To not stop saying that menstruation is a women's issue?

[HermioneWeasley]

Despite the fact that Twitter loons insist that it is triggering for trans women and erasing trans men?

On behalf of the millions and millions of women and girls suffering due to periods, and lack of access to sanpro and toilets (a FAR bigger human rights issue than where people with gender dysphoria pee) , I will keep saying this is a women's issue.

I agree!!!

I'm so glad I don't use twitter/tumblr etc.

Indeed it is.

Duchy you are wise

It brings at least as much grief as fun/insight etc

You are indeed correct!

Of course it is! Because it only affects women. Ain't rocket science.

Triggering how, exactly? I'm sick of people looking for reasons to take offence.

Triggering? How?

I'm baffled that it could be construed as anything other than a woman's issue?

OP, I totally agree with you.

I think some of you have missed the memo that "woman" isn't a biological category anymore, (according to some at least) it means "anyone who does or doesn't identify as a woman from time to time"

I agree. It's incredibly damaging to women's access to reproductive justice to have this nonsense tossed about.

How could it be triggering? People who were born male do not menustrate. Why is that news to anybody, or any more "triggering" (I hate that fucking word) than talking about the male (naturally) penis might make woman feel jealous that they don't have one??

Is almost Monty Python like.

One again some people need reminding that being "offended" does not make someone "right"

YANBU. Obviously. Fucking idiots.

it triggers them into remembering that they're not women?

ego agree, there are many sensible trans individuals who don't want to trample all over women. But some do, and have been astonishingly successful at getting people to talk about "people who menstruate" and "birthing individuals"

I have never heard a woman with PCOS (for example) insist that women don't talk about menstrauation because it's "triggering" for them.

Unfortunately the trans activism movement has been taken over online by a bunch of social justice warriors who won't accept that there are differences between women and transwomen. Sane voices are becoming fewer and fewer because the slightest hint you may deviate from their agenda leads to (at best) shouts of terf and bigot.

Why won't they accept there are differences ? They must see them every day

Maybe that's why they are pissed off

This sums up the problem

*Loads of thing remind transwomen that their body is not the body it should be.

There's fuck all we can do about it.*

I know Ego, I was being sarcastic (and I agree with you)
