TRIGGER WARNING: cissexism and transphobia

For those of you who don’t watch this commerical, it is basically two women at the mirror in the bathroom of a club, one of whom appears cisgender while the other appears to be transgender. They are trying to “one-up” each other with displays of “girliness” such as make-up application and readjusting their breasts in their dress. The cis woman “wins” when she pulls out a packet of tampons. The advert then ends with the Libra logo and the phrase “Libra gets girls”.

Absolutely disgusting, I’ve written Libra an email and I hope you do too.

This is fucking unacceptable.

this is just the worst. 

I don’t know who’s the most girly of the two. But I do know who the biggest asshole is: the one who came up with this commercial!

whaaaaa?

    Not only is this very cissexist, but not all women menstruate. Not even all ciswomen menstruate. This is disgusting.
