My son hated it. :(
I bought a copy of this coloring book for my son so that he would be ready for the day when his Aunt Flo visited, his little flower bloomed and he could finally say that he was a man. His reaction shocked me. "Dad, first you bought me a dress and now a coloring book about tampons? I'm a boy!"
I was shocked. As I flipped through the pages of Toni the Tampon, it very clearly said that men could menstruate too, and we should destigmatize it and break gender norms. My son grabbed his biology textbook from his backpack, and I was appalled at the anti-trans propaganda within.
Did you know our children are being taught in school that male and female genders are biologically based and can't be assigned like I was told by Tumblr social justice warriors? My worldview shook, I retreated into my room to cry into my pillow about my lost non-binary status as a genderqueer attack helicopter. Toni the Tampon ruined my dreams, and I don't even know what's real anymore.
