Fucking hell. Is there really nothing left that can’t be fetishised and colonised by men?

If there is I'm sure they'll get right on that!

ElenOfTheWays · 13/07/2018 21:22

Urgh! I just had a really horrible mental image of someone inventing a gadget so that men can "menstruate" too.

They can have it.

Givemeallyourcucumber · 13/07/2018 21:22

I am currently on my period so this really takes the biscuit.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 13/07/2018 21:19

Yeah....

ElenOfTheWays · 13/07/2018 21:17

Saying this person is deluded is too kind. I don't see delusion, I see an enormous pack of lies.

Chardonnay, maybe that's the plus side; rather than introduce old spice flavoured towels, they'll just take the bloody perfume out of the recipe...?

I'm not at all anti-trans but this is just attention-seeking bollocks.

Well, there will be individuals giving birth without one of the symptoms next.

This is insanity. Utter insanity. Why on earth are we as a society pandering to this? It's like the emperors new clothes FFS

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 13/07/2018 20:59

Can't wait to see the sanpro.

Aisle after aisle of masculine scented product.

Floorplan · 13/07/2018 20:58

FUckfield off you prat women give birth not you

AngryAttackKittens · 13/07/2018 20:53

It's that combination of delusional and aggressive desire to say "fuck you" to women that we've all come to know and not love about TRAs.

InfiniteCurve · 13/07/2018 20:53

Speechless,only not quite....My personal head desk moment is "I hope every trans femme reading the "rebuttals" to these tweets feels validated by the fact that they all basically amount to either "Nu uh!" or some regurgitated inaccurate statement about uteruses that ignores the actual science behind cramps. "
What,like the actual science that says the uterus is a muscular organ,that sheds its lining each month if the woman is not pregnant,and that this process involves bleeding and contractions of the muscular tissue (cramps).Of the womb,though other bits of you can get upset too...
What on earth are people being taught in biology nowadays?

tobee · 13/07/2018 20:51

It's just fucking desperate, isn't it?

And worryingly, there are plenty of people, apparently, who will agree with the madness.

TruscumTeen · 13/07/2018 20:49

What on earth did I just read?

LemnisKate · 13/07/2018 20:45

Progesterone can give you terrible stomach cramps. Maybe other synthetic hormones do too. When I was having IVF and taking progesterone I had horrible cramping pains. Not a period. Not the same as a period. Not better, not worse, just a completely different thing. Just like being a trans woman is not the same as being a biological woman. Not better, not worse, just a completely different thing.

@superbirdtrooperbird She also said you could simulate the bleeding by making ice cubes with red dye and shoving them up your vag, so I'm assuming she's had reassignment surgery. What the actual ever fuck in the world? Why would you do that. Also, guessing frozen red dye isn't all that great a thing to put inside your actual body, especially as you're putting inside a part of you that didn't previously exist.

And . Even though said female has . The lack of recognition that the delusions of some trans women have nothing in common with the reproductive health problems that females experience is startling.

ADastardlyThing · 13/07/2018 20:37

I actually feel really sorry for this person too. They are clearly extremely unwell.

tinytemper66 · 13/07/2018 20:26

Men,even men who believe they are now women, can't have periods! End of! Don't give a shit if this is seen as a phobic comment!

thornyhousewife · 13/07/2018 20:26

God this poor person. They need intensive psychiatric care.

It’s very interesting to me that a huge percentage of female patients have no idea what a cervix is, let alone where it is, nor what a smear test is.

Which is why we all objected when CRUK removed "women" from their pages about smear tests and gynae cancers.

FrenchDucksSayCoinCoin · 13/07/2018 20:20

I’d like to comment, but unfortunately I’m unwell with pneumonia. I have all the symptoms apart from inflammation of my alveoli.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/07/2018 20:14

If these "symptoms" happen on the 10th of every month, then their body must comply to the gregorian calendar to take into account February with 28 days and others of varying length. That's convenient isn't it?
