Showing Original Post only (View all)Oregon: vandalization of the tampon dispensers placed in the boys bathrooms by law [View all]
An Oregon high school asked boys to stop vandalizing its bathrooms after stocking them with free menstrual products, according to a Friday email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Over the last few weeks, Lakeridge High School officials have said that tampon dispensers were taken off the wall in boys bathrooms and placed in the toilet, according to an email obtained by the DCNF. All K-12 bathrooms in the Lake Oswego School District offer free menstrual products for students in order to comply with state law which requires schools to provide such resources in gender-neutral, male and female restrooms.

The high school provided parents with resources on menstruation, menstrual products, sexuality and health, to aid them in conversations with their children about the topics, the email stated. The resources included two videos which explain that menstruation is a normal part of puberty for a person that has a uterus.
Growing Up OK, a brochure on puberty provided in the email and recommended for grades K-12, explains wet dreams, erections and ejaculations.
Each time that the dispensers are taken down, the school needs to spend time and resources putting them back up in order to be compliant with House Bill 3294 [Menstrual Dignity Act], the email stated. We are asking our student body to be respectful of school property, and to be sensitive to all of our students needs.

OP
A person who is menstruating should be using the female bathroom regardless of gender identity.

Most stores are separated into male and female sections. Often on different floors.
