Hope this is okay mods - I feel like helping Satanists buy tampons for transgender people is something many atheists might enjoy doing.

Heres the Amazon wishlist.

There's gotta be a better way of doing this than:

  1. Supporting that shitty corporation (EDIT: I'm referring to Amazon)
  2. Not having any clue which products there is more need for, so just buying blindly in hopes someone can use it.

TST is very vocally and openly atheist.

Why is it a shitty corporation, if you don't mind expounding upon your thoughts?

I'm sure they're referring to using an Amazon Wishlist. Purchasing through their system directly benefits Amazon (a shitty corporation).

Thank you - that's exactly what I meant.

Houston is the 4th largest population center on the planet. They can use it.

I don't know for sure, but I feel like making this one drive a success won't noticeably bump Amazon's stock price. And a donor could hypothetically say "For next time, I'd feel more ethically clean supporting a business that wasn't Amazon in the process of doing these good works", and it might even start a conversation with whoever is in charge of stuff.

Because it's a bit late to turn this boat, it's already at sea, but you could have an impact on their forward progress still, now and in the future.

I am stealing this joke and I am not giving you credit. Sorry and thank you.

The idea is that if you are unhoused or in a financially precarious situation - which many LGBT+ are due to discrimination - you might not be able to afford pads or tampons. This could impact lesbians, trans men or nonbinary people with uteruses. Not having pads or tampons can mean missing work or school, and being really really uncomfortable.

Makes sense.
