Ok so someone educate me about neo vaginas **Title edited by MNHQ at the OP's request**

Sorry about bold fail

Well this post menopausal woman is still lucky enough to orgasm on average 5 times per go.
Just felt like throwing that in. grin This one too Backinthecloset Also during PIV which never happened before Which is a bonus

*the same

I got told no sex at the end as it was triggering contractions.

And I was advised to do the opposite, for exactly the reason!

Saw this last night and didn't bite, I needed sleep and so glad I did, the zombie threads always make an interesting breakfast read.

Like barelove I have also done the breast milk eye infection trick - works a treat as I hate going to the doc.

Even without all the quoting of fictional 'science' the OP sure does believe it. It really is Self ID when you have a person believing their own science and anything less than offering validation (as we have to believe it too) is not enough for their ego.

Interesting that the story changes along the way too, perhaps as the science does, maybe that is also fiction.

Orgasms when pregnant proved how involved the uterus is. In fact in my last pregnancy I got told no sex at the end as it was triggering contractions.

Honestly am baffled as to how someone can seriously think a surgeon can turn a Male anatomy into a female anatomy. It's very odd.

Plus the lubricating scrotal skin. Never come across that before 🤮

Is no one going to mention the period poo?Never hear about anyone trying to emulate that particular joy of womenhood,

Oh, i've seen that appropriated too.

Erm very stinky farts just before my period starts. I mean clear a room type of stinky. They never smell that bad at any other time of the month

Is no one going to mention the period poo? You know (cos you is women, innit) that huge shit you have just as your period is due to start/starts? Never hear about anyone trying to emulate that particular joy of womenhood, even those who are sticking frozen tomato sauce sachets up their behinds.

Near the beginning of both of my pregnancies, I had a brief, but very distinct sensation in my womb, (just once each time) which I’ve always thought of as being like a bumblebee buzzing in there. I’ve always had very irregular periods, so both times it was before I’d suspected... The first time, I wondered what it was, but the second time I immediately thought I must be pregnant again.

Masculinising during menopause?

Deary me. I did click on the report button because I was so incensed, but deleted my report, because this utter bilge is always better left to stand.

I’ll care about your difficult journey, Lucy, the very second that you give the tiniest shit about mine through infertility, endometriosis, adenomyosis, multiple gynae surgeries, oophrectomy, radical hysterectomy, premature menopause and the cavalcade of related, typically female auto immune dysfunction that followed. All due to being female.

If you ever do find that empathy, please do feel free to check back in and tell me again how we’re physiologically indistinguishable.

Ovulation pain, like a stitch

The German language coined a word for it - 'Mittelschmerz', 'middle-pain', because it comes roughly in the middle of your cycle.

The weirdest thing for me was how labour ended. Those overwhelming contractions that thunder through your body, totally out of your control, going on and on, then finally the baby arrives, and they carry on again, then the placenta comes out - and bang! They stop. Just. Like. That. How does that happen?

If you are still here. My sister has DSD and i have seen the anguish that has often caused her so you have all my sympathy for suffering from one of these conditions. But that does not mean you can claim to be something you are not, whatever adjustments you have made to yourself. My sister would tell you that she only found peace by finally accepting herself as she is, and being proud to be different. I hope the same for you.

The let down reflex is the strangest thing I've ever experienced, because nobody had told me anything about it. It's been almost 6 months since I completely weaned my second child and I can still imagine the sensation perfectly.

I was also mightily surprised to find out that my breasts worked as a unit rather than separately, so that milk came out of both nipples rather than just the one the baby was latched onto. I suppose this would be handy if you had twins! And I had no idea the milk would come out of so many holes rather than just one as I had naively imagined.

Before I did it, I imagined breastfeeding would be just like the baby sucking the milk out of a bag through a straw, which I suppose it is to a certain extent, but gosh aren't breasts incredible - there's so much more to it! I agree that girls should be told more about their bodies (boys too for that matter). Even if they never end up using or ever intend to use their breasts to nourish a baby, at the very least this stuff is interesting. Though it's undoubtedly one of those things you have to experience first hand to really 'get'.

When my new baby had an eye infection I had such a strong instinct to squirt some of my milk into his eye that I did and his eye got better. I confessed to my midwife a few days later and she told me that before modern medicine, women's breast milk was always used to cure eye infections.

Our breast milk is sweet and greasy and amazing!

Thanks Rachel.

Sorry, went off on a late night feminist rant again

Yes to ovulation pain too!

The greatest gift we could give young girls is to teach them more about their bodies, and how amazing they are. I'm 48 and I only saw that beautiful picture of the clitoris this year.

We need to halt the pornified objectification of women's bodies, and start teaching about how wonderful women's bodies are, about female sexuality, actual empowerment of women and girls, rather than the patriarchal view of women that porn and lapdancing is empowerment and that the female body exists for men's pleasure.

I, too, had the ovulation pop Barracker, sometimes it really hurt!

Also remember the milk 'let down' when I heard a baby cry, even if it was not my baby.

I did used to get that and I went for various tests to find out what was wrong and nobody had a clue,

Same here. Before I knew what it was, my doctor said it was the 'guy ropes' pulling.

@Barracker

I did used to get that and I went for various tests to find out what was wrong and nobody had a clue, and not one medical professional suggested it might be my ovaries. Finally a friend suggested it and it was the first time I'd heard of it and she was completely right as I noticed after that that the pain did come on alternate sides. It strengthened my distain for the gynecological profession

Oh, I used to get that Barracker. Was brilliant, knowing what my body was up to even down to which ovary had released the egg this month. (And occasionally realising they'd both gone - usually separated by 2 or 3 days... eek, to think I could be the mum of non-identical twins...) I suspect I could have used natural contraception really effectively - 29 day cycle bang on the nose, always knew when I was ovulating.

And I do still vividly remember the afterpains while breast feeding (and that strange tingly shooting pain from the armpit down the outside of my breast that was the let-down reflex).

For me, the letdown reflex was a lip bitingly intense moment.

And, again for me, that wonderful empty boob feeling after my now suddenly perfectly delightful baby, had addressed my watermelons with gusto.
