On Monday, Georgia MP Marjorie Taylor Green spread an unfounded, transphobic rumor that blamed the country’s continuing lack of tampons on trans people. “Men have taken over everything. They are ‘women of the year’ in every category, in the women’s categories. And the latest news is that there is a shortage of tampons, and that is probably because men are buying tampons,” Greene said in an episode. of her podcast, “MTG Live”. However, the Georgian MP did not provide evidence for her baseless allegation of a lack of tampons in some parts of the country. Earlier this month, Walgreens and CVS warned consumers that demand had outstripped their supply of tampons. Walgreens said it was experiencing “brand-specific shortages” in some areas, while CVS said its suppliers “were unable to meet the full volume of orders placed,” said Insider’s Gabrielle Bienasz. Tampon manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble are now trying to increase product production. Tampon companies have attributed the lack of tampons to supply chain grunts and increased consumer demand. For example, a Procter & Gamble spokesperson pointed to a Tampax ad in July 2020 with Amy Schumer, which said it had boosted demand for the company’s tampons by 8% over two years. In her podcast, Greene claimed that there was a “war on women” and called places that “put tampons in men’s bathrooms.” Although he did not specify where such activities take place, some public places such as businesses and schools have begun to provide tampons in bathrooms intended for men. Greene also wrote on Twitter about the issue, doubling her stance. “Menopausal people” can not find tampons. Has anyone checked the warehouses at the border, where all the baby emulsions are stored from floor to ceiling on the shelves? Or maybe some men’s toilets? Obviously available there “Greene wrote on Twitter on Monday. Night. Greene has been linked to several cases of transphobic behavior. He is known to have put up a sign saying “there are two sexes, male and female”, opposite the office of MP Marie Newman, who has a trans daughter. Green also recently promoted an unfounded conspiracy theory that emerged after the Texas school shooting, citing a QAnon-linked allegation that the gunman was a trans person.
