are glad to inform you that as of December we will use a wrapper design without the feminine symbol,” Always responded to Ben’s concerns. “We are absolutely grateful for having people like you voicing their opinions.”
While the LGBT community welcomed their comment with open arms, the other side of the table was far from pleased with the announcement with thousands of women vowing to boycott Always.
“Removing the female symbol from sanitary towel packaging is basically denying the existence of women,” feminist campaigner Julie Bindel said in an interview with The Mail.
“We’re now moving towards the total elimination of women’s biology. The women’s symbol has been used by feminists for decades. This is pure cowardice and virtue signaling from these big corporate brands who are capitulating to the trans agenda.”
