A woman was thrown out of a FB feminist group for challenging the idea that transwomen get periods.

apparently they DO get periods just without the small aspect of bleeding.

She was told that she was minimising transwomen's periods.

Periods of what, exactly? Lunacy? That's monthly, isn't it?

www.nhs.uk/conditions/period-pain/

If you don't have a womb, it's not period pain. A bio male can't possibly know what it feels like, any more than a bio woman can know what pain in the testicles feels like. Minimising and appropriating women's pain is misogynistic.

No! I haven't seen it. These men are just entirely delusional. It is frightening.

Good grief.

Well, at least they can't complain that women talking about biological function is exclusionary, can they?

Ritz - have you seen the ones on FB who claim to be pregnant and then to have suffered a miscarriage?

If pressed, they will agree that there was no foetus, but still claim it to be a phantom pregnancy as real as any woman's phantom pregnancy, they still claim the psychological and emotional attachment to the pregnancy that a woman feels and claim the same distress when the 'miscarriage' occurs. There was one who was fundraising for one of those 'newborn dolls' to help him work through his grief.

I am pretty much off FB now, but will see if I can find it.

Prompting the muscle movement to "do the thing"

WHAT MUSCLE? The only thing I can see being stretched is credibility.

The sheer hate for someone who dares come along with basic facts is staggering.

How would you detect a phantom pregnancy in a pregnant transwoman? By dowsing?

Favourite comment -

'He should see my small aspect. I'd be happy to mail him my used pads next time. Asshole.'

Hard to minimise something that does not exist.

TheUterati · 25/04/2018 13:26

That would be the non-existent muscle movements of the non-existent uterus would it?

'She was told that she was minimising transwomen's periods.'

Where do you even begin with this level of madness? Shock
