Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Orders Removal Of Tampons From Men's Bathrooms

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly directed the removal of tampons from men's restrooms in the company's offices, which had been provided to support non-binary and transgender employees who might need them. According to the New York Times, facilities managers across Meta's Silicon Valley, Texas and New York offices were ordered to get rid of tampons and sanitary pads from the men's bathrooms.

At "Meta's offices in Silicon Valley, Texas and New York, facilities managers were instructed to remove tampons from men's bathrooms, which the company had provided for nonbinary and transgender employees who use the men's room and who may have required sanitary pads, two employees said," The Times reported.

The NYT report also said that Meta's policy changes have sparked internal controversy. On the company's internal platform, Workplace, employees in the @Pride group expressed concerns and objections. Some even announced their resignation or plans to leave the company. Meta's chief marketing officer, Alex Schultz, attempted to address the concerns in a post, suggesting that issues like transgender rights had become politicised.
