Transwomen have periods too you know! Just no bleeding

You go ahead and keep thumbing your nose at the mods then, if that is what you choose. I won't bother you again.

But ‘a period’ is the body shedding the lining of the womb.

The reaction to the body of that process are not ‘period like symptoms’ they’re reactions of the body to the physical process.

Therefore ‘period like symptoms’ doesn’t really work. Yes I get the shits when I am on my period but if someone said they got ‘period like symptoms’ I would assume they meant the contraction of the womb and the feeling of heaviness and like your body is literally falling out.

Not the shits as that’s a secondary issue that happens as a reaction to the period.

@GardenGeek There is no such thing a a "cis" person because we are human beings and not isomers.

Here is a pertinent part of the new guidelines that address using the term:

That said, it’s clear that most trans people find the use of pronouns or names that they or others have consciously rejected, to be hurtful and would therefore struggle to engage in a discussion with those who insist on using them. The same is true of the expression ‘Trans-Identified Male’ or ‘TIM’. Likewise, many feminists are affronted by the term ‘cis’ and ‘terf’, so using these terms will make civil debate less likely. As we’ve said, context is everything – but it’s likely that going forward our moderation team will delete these expressions.

That would be a very different Basemenr Jaxx tune

It's good of you to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I've read far too many identical narratives and skimmed vids, to do the same!

Plus where's your uterus at?

I Do not have anything against trans but Your just reacting to the hormone tablets that you take as a side affect as really men and women have set hormones and testosterone etc when you adding stuff into your body that really shouldn't be there in the first place it's reacting to it! Like what every person gets moody, eats a lot and cramps even if I'm not due on my period. I think it's abit to far to even call it a period when you do not have the correct amount of hormones a born women actually have.

it's just so fucking insulting. 'Crampy and sad' my FAT arse..

Anyway this 'around the 10th of the month' thing is a bit of a giveaway isn't it? since when did periods follow the calender? But then women know that , don't they? because they're..er...you know, women.

For me, personally, it's more about the fact that they are fetishising female biology.

It's a level up from pure appropriation. Many AGP individuals are quick to deny that it even exists. Despite it being practised all over the net. Quite openly.

It's bad enough appropriating female biology with this nonsense framing. But knowing it's arousing, at the same time?

I have too many ughs to be able to form an articulated response, to be honest.

The week before my period I am so fucking enraged I don't want anyone near me. Sex drive is like minus figures, the idea just repulses me. Makes me want to scream. Head feels fuzzy and I feel very anxious. These knobbers appropriating our things probably have blue liquid coming out of their winkles like on the telly that's about how much idea they have

What complete and utter bollocks.

Surely it's just an adverse drug reaction combined with a psychosomatic desperation. One needs something new and interesting all the time when one's obsessed with oneself. You have to talk about something I suppose. Fake periods must be the latest thing. They'll never get over the fact that women can have periods without even putting make-up on or wearing high heels.

I'm not sure if there is any basis. Apparently the argument being made is that somehow the artificial hormones interact with the male body in such a way as to create a hormonal cycle similar to that of a biological female.

Zero evidence of this of course but that doesn't seem to be any barrier to making the claim.

First time I’ve seen the word ‘cisters’ What the actual?

'Support your Sisters, not your Cisters' is a common TRA slogan

Trans stigmata I shouldn't laugh because this person clearly has a very serious health condition and might actually be at deaths door, but that's bloody funny.

Come on shadowboy when you're bent double with pain and scrabbling about for paracetamol, haven't you ever just felt the urge to tweet about your "cramps" with your "cisters"?

Just told my husband about this. He is incredulous.

One of his best friends is a transwoman (the old fashioned kind who just wants to get on with her life with her long term chap and be left the fuck alone) so he’s not your typical straight white 50 year old either.

This kind of batshittery fors transfolk no good politically. I stand with all the reality aware transpeople who want to take a stand against this TRA nonsense.

A period is shedding the lining of the womb. If you don't have a womb, you can't shed its lining therefore you can't have a period.
