What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

Thought you were off to drink wine? I would too after a post like that. I did actually read it but as you'd expect with someone who thinks men can be women and openly calls for facts to bugger off, there was nothing to it. You called chromosomes complicated (true, but men still can't be women, what's that got to do with the price of period pants?), threw a tantrum, accused us of harming people because we know men aren't women and... that was it. That's all there ever is. And you know it as well as we do.

Pesky facts, eh?

In the nicest possible way, this is absolute nonsense though.

Men do not get periods. Biological sex is a well understood phenomenon, where bodies develop around the production of small or large gametes. No human in the history of mankind has ever changed sex.

Gender non-conforming people have existed throughout history. Fetishistic disorders have existed throughout history. None of these mean that men are actually women.

It clearly states the hormones can cause period symptoms not an actual period, they just class the monthly symptoms as their period

you say bugger off with the 'biological facts facts matter' crap".

I say bugger off with the lies. Biology does matter. Biological women and their periods and their sometimes horrendous side effects matter. Men who pretend to bleed need help not affirmation that they have uteruses and actually bleed from their non existent wombs.

Say you didn’t fully read the post without fully reading the post….

And can the TERFs please bugger off with their ‘biological facts matter’ crap

These guys literally admitting that they want facts to bugger off 🫠

Have you not seen the TW all over SM complaining about the symptoms they experience during their "period"? Have a heart, the cramping brings some of them to tears because the pain is so intense and debilitating!!!!!

As someone who suffered from endo and adeno it makes me furious that they are taken seriously by some people.

And can the TERFs please bugger off with their ‘biological facts matter’ crap on this board. First off, a GCSE in biology does not make you an expert. The biology of chromosomes is actually far more complex, who knew! And let’s not even start on neurodevelopment, which is also biology. The fact is trans people have existed throughout history, so there is clearly a biological reason for them existing in all nations at all points through time, even if we don’t fully understand it. Screaming that people are lying or ignoring biology is wilful ignorance.

sorry for the rant, it has been a long day and I have truly had it with this hate filled nonsense which does real damage to people I love and their families.

I’m off to drink wine. And no, I’m not getting into this with anyone.

I’m sure you think this makes you sound so liberal and clever, but mate…

vomit inducing crap - bonus hole

Maybe comment on their social media ads

On the programme they actually let the gender studies woman imply it was better.

There's that Ben Elton routine where he scene sets a chap about to stroll onto a cricket pitch when Mr Blobby comes to visit. It's the same one where he likens the coil to barbed wire.

Ofc nowadays Elt is a premier Ally and couldn't bring himself to be anything other than affirmative about Jordan Grey getting his todger out on the brief Saturday night live comeback. Who says women can't do it all

Ah they are just trying to flog their period underwear to a wider audience. The article says trans women don’t bleed, but they can wear period underwear to “affirm” their identity. It’s just marketing. Nonsense, but marketing.

edited to add that it will likely have the opposite effect when women boycott in droves.

They may get side effects from the hormones they take. But calling it PMS is utter pandering when there's no menstruation. And there's never going to be any menstruation. Because males cannot menstruate.

So let's just call it for what it is...the side effects of 'feminising' hormones when taken by biological males.

In a nutshell, your friends heterosexual son has got a girlfriend.

Saddles for unicorns. 🦄!

Utterly ridiculous. They say on their website "some trans women don’t have uteruses" - which implies, completely falsely, that some do!

It matters. Biological facts matter. Real biological women matter too. Children need to be taught biological facts. It matters.

Men and their fetishes aren't more important that women and girls.

I am on my period at the moment. I am wearing period pants so i don't leak blood everywhere. I don't wear them to feel empowered, life affirming or whatever. I would happily give my periods to a trans woman. Although after a week of pain, flooding and anaemia i think they will want to give me my periods back!

Well, I suppose it could happen, if a trans man wished to identify as a woman? Wouldn’t they then become a trans woman (as well as being an actual woman)? There’s some complicated shit around - a friend has a trans daughter (born male) who is in a relationship with a trans man (born female). They were also in a relationship before the trans man transitioned. I cannot get my head round it.

I mean, where is the harm in educating female children that male people are just like them and can have periods too?

Where is the harm in educating female children that their unique body functions are not unique at all. And that male people experience them too! And any male person who then tells those female children that they experience debilitating periods as well so there is nothing to worry about - those male people
are not doing any fucking harm at all!!

Nothing like educating our girls that their menstrual issues are experienced by all the population who want to claim them, including male people who produce videos of their horrendous experiences of ‘periods’, so that those girls don’t have either accurate information about menstruation or don’t have the awareness that intensely painful periods should potentially be discussed with a doctor.

The fact that some posters think this group of male people should ‘be left alone’ shows just how little they care about women and girls.

There are so many reasons why normalising male people having ‘periods’ is harmful to female people. But I guess if you centre male people in your life over female people it comes naturally.
