AIBU that this is the most ridiculous thing for a company to claim.

"Can a transgender woman have a period? Absolutely. Many trans and gender-diverse people menstruate. Whether you’re a woman, a man, non-binary or agender, your body may menstruate too."

FFS. However, as I was just poised to buy some new period pants for DD, this is very useful as I will definitely buy from a different brand. Thanks, Modibodi, for clarifying my decision not to buy from you! 👍

[Honestly, do they not know their market? How many “gender diverse” customers do they have compared to mums buying pants for themselves and their daughters? Go woke go broke as they say.]

"Can a transgender woman have a period?
It doesn't say transwoman. It says transgender woman i.e. transman.

'HOW SOME TRANS WOMEN GET THEIR PERIOD'

That’s the title and it confirms it in the text

I can't work out if this is designed to escalate to the next level of gaslighting

Or if they themselves don't understand the language they're using.

No it doesn’t it clearly states that it’s the hormones that can cause periods.

Maybe it's a spelling mistake, for 'manstruate' (which involves a high degree of literal bollocks)

Who are the 14 percent so far who think YABU? I hope they just read it differently.

MidnightPatrol · 21/11/2025 12:45

I mean, they’re obviously wrong, but they’re in the business of selling period pants and I suppose this expands their market of potential customers.

It's the one thing that as a woman if I had the power to give it to a man I absolutely would. If you want to spend a week every month cramping, bleeding, headachey and nauseous and dealing with the absolute joy that is period shits by God here you go, take it from me.

Alas with all the will in the world, it's not to be.
