Always removes feminine logo from products to appease trans people

Always, the sanitary products company has decided to now remove their feminine logos from any and all products after receiving numerous complaints from the trans community claiming it was discriminatory towards them. Always has a "Venus" symbol on a majority of their wrappers for products, which is a circle with a plus sign underneath it to represent women. Members of the trans community like activist Melly Bloom have been very active online complaining to Always saying things like: "Could someone from Always tell me why it is imperative to have the female symbol on their sanitary products? There are non-binary and trans folks who still need to use your products too you know!"

The number one complaint is that it's "not only women who menstruate". It isn't? The last time I checked, it takes FEMALE reproductive organs in order for you to menstruate...regardless of what you identify as now you were BORN A FEMALE. This infuriates me...female parts are female parts and just because you still have them and identify as something else does not mean it's not the pre-existing FEMALE part of you that makes you menstruate. So having a feminine logo on the products is appropriate.
