What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

No they can't. How can they get 'pre-menstrual' anything if they don't menstruate?

I said this in my email:There is no documented case of a trans woman having a uterus so saying 'some trans women don't have uteruses' is incorrect. No Transwoman have periods - your claim that many do, is factually incorrect:'The United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) states that a period is the part of the menstrual cycle in which blood, comprising uterine lining, leaves the body. People who do not have ovaries and a uterus do not experience periods.

Just read the whole blog from modibodi with my husband - what the actual F - the world has gone mad, never buying from this brand.

We need to publicise that women have prostates too, because why not. It's just incorrect, or worded incorrectly at best. However, if they play it right, the latex gloves industry could make a mint out of this.

So you think its OK that a bunch of advertising execs who all know full well men don't need period pants, sat round a table deciding how they could exploit their 'vulnerability' to flog them to them regardless?
That they are lying to men that certain medical symptoms they may experience are due to them actually being women?
A man experiencing abdominal cramps or mood swings may well be suffering from a real medical condition. To pretend it's a period to flog him some padded pants is irresponsible to say the least.

Does a company promoting a factually incorreect understanding of biology (or lies as they used to be known) matter?

Of course it matters. As others have said, young people could read that and get a very incorrect understanding of how periods and reproduction works.

Words matter. Truth matters.

Plus women are sick of having our experiences minimised and mansplained to keep some troubled males happy.

Men do not have periods. End of story.

Can I ask you contact Modibodi and call them out on their lying? They have a contact form.

This is blatant lying.

Men do not have periods. End of story.

I mean, what is the harm that women and girls who cannot avoid the impact of menstruation on their lives have to let a group of male people fetishise their body functions?

What is the harm that women and girls have the support they need defocused from them to include a group of male people who make a considered choice to do this to themselves?

What is the harm to that a company that is set up to support female people just told female people that they should morally support male people in their considered choices that means that those male people can claim to be victims of 'periods'?

What is the harm that resources, including budget, that could be spent elsewhere is being directed towards male people who have absolutely no need for those resources.

yeah... we should just 'let it go'!

To people who don’t actually have periods?!

@surprisebaby12 Men who like to pretend they have periods for kicks are an extremely vulnerable minority? How? What’s vulnerable about them?

Oh come on. I know it's Friday afternoon, but put a bit of effort into it.

Thank you

So, because a group that you consider extremely vulnerable male people is not only gaslighting women and girls, but also being lied to themselves by anyone who supports this fetishising of female body functions, no one should express an opinion or highlight where companies are harming their primary market, who also happen to be female people?

We should be 'kind'?

Good to know.

Sounds like the sort of bs Dr evil, aka Helen webberly would say, what with her being batshit.

I think we're all over being told that men who want to pretend they get periods are an extremely vulnerable and persecuted minority.

Well that doesn’t make any sense.

If a transwomans male body can make a womb just by believing they are a woman then surely a transman can think away their womb just by believing that they are a man

You can’t have it both ways

Or maybe their marketing team need to learn what a period is before making ridiculous untrue statements

Transwomen have a side affect of the hormones they are taking.

Note to company

Learn the difference between a side effect and a period

🙄🙄🙄

Men in dresses probably

Does it matter? Trans people are an extremely vulnerable minority that is persecuted on all fronts every day. Just let it go.

It's the oddest addition to the site. Grown-ups know about periods, right? So if, as the article seem to be implying, it is a perfectly normal, 'validating', nothing-to-see-here moment, why are they explaining it - and to whom? And why in such infantile language? It's the 'mummy laid an egg' or 'special cuddle' of period pants.

Unless...no wait....unless it's an exercise in 'persuasive writing'

I don't think 'the left' can be held responsible for the actions of a global company with £14 billion market cap seeking to exploit another source of profit. Any more than 'the left' are behind the big pharma supplying the drugs that (allegedly) mimic some of the 'symptoms' these individuals claim to experience. If anything this should serve as a timely reminder to 'the right' about how unscrupulous capitalism can be.

"Some transwomen don't have uteruses..."

That's quite an astonishingly gaslighting statement - ZERO transwomen have uteruses!
