Thanks for watching and I hope you subscribe! I’m still figuring out this whole YouTube thing though, so comment if there are questions you have + videos you might be curious to watch!

I’m trying to post daily vlogs and have this be a place where we can talk more deeply about topics that short-form content can’t encapsulate in just 30-90 seconds.

Say hi on social @nadyaokamoto

Listen to Tigress, my podcast!

You can ask cabin crew about it. They will give it to you😊

Gender inclusive? I didnt know men could use pads and tampons

[Alwayseva]

ask the cabin crew for one they are often misused and they are expensive to restock.

I don't think we need to change a label for period products just to make it gender inclusive as there is nothing wrong with using a women to label period products as most people who have periods are women. have a good day tho ☺️

edit: ok so I saw these comments and decided to get my trans friend to reply (he is a biological women but his gender is a man)

Hi so as a trans man who goes through periods I have personally never found a problem with having a women be on a label of a period product. We need to face the facts. BIOLOGICALLY the female sex has periods and the male sex doesn't. Period product do not have to be gender inclusive because they are meant for the female sex NOT the female gender. I hope that clears up my friends comment bit more tho.

ok so 1st off YOU DONT HAVE TO BELIVE ME. i get why people think that was not really my friend but there is no reason to be hateful. me and my friend wrote a nice and respectful comment and everyone is so pressed by it. please respect our opinion and i will respect yours. also i know that he doesn’t speak for every trans person btw. have a good day.

Planes have ashtrays purely because (even though smoking is illegal in aircraft ) if someone was to light a cigarette there had to be somewhere to safely put it out

[vintag_lver]

I find it interesting how everyone's only mad about how she was talking about it being gender inclusive. Who cares if the symbol/logo was specifically for women or was gender-inclusive? Either way, they had no period products availabe.

[TheSightOfTheStars]

Oh, the reason to have an ashtray when smoking is banned/illegal is pretty straightforward. They know people are still going to do it, ashtray or not, and would prefer for the bathrooms to be usable, and not on fire, lol. (Also, thanks for being an ally. As a non binary person who deals with periods, its small but meaningful. ❤)

Oh my I am 6ft tall that plane must be cramped

Why would pads be gender inclusive. Its supposed to be just for women/ females it’s actually so stupid how people want to be included for everything and how this world has changed really for absolute worst

[EQ_Anneke]

I do appreciate how you pointed out that it’s not gender inclusive. As a non-binary person who gets periods, it was awesome to see you recognize that. I also know some trans men get periods and an icon of a woman (though not likely) may make them feel dysphoric. I personally take no issue to it being a **person in a dress** sign, but trans men might. If there are any trans men here, would y’all let me know how you feel about it?

[cyrus]

jesus alright, here’s a trans man’s opinion-

so i haven’t had a period in like a year or two but plenty of other trans men still do, and i used to. do we /need/ to change the sign? no, because we’ll still know how to find what we need, but will it be uncomfortable and annoying? yeah, a little. would it /kill/ anyone to change the sign to something more direct? also no! the fact we still use a woman sign for sanitary products legit goes against feminism, why are we still catering to people who think our bodily functions are “gross” and “weird”? why not just put a pad or tampon symbol? it would make much more sense, and be to the point.

[thedog]

while smoking is illegal on a plane, ash trays are there just in case someone would smoke. You wouldn’t want the plane to burn down would you? 💀

[annegreenwood]

they have products you sometimes have to ask the stewardess

[MxnstrMutt]

The amount of individuals commenting about the gender market and not about the lack of availability of period products. I have been in so many instances where I've had to hope on a DIY pad because the machine was not stocked, broken or I had NO quarters. Periods are something natural that happens to anyone with a uterus so why should they be kept behind a pay wall essentially.

And yes. Men with uteruses can get periods. Get over yourself.

[xoveda]

Not to be rude, I’m just curious, why would the period products sign not be a woman? Men can’t get periods? Again, not being rude, just curious!

[SanchiraVanity]

By doing this people can start saying that there is no reason for females to be more emotional, to get upset when on there period or to do the things they do when on their period, or even pregnant because it's no longer just a female thing people can now say "I know a man who was pregnant and he never acted like you do, your just being irrational or crazy" this is allowing females to be compared to men

[miiiarose]

that one person waiting for her to finish-

[vloggingwithanna]

The little sign on the seat of the toilet was not to throw in wet wipes into the toilet so it doesn’t get clogged :) hope this helped

[liiittleasianthiccy]

Nah wtf? Bro why are y'all fighting in the comments abt gender and sex, females bleed, and since the universal sign for female is a person in a skirt due to a very narrow minded generation, its labeled that way. And before you say they could've just written sanitary napkins or pads, not everybody can read english, it's not the only language in the world, and it's only used since white hoity toity men said mine and played clash of clans version 0.

[gigarat]

the people waiting to go to the bathroom: why is this woman talking to herself about the bathroom she’s in and when is gonna be my mf turn
