What is the Tampon Tim meme trend that Donald Trump jumped on during the Al Smith dinner?
Recently, a law has been passed in Minnesota, making the free availability of menstrual products like tampons mandatory in all schools. Democrat Tim Walz mandated that the products be made available in both male and female washrooms, to make things easier for trans students.
However, this garnered quite the reaction from Republicans and supporters of Donald Trump, who coined the nickname 'Tampon Tim' for Walz, claiming that it was absurd that he was trying to "force tampons into men's washrooms."
However, many people are in favor of Tim Walz's decision, claiming that making feminine hygiene products available in school is a brilliant idea, especially for adolescents who are already going through an awkward stage in life.
In case of trans students, they are already likely to face discrimination and have a hard time at school, so making menstrual products available in the men's room simply makes things a bit easier for them.
