What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

Well that would be a neo-vagina, not a vagina.

Neo-vaginas are constructed either by inverting the penis and possibly using the removed scrotum as the internal lining. Or by using a piece of the person's colon to create the cavity.

In the case of the former, hair often grows inside the cavity. In the latter, it will often smell of faeces. In both, the owner will often suffer frequent UTIs and will need to dilate the cavity to stop it closing itself.

You're welcome.

An open wound which has to be constantly dilated because it tries to heal itself is not a vagina.

There may be transwomen with inverted penises, simulating a vagina, but those surgical constructions aren’t actually vaginas (which are organs in their own right) any more than a kidney can become a liver.

Now do you see why a period products company claiming that some transwomen have uteruses is blatantly telling lies?

Ooops, sorry. Perhaps I am an idiot. I meant a vagina. Doubtless some of you won't like that either.

I definately am not drunk.

Looks like the Feminism board is leaking.

(Hooray!)

I think it's brilliant that finally we can all talk freely on this subject without fear of reprisal or banning or cancellation.

And I speak as the mum of a (wonderful, special, beautiful and basically happy) transboy daughter who's probably just a lesbian really but got caught up in it all.

Assuming we are talking about people that are born as male but identify and have transitioned as female then no they don't, it's impossible and nothing it's just the way it is at least for now unless they make and start giving an artificial reproductive system or something. But think there's alot of science work to do before that happens.

They must have been pissed then at the time they explained it to you.

You think there are successful womb transplants currently available?

I think whoever told you this was having you on, sorry to tell you 😆

Are you sure you mean a uterus?

I've ha done for 80 years so I do have an inckling.

Don't be rude.

Do you know what a uterus actually is?

I’m going to tell you this for free: there have been ZERO cases of a successful transplant of a uterus into a man, anywhere ever in the world. (What blood vessel systems would it connect to, for one thing?)

The genderists aren’t sending their best today, are they 😆🤣

I don't drink. Don't be rude and insulting. The surgical procedure was explained to me by someone who had undergone it.

Yes, the menstrual cycle is long established knowledge, and yet no one seems to point this out to the “trans women have periods” brigade.

It’s actually progesterone, not oestrogen, that controls the menstrual cycle; and very few transwomen ever take progesterone to start with. Even if they did, it would be a static dose like “gender affirming” oestrogen.

Why else do they think the progesterone-only pill would prevent one’s period? It’s because it’s the drop in progesterone at the end of the cycle that triggers both PMS and the period. The drop in progesterone allows prostaglandin production to increase in the muscle of the uterus and surrounding tissues, which is what causes period pain and cramping. (Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that cause inflammation and pain, and stimulate muscle contractions in the uterus.)

Taking some oestrogen isn’t even the right hormone to cause period “symptoms” even if they took a cyclical dose - which they don’t.

Nope

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the quality we can expect to have on a Friday evening. It's this or by their own admission, they're already pissed.

Oh c'mon now, don't be an idiot 🙄

They have a surgical procedure

They have a surgical procedure

Surgical procedure

Transwomen are men, so no they don't.

Extremely rare DSDs do exist, but there is zero overlap between these individuals and trans identification

I'll bite

Exactly how would a male human have a utetus (sans jar on a shelf etc) ?

🍿

Some transwomen have uteruses? Could you explain how?
