If you don't quite understand what horror the Trump administration inflicted today on transgender and non-binary people seeking medical care and why we're scared, let me tell you a quick story.

I feel like we see this a lot when we talk about consent - products and strategies devised (usually by men) which address the problem of 'women saying they get raped' rather than 'women experiencing sexual assault'. I know it's an ad agency gimmick but that still matters
The worrying thing is that this frames consent as a 'discussion' and implies that the real issue is that women might make it up/exaggerate after consensual sex. This is a product designed essentially to protect men from rape accusations, not to protect women from rape
OK so I have seen & taken the piss out of a LOT of products in my time but the Consent Condom is definitely the worst one I've seen in 2019 so far. Doubt that many potential rapists are going to be foiled by this https://t.co/WWPKXl74qM
