Transwomen have periods too you know! Just no bleeding

I'm wondering about the 10th, too. What a relief it must be when there's a five week month and they get an extra week of being period-free!

Around the 10th every month? That's oddly specific. I wonder if that coincides with something else that might cause a crampy feeling?
Or they're just totally delusional.
You can't have a period of you don't have a uterus. My mum said it was one of the big benefits of a total hysterectomy. No periods, no hormonal fluctuations due to HRT…
Oh wait. I guess the rest of her internal organs forgot they were supposed to cramp as well.

I understand how they feel. Today I identified as a man and I had a massive boner for most of the day. Just because I don't have the apparatus doesn't mean it isn't so

Creased me up.....

Pregnant women get fluctuating emotions and cramps. Guess that means they’re having periods too?

My male friend and flat mate used to get hormonal fluctuations that made him grumpy and moody once a month. He totally acknowledged it; was worse than any woman's PMT that I've lived with.
So I can completely believe that male bodied people get monthly hormonal fluctuations.

BUT THAT IS NOT A PERIOD. A PERIOD IS WHEN YOUR WOMB SHEDS ITS LINING AND BLOOD COMES OUT OF YOUR VAGINA.

Whatever next??

Well that’s just daft.

But if that person is stuck in bed with severe internal pain every month, they really need to see a doctor. That’s a bit worrying.

The gap between the real world of transsexuals, who would never believe this tosh, and the cuckoo land of some under this transgender umbrella is increasingly scary.

And it illustrates over and over why I keep saying that we should do what we can to make it easier and cheaper to get through the bureaucracy of the GRA - as requested - but the need for psychological assessment up front in never more obvious.

We must offer some kind of dose of reality instead of self propelled trips into la la land which if this is anything to go by will be the consequence of full DIY transitioning.

"It makes you feel so powerful!"

Uh huh. WIELD that power. Oh yeah. You show me.

I don't have periods thanks to my contraception.
I do sometimes feel like I should be on my period, moody tearful, heavy feeling in my tummy. I assume that is my natural hormones fluctuating as they would and interacting with the artificial ones.
I would never call this being on my period, how bizarre.
My actual periods involved horrible cramps, awful moods including temper tantrums and crying and blinding debilitating migraines. Oh yea and of course bleeding.
Wtf are these people on.
Surely the dose they take is constant throughout the month anyway.

I don’t know whether to read it or not.

Today I identified as a man and I had a massive boner for most of the day.

😂😂😂

I identified as a man last night and woke up to discover I had ejaculated in my sleep and sheets were soaked.

Oh, sorry, no, that was a night sweat from perimenopause.

If this doesn't show that the new Genderists are not literally ripping the piss out of women, then I don't know what is.

At what stage does someone have to become delusional enough to have MH intervention?

Because if this person actually believes this they need serious help.

Why do people ignore biological facts to this degree?

It's frightening tbh.

I understand how they feel. Today I identified as a man and I had a massive boner for most of the day. Just because I don't have the apparatus doesn't mean it isn't so.

Maybe the 9th is all you can eat at the local curry house? Or payday so theyre getting a takeaway? Periods come 4 weekly not on the same date each month ffs!

Honestly the thing that pisses me off most is the fact that they have been lying in bed all day, actual women can't take a day off to lie in bed each month with period pains ffs! We have to get on with it, I remember throwing up each month in the school toilets with period pain but I couldn't afford to take a day off school every 4 weeks. Imagine if every woman spent the day in bed when they had period cramps, the world would just stop.

And also the worrying lack of knowledge about female biology and how periods actually work, how little these people actually know about the female body.

'Around the 10th' was a massive clue. It's psychosomatic, mate!

they will no doubt be clamouring for their GP/local clinic to insert a coil via their female penis as soon as possible.

Oh my goodness, we need to spread awareness. Although I'm sure they know the risk of getting pregnant now, with their new womanly bodies and lady dicks.

There was a great twitter thread from a doctor on this the other day.

I'm still at the angry stage, I'm afraid.

This is so fucking distasteful (putting it mildly).

Nobody tell them about middleschmertz!

If this was a thing wouldn't post menopausal women on HRT have the same symptoms wouldn't it be a thing we'd all know about?

Googled it and for some reason the medical community seems to think period symptoms when you shouldn't have them are a cause for serious concern in women www.healthline.com/health/menopause/cramps-after-menopause#causes

Unexplained cramps are a cause for concern not something to be celebrated, I hope this trans woman gets better health care going forward especially if this isn't just imagined, there could be something seriously wrong!

Literally, no.

Yes, the Twilight Zone.

Some of the replies

“I have endometriosis and it causes me agonising pain whenever I get periods (or when I don't its pretty much all the time). Periods absolutely ruined my life. Please don't disregard our struggles just because you get moody sometimes.

And no I'm not a transphobe before you start”

And in reply

“I understand that it's upsetting to see people celebrating a biological event that's been a source of suffering for you personally, but this post isn't directed at you or for you.

trans women have their own experience of hormonal cycling and should be allowed to talk about it-“

Patronising fuck.
