I think I can understand how it would be confusing to someone to have female sanitary products in a male bathroom at a school. I can understand that these people feel like this is part of what influences youth to develop a certain way, and they want to prevent this development at all costs.

But it is really hard to stomach that there are people who think the existence of a tampon in someone's surrounding makes them question their gender, and removing the tampon restores order somehow.

I know if I were a kid, I'd just be confused but that's about it. I mean, worst case scenario this is just an excuse for schools to double up on tampons and have more supplies for female students, a demographic that often has its needs ignored.
