' You complain about your period, but trans women would give anything for your pain'

Total sad fetish!
20 years of having a migraine with every period - they can have mine too. Or is it just the blood they fetishise? I guess they don't want all the other problems that go with the blood.

How about they just buy some sanpo every month and donate them to a food bank? They get the joy and expense of buying it and women who can'r afford it get sanitary protection. Win Win.

I'd like to say great, have at it, because if men suffered from the lack of understanding from doctors about the pain, inconvenience, and effect on quality of life that menstruation and other gynecological issues can have on women, then there would be more push to solve them. No 11 year wait for treatment for endometriosis, for example. But obviously they can't.

PRoseLegend maybe we, with our wonky pelvic floors, can "cry" them a river it would indeed be appropriate since they're talking pish!

I wonder if they long for death in childbirth as well?

While we're at it, they can have my damaged pelvic floor. I can't sneeze without wetting myself unless I first very carefully cross my legs and do a kegel.

That's akin to telling a woman to suffer labour without help or intervention because some women would give anything to give birth.

Oh except women don't say that shit to each other do we?

As for the original comment, cry me a fucking river.

The poor loves. They need a couple of aspirin and a lie down.

Then they can FOTTFSOFATFOA.

Yes women, shut up moaning and whining like your biological reality and lived experience matters, except in the context of males who resent you for having it.

Such bollocks.

Ffs 🙄

On first reading I thought you meant your children not your periods utini

Probably because I felt a bit like that with DS1 last week.

They're welcome to mine, and the 2 to 6 days of hormonally induced migraines that come with them.

The thing is, you can't even imagine a transman saying "I wish I had a prostate" can you?

I’d gladly give them my peri menopausal flooding and horrrendous cramps. Not to mention the period shits which herald its evil approach.

Idiots.

It is so awful when having two children of your own makes rubs your nose in the realisation that you are seriously underprivileged because you can't have children. No. Wait. Hang on a minute...

Are their any articles where a trans man laments never being able to experience the pain of being bashed in the balls I wonder?

Or is it just always trans "women" and their weird fetishising of women's bodies?

They're also more than welcome to modern gynaecology

Truth!

The inequality in healthcare which puts women's health at the bottom of the healthcare and research agendas across the board is appalling.

Love this section. I wonder what their ex-wife and little children would say now, three years on.

Watching my wife go through her second pregnancy was actually a huge trigger for my gender dysphoria. I am lucky to have my own wonderful kids — the best result from my now-ending marriage

Endometriosis and adenomyosis from age 12. Been on opiates daily for 15 years. Life ruined by hormone treatments including those now being pushed on to children. Can’t even look after my own children on bad days like today.

Fuck off to the far side of fuck.

When I read articles like the the only words I can even be bothered to muster are:

Bore. Off.

They can have mine too.
They can have the days it feels like a small homunculus is scraping the insides of my uterus out with its long sharp fingernails.
They can have the days I can't go out because I need to change my tampon and pad hourly or I leak.
They can have all the hormonal fluctuations and crap that comes with it.
Or they can just suck it up and stop whining because life often doesn't give us what we want.

They’re more than welcome to my very heavy periods, accompanied by the kind of doubling up pain like being stabbed in the belly that woke me up the other night. This month I also had crippling backache as well, which I know they’d enjoy. Oh, and as a bonus, I can’t take anything stronger than paracetamol because NSAIDs clash dangerously with other meds I’m on and morphine based pain killers make me horribly sick.

I don’t crave chocolate but I am completely drained for a week, and my usual three day accompanying headache makes my period super fun.

Maybe we should auction our periods off to the highest brave and stunning bidder. No returns obviously, but I’m sure once they realise what a fabulous investment one week in four of pain and sticky mess is, they’ll appreciate the opportunity of experiencing proper cis privilege.

They can have my ovarian cancer diagnosis, the subsequent painful surgery to remove all my reproductive organs and the shitty weight gain from the HRT I have to take to prevent early onset osteoporosis
