ezs note: Here in Connecticut, both women and transgender men are lucky, in that they don't have to pay tax on these necessary menstrual items.  But far too many do have to pay the tax.  In the large scheme of things, this might not seem too onerous, but for those who are disabled, people who are low wage, or are unemployed, every penny counts!
