Transwomen have periods too you know! Just no bleeding

She lost me at 'natural cycle', nothing natural about trans hormones..

ppl have such a hard time understanding that other parts of the body besides the uterus are involved in period cramping

No, it's not hard to understand at all. I can clearly see that this person is having quite a severe brain cramp while writing this gibberish.

Where are the older transwomen complaining about menopause symptoms

On here. At least one transwoman has explained how badly they were affected by the menopause.

Of course, they were no such thing. It turned out that "badly affected by the menopause" meant "had six months of experimentation with oestrogen that made me feel a bit odd sometimes".

It was as risible as it was appropriative and clueless. this person also did not take kindly to me, someone who has been through menopause, that six months of slightly-odd-on-hormones is nothing to most women.

I heard the whole article in the voice of Eric Cartman. I recommend it.

Look at Tortle Boy here. It’s a wonder he can find his way out of bed in the mornings.

It’s all part of this idea that they have got from films about ‘all girls together’, having pillow fights, discussing periods, crying etc.

FOR FUCKS SAKE.

But doesn’t this just typify how men do not have a clue about how the female body works, particularly around reproductive issues.

The level of biological ignorance is staggering.

And it is also incredibly misogynistic to reduce something that so dominates the lives of many women to a set of niggly little symptoms and dealing with heavy bleeding and cramps as by the by.

Women bleed as part of their reproductive cycle. It’s fine tuned process that involves many different organs and hormones. And it’sa damn sight more complex than a few cramps and a bit of bleeding and feeling a bit sad.

How dismissive of the struggle women face with reproductive issues and the stigma around periods and women’s bodily functions.

The is misogyny. This is womanhood reduced to pantomime.

I’ve just had a look at some of the replies on the full Twitter thread. There are quite a lot of very excited transwomen who are now looking forward to starting their periods, and are making a note to be especially nice to themselves during the time of the month etc.

I have given the OP a recommendation for SanPro.

Wait for them to start getting uterus and ovary transplants, it could well happen.

I peaked

I actually just read a transwoman replying to someone on Quora, who said she was sad she'd never have a period but carried tampons and pads because that's what women do. 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.

The 4000 woke idiots who have liked this tweet and collaborated in this person’s delusions should feel ashamed.

@Childrenofthestones actually phantom pains aren't entirely phycsiological that's as insulting to me as an amputee as it is to me as a women this trans period bullshit.
I once had a leg and a foot which my nerve endings still think is there transwomen have never had a womb to start with.

Where are the older transwomen complaining about menopause symptoms? Surely if they have "periods" they'd have the menopause too?

"human physiology is largely plastic & interchangeable"

Aw, bless, they think we're all like Mr Potato Head.

I want to know what "other stuff" is meant to be cramping during a period, because I don't seem to get that. I got a bit of a leg cramp once, but I'm pretty sure that was from sleeping in an awkward position rather than because my lady hormones told my ladybrain that I should be cramping all over.

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.

But it's like tumbleweed on these types of threads. Is it because the views highlighted are from the 'wrong type' of transwomen?

Weird how some threads are avoided completely.

Utterly delusional. No uterus = no period. Period.

Because the bleeding bit is so inconsequential. We don't have to worry about finding a loo to change our sanpro regularly, make sure we've always got spares on us in case we start a day or two early. I've got the implant now which is great because I don't have to worry about that stuff at the moment - I also don't have periods!

human physiology is largely plastic & interchangeable

Erm, no it's not.

flourella, yes, that quote! 😆

Oh FFS, that is utterly ridiculous. Are we sure it’s not satire? Oh, I wish it was 😔

All the symptoms except...symptom?!

How is the bleeding a symptom of a period? The bleeding is literally a period.

FFS

Lochia obv

Another point is that periods are rare if you are living as a cavewoman. I had next to no bleeding during my 15 year stretch as a breastfeeding mother of 4.

I wonder where the word period came from. Oh yes, periodic bleeding. Get real you ridiculous wannabees.

Delusional

Haven't RTFT but...
'ppl have such a hard time understanding that other parts of the body besides the uterus are involved in period cramping'

Thinking back, I simply wouldn't have noticed if any other part of my body was cramping because the pain from my uterus was so completely overwhelming. The only thing it's remotely like, IMO, is labour. In some ways worse because the dysmenorrhea was continuous, at least labour contractions had breaks.

Why does that person - oozing contempt for women - have such a hard time understanding that unless you're a female you have no bloody clue what having a period is like.
