What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

Let's face it, the company has confirmed themselves as fetishwear providers

Like Snag

Euuuw

Males don't get periods. People who identify as transgender women are male. They do not get periods. They do not have a uterus and they do not menstruate.

Some males who identify as transwomen and take hormones to change their body's appearance may experience side effects they characterise as the same as a menstrual cycle. They are side effects. That these side effects may include mood changes, abdominal or breast tissue pains, temperature changes, changes in appetite, variances in libido and the rest does not change that they are side effects and that males do not menstruate or experience PMS.

The rank dishonesty does nothing for the TRA cause.

WTAF. Gaslighting the entire human race, way to go, Modibodi.

"Bottom line is, people of all genders menstruate. Trans women’s periods are just as real and valid as anyone else’s, so whether it’s tracking your hormonal cycle, slipping on some comfy period underwear or checking in with your doc, do what makes you feel supported and affirmed through your cycle’s ups and downs."

This has got so ridiculous I can hardly speak. Less 'supported and affirmed' 🙄 and more absolutely exasperated. ( But also grateful I have navigated a large proportion of my life before fact, and truth became optional fucking extras. )

They definitely think natal males are who they are talking about but yes then couch it in wishy washy all friends are magical language

"Who are trans women?

Everyone’s experience with gender is unique and personal. You’ve probably heard of gender identity, which is all about how you feel on the inside. This is a bit different to gender expression, which is how you show your gender to the world through things like your actions, style and body characteristics.

How does this relate to being trans? Well, trans is a term that can describe people whose gender differs from what was presumed for them at birth. A trans woman is someone who is a woman and who was assigned male at birth.
Note: some trans people see ‘being trans’ not as an identity as such, but more a as history or experience. "

Well, have you ever had stomach cramps or diarrhea or some other kind of gas or gut pain, something going on abdominably that was not your period but kind of reminded you of your period?
I'm quite sure that there are many instances that can cause a cramping gut-wrenching feeling which you could say "feels like a period"

Cuz let's face it,. Is the shedding of the menstrual blood of the lining of the uterus. Transgender individuals who are born as biological males do not have a uterus. They can take hormones which if they had a uterus and they had a bloody lining, would maybe cause it to shed but they don't have that. But it's possible that taking the hormones might give them some kind of a gut cramp or bloating or discomfort.

I'm sure that if every one of us biological females out there was asked to list One symptom only of their period, within 5 minutes we'd have a list of probably a hundred unpleasant symptoms (thankfully not every single one of us gets these symptoms every single time but unluckily some of us get them a lot more than others)

I suppose if you're a biological male, and you're on female hormones, your nipples might get sensitive. All humans have nipples. They can get sensitive. And you can get bloated. You don't have to be a female for that. And you can feel crampy, not uterine crampy because they don't have a uterus, but crampy in general. And you can have diarrhea. And you can have a headache. And you can feel nauseated.
And maybe your blood pressure can fluctuate (mine does, I get faint sometimes on my period and it's not an iron related thing although biological males can have low iron too)

As someone who has experienced some of the worst symptoms of what we call "a period" for my entire life, I can agree that there are aspects to this event that do not include a uterus.
But that's as far as I'll go. Obviously unless someone gets an artificial uterus installed (I'm pretty sure uterine transplants into biological males is not a thing yet) then there's no way without cutting themselves that they can experience menstrual bleeding and they will not expense experience uterine cramping or, the pain of having cysts bursting on their ovaries or other such fun things that we go through.

Yes seriously 🤦‍♀️

• Avoid asking invasive or personal questions that may make someone uncomfortable.

For instance

So do not say, “but I thought you are a fella!”

Do say “hey thought you might want to know you’re leaking. If you’re flooding I’ve got some maxis in my bag I can lend you, and there’s a packet of paracetamol in there too. Oh and you should always wear black when you’re on!”

Because the latter will affirm and they’ll be happy to chat blood and wardrobe, because that is good lady-chatter .

I wonder have they thought it through though. There are a few examples already of companies that have haemorrhaged their (large) female base by targeting a small number of delusional men,

Seriously?
Christ almighty.

Oddly, the menopause is an aspect of the female experience that transwomen don't seem keen to appropriate.

In fact, a decent proportion only start taking hormones at an age where most women's bodies are cutting production.

I would suggest that the middle aged newly hatched transwoman embrace cronehood and just buy a pair of tweezers rather than trying to capture a girlhood that was never theirs and spending a fortune on "affirming" period knickers.

I have this vision of the future where knowledge goes into sharp reverse. LLMs will keep amplifying all this absolute quasi religious bullshit until it becomes fact.

David Lammy said men could grow a cervix.

We live in an age of idiocy

Grow a uterus! 😂 I wish it were possible to magically grow new, healthy organs as needed!

Regardless how you feel, you don't need period pants if you don't bleed. End of story.

However, not needing them doesn't mean not wanting them. This just seems like a cynical plot to get more sales.

god they are being disingenuous there.
They aren't talking about transwomen mensturating. They have couched it in terms that makes it seem like that, presumably to stop the backlash before it happens.

Trans people do mensturate though. Transmen. And since the non-binary people also come under the transumbrella, so do the female bodied ones among them.

Word salad. But it does flag up a company to avoid if you don't like this kind of piffle.

Nope

"How does this relate to being trans? Well, trans is a term that can describe people whose gender differs from what was presumed for them at birth.

So he the be-penised is his bleeding out of his non-existent female reproductive organ and having the magical 28ish day hormone changes to release his female gamate.

Its just another "womans" product that is selling stunning and brave to men and fuck you to women

Edit for format

I particularly ‘like’ the bit that says ‘some trans women don’t have uteruses.’

😂😂
I wonder whether whoever wrote this tripe has the first clue about basic biology?

Alas, an awful lot of people, who are not necessarily uneducated, are equally clueless. My own dh (science degree, further prof. qualifications) said at the height of the ‘trans’ debate, that he supposed it could be possible for a trans woman to ‘grow a uterus’.

Didn’t some fairly eminent politician say much the same?

Needless to say, I soon put dh straight.

not well understood by some
🤭

I mean, sometimes there is just nothing that one can say to such wankery.

Don’t worry he will soon experience the manopause.

go and google it.

Trans women’s periods are not well understood just yet

No shit! By you modibodi!

Ooh, the part about how to support and affirm them is... 😡

But PMS is pre menstrual syndrome so no they can’t get that!

better to say they have cyclical hormone syndrome.

Really suffering with menopause hot flushes and night waking. Mysteriously Dh is totally unaffected?! Can anyone advise?

You don't need special underwear for that
