We'd thought we were past the trans activist "tampons in boys' restrooms" phase of governance, but Maryland Democrats are fighting to pass a bill that would mandate tampon dispensers in all state-owned buildings. This is a step up from mandating them only in public school restrooms. Note that in the bill, they refer to tampons as simply "hygiene products," not women's hygiene products.

Delegate Kathy Szeliga, a Republican, gave the Democrats some grief about their wording that public buildings provide an adequate supply of appropriately sized tampons.

What's the estimate on the expense of installing and maintaining tampon dispensers in every men's restroom in every city-owned property in the city of Baltimore, and how many people will actually benefit?
