Rep. Kristen Cloutier (D-Lewiston) withdrew a bill earlier this month that would have put taxpayer-funded tampons in public school boys’ bathrooms, marking a victory for the Mainers who agree that men cannot menstruate.

Rep. Cloutier’s bill, LD 155, died on April 8 when the House and Senate both voted to accept her “leave to withdraw” request.
The bill was initially set to be considered in the Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs, but it was withdrawn before any work session or public hearing could be held.
Cloutier’s proposal would have forced taxpayers to pay to stock tampons and other menstrual products in every public school bathroom across the state, including boys’ bathrooms.
Her leave to withdraw request was approved by the Education Committee chairs just one day after a fiscal note was attached to the bill, revealing how much the program was expected to cost. The fiscal note projected that Maine taxpayers would pay $241,417 in annual costs for the tampons, along with a $32,400 one-time expense for the dispensers.
The note was forced to unwittingly acknowledge that boys do not menstruate when calculating the potential cost, as it considered only expected tampon usage by female students.
The Maine Wire reached out to Cloutier, asking why the bill was withdrawn, but she did not immediately respond.
The withdrawal comes as Maine faces a loss of federal funding and a federal lawsuit over its refusal to prevent males from competing in women’s sports or entering women’s restrooms and locker rooms. Cloutier’s bill would likely have run afoul of President Donald Trump’s order banning radical gender ideology from schools. Gender ideology says that a man can become a woman, and falsely asserts that some men can menstruate, because it entirely separates gender from biological sex.
Cloutier isn’t the only Democrat to quietly withdraw a bill that would put gender ideology in schools.
Rep. Cheryl Golek (D-Harpswell) recently withdrew her bill, LD 1482, that would have mandated LGBTQ education across Maine schools.

The dems are part of a Satanic cult.
Can she even define what a boy is, we all know that they cannot define what a women is.
Shiny object to distract from the other criminal activities going on in augusta
She is also anti gun and freedom. Vote republican folks
Boy she looks like a rocket scientist thinking real hard.
Don’t worry there’s still hope for you.
Finally, the liberals are coming to their senses; it’s a long road ahead, but it is a start.
If you are still registered as a dem after all this nonsense, then you must be a terrorist.
Hmmmm
Clueless Cloutier will now always be know as the Tampon Queen/King/Them person.
Another dim bulb from Lewiston speaks her mind .
What a clown .
The more they come the dumber they are .
a $32,400 one-time expense for the dispensers
It wouldn’t be a “one time” expense — the dispensers would be destroyed.
Why did she withdraw it??? I think it’s a great idea, like Joe Biden showering with his daughter.
Rep. Kristen Cloutier (D-Lewiston) pees standing up.
Why would a boy, even one who has been forced to believe he is a girl, want to menstruate? Been there, done that – it’s not something to wish for, no matter how delusional.
One thing about tampon dispensers in boys’ bathrooms: They would never need restocking.
Can anyone help these mentally unstable people, anyone?????
Are all democrats mentally ill
Never having had to buy any, I am shocked by what tampons must cost apiece, even when given “government special pricing.” And when virtually none will be consumed.
On a related front, let’s not forget that an intersectional Justice of the Supreme Court is unable to articulate while testifying how to define “a female.”
As Forrest Gump said, Stupid is as Stupid does.
I was wondering if she got kicked in the head by a mule recently?
