"We have to broaden the tax base, not start carving out politically correct exceptions," Mr Abbott said at the time.
Sigh. If basic foods, condoms, and lube were never subject to GST, adding tampons and pads isn't exactly overreach. Why is this such a common thing, including them in "luxury" taxes? Do some cis men think being able to go out in public without bleeding everywhere is a luxury?

So, slightly off topic, but I have been seeing this more and more.
Why say "cis men" and not just say "men"? There is no reason to denote sexual orientation and the term cisgender is not commonly used in normal conversation. So there is no need for it.
When I say "men," I am actually grouping trans men into that category. Because they're men. Trans and cis are just adjectives. Like... black men, or gay men, or tall men. All of them are men....

Thus, I was specific when writing my comment; I try my best to be as clear as I can, and when something like my question above doesn't apply to trans men, I'll specify that it applies only to cis men. It's not irrelevant to me.
@StellarV already covered this, so... yeah. Most trans men presumably have experience with periods, as do AFAB (assigned female at birth) nonbinary folks. I use cis/trans when it is relevant to...
@StellarV already covered this, so... yeah. Most trans men presumably have experience with periods, as do AFAB (assigned female at birth) nonbinary folks. I use cis/trans when it is relevant to the topic, and in this case it is.
Side note: Cisgender and transgender don't denote sexual orientation. They're to do with gender, and describe whether or not someone is the gender they were assigned at birth (usually based on external genitalia). So a cis man was assigned male at birth (AMAB) and is a man, while a trans man was assigned female at birth (AFAB) but is in fact also a man.

It is relevant in this case because trans men know about periods firsthand and especially know the stress of having to hide it.
Yes, but when you say "man" no one is assuming you are grouping trans men into that category.
Its irrelevant.
