Gender neutral period products and advertisements

The issue

So everyone has most likely seen period product packaging and the advertisements. They are mostly featuring females, but the thing that is missing here is the Male, Nonbinary and Transwoman folks that has a period. Why is it strictly for cis females? 

Iv never ONCE seen a advertisement for Period products feature a Transgende or non confirming person at all. It effects so many lives of the transgenders community as they would feel so dysphoric and uncomfortable using these products because all they see on the packaging is things that represent cis females and on the advertisements they just see cis females using it.

instead of the products we have now why can’t we just have a plain simple packaging that’s labeled for all genders? Also having advertisements featuring males, females and the non confirming.  

Im so mad and shocked this hasn’t happened yet. As I am a 17 year old trans person it personally make sure me uncomfortable using these products. I have spoke to other people about this to and they agree with me as it also makes them uncomfortable. 

By signing this you are allowing us to be a step closer into changing the issue to make period product factories start considering about changing their packaging and advertisements to suit every single gender.
