Transwomen have periods too you know! Just no bleeding

I am actually quite astonished at how many deluded people there are around. I know many in real life. Not trans but people who think one thing, the reality being very different and there is confusion and surprise when faced with the truth.

These people usually live in a bubble. I say just enjoy the performance and let them get on with their hallucinations.

You know nothing about menopause, Bespin. MenoPAUSE is a pause, a stop, in menses. As you’ve never had menses you can’t have a menopause. Menopause isn’t feeling a bit weird for a day or two due to side effects of drugs, it’s often years of distressing, unphotogenic, and very personal symptoms which have a sometimes deep and distressing impact on their lives. Please stop appropriating women’s experience.

Also, yes it’s one transwoman being quoted but there are plenty of other examples of this particular appropriative bit of batshittery online. And Bria is getting 1-2 thousand retweets and 4-6 thousand likes for each tweet about it, as it currently stands. So it’s not just them.

MrsBertBibby totally we are just like. other sectors we have really dumb people to and that ok. its not. all running the Internet you know lol

I do think it's worth remembering this is a dopey mind-fart by one trans woman.

Not an offering by the TransHiveMind. Trans women are as different from each other as the rest of the human race are.

My toddler kicked me in the testicules this morning. It smart a bit, but nowhere near as much as blokes would have us think when they get a wallop to the gonads; no need for all the floor rolling that they usually engage in.

Hook them up to that machine that simulates labour see how fast they fold

They can't 'take them away'.

It's literally physically impossible without a uterus or mammary glands.

It's a desperate bid for attention. That's all it is.

UglyCathKidstonBag as for my view on this thread so just going on the op and I'm sorry but I'm not reading 9 pages on this topic as the
the consept is bullshit I dislike it when we appropriate things we don't have do people taking hrt get hormonal mood swings totally is a period no. hormones do some really strange things like when we come off them pre op for 4 weeks and have the same symptoms of a mini menopause (which was fun, not,) so I can simpithise with people who that an actual menopauseand was glad it only lasted 4 weeks. it would be interesting to get proper data on this and there are older trans people who do try to explain to young trans girls what it is like and how things change when you get older, and sometimes they even. listen to us lol

what can I say some trans people are ideots

This breaks my heart. I just feel like everything a woman was born to do is being taken away, I’m all for trans rights I really am, but surely there’s a way for trans people to be equal to men and women without invalidating another genders rights? I get they want to be seen as real women, but I feel like they want to be better than real women really. Periods and breast feeding? Literally two of the things that make me feel most like a woman, and that would probably make them feel like a woman too, but aren’t possible, are being taken away from me.

I don’t even know how to explain how I feel really, I understand how badly they want it, but it just completely invalidates women’s experiences.

a woman

This is what happens when being a women is a feeling.

People start feeling the most bizarre things, because it's all about the feels, not biology.

Good post Igorina

I get wind that feels like the fluttery feelings of early pregnancy

I am not pregnant and the wind is in my stomach

But it's the same, right? I'm transpregnant

Gosh I think we should all band together as “women” in the world and officially state our case to say we can be called “men” from now on. Let these “trans girls” have the term “women” if they want it that bad. The only thing is all other “men” have to give their title to us. We would get whole the world in a right tiz and maybe everyone will finally see how silly this has gotten.

You know what would put an instant stop to this type of madness? Men sharing the experience as well, it's not only transwomen that have regular monthly mood swings. I say men have them too, let's share our periods women, why should we be so selfish? Everyone wants a peice of the pie. Let's give it to them. Here's to #MEN'stration.

If this person doesn't have another early-stage disease then the only explanation left is that they have Munchausen's Syndrome.

Oh FFS next you know they'll self diagnose with PCOS to justify the lack of bleeding.hmmhmm

You're too late. Pcos is really intersex which means that biological sex isn't binary dontchaknow... Which means that dudes can totally have periods and up is down and blue is red...
Remember when words used to mean things? Now they're just personal noises to screech on the interwebz.

I had endometriosis and adenomyosis; funnily enough the monthly, cyclical, excruciating pain and heavy clotted bleeding went away after hysterectomy and being on an HRT that contains testosterone.
Does this mean?
A. I could still be having periods and not realise, as my uterus being in a bucket shouldn't be a barrier to that.
B. I'm actually male because I'm on testosterone?

So many women on that twitter thread bending over backwards to validate a delusional fantasy. Some are even claiming they have bloodless periods!

I don’t know whether I should be despairing at the failure of sex ed to impart basic knowledge of human anatomy. Or despairing at how desperate these women are for male approval that they’ll agree and support whatever absurdity is being claimed.

Namechanged if you know a transwomen who regularly has unexplained bleeding please do encourage them to seek medical advice at the earliest opportunity.

I worry that the younger generation will have a very tenuous grasp on human biology if its taboo to point out that the things trans people say are not factually correct...

It's just occurred to me how quiet these type of threads are with counter opinions from some of the FWR regular posters. On so many other threads, familiar posters often appear by the third or fourth post to point out how females and the majority of posters on this board are wrong, biological sex is a social construct, transwomen are women. sex-segrated spaces are discriminatory, etc.

I had exactly the same thought. I'd love to hear what one of them think about this.

You show me the blood and I'll show you the humanity!

I'm a bit saddened no one is taking this seriously.

Where is the humanity?
