Michigan's Whitmer refers to women as 'people with a period' in final midterm pitch to voters
Whitmer and other Democrats have been accused of minimizing women
By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News

 Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer referred to women as "people with a period" in a brief address to TikTok on Monday.

Whitmer, who is up for re-election on Tuesday and facing Republican challenger Tudor Dixon, made the statement while discussing menstrual products. Democrats in Washington and across the country have come under fire for refusing to refer to women as such, often creating complicated definitions to include transgender people.

"A bipartisan tax cut will help reduce the economic burden of the cost of menstrual products, especially for lower-income Michiganders," Whitmer says in the clip. "Saving people with a period from paying taxes on up to $4,800 in spending over the course of their lifetime."

The latest polling shows Whitmer with a nearly 9-point lead over Dixon ahead of Tuesday's election, with the incumbent sitting at 51.7% support and challenger at 43.1%. According to a new WDIV/Detroit News poll, inflation and abortion are the top issues for Michigan voters.

Yes, and what about post-menopausal women?

This whole gender appropriation thing is so insane.

It is completely insane. And it surprises me that more women are not extremely pissed off about it... if not for themselves than for their daughters, and their safety and security...

And most of all, feminists, of all people, whose doctrine raises females - genetic females - high above any other thing. They should be apoplectic.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Women that don't  have periods are not people?

Then what are they?

Oh my. Remember the kerfuffle surrounding that song?
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
