Trans women do not have periods.

According to period pants maker Modibodi, transwomen can have 'periods'. Periods which are just as valid apparently.

Whilst I'm not going to suggest I know what hormone treatment tied to a trans woman, I can confidently say that no, they don't have periods. Periods involve blood. Trans women don't bleed.

Modibodi seem to acknowledge that there is no bleeding involved I transwomen's 'periods' but bizarrely under a section on how to manage their periods, trans women should wear period pants. For the life of all God's WHY???! Wtf would wear period pants if they didn't have to?

I've just had 24 hours of 'cramping' due to norovirus. Properly doubled over cramping
It felt nothing like period symptoms but a TW will never know that because they are not female and will never experience a period

What some endocrinologists do is create a cycle with differing levels of estrogen and progesterone through a 28 day cycle.

It really is quite cruel to do this and tell these male people that they now have a ‘period’. When they clearly do not.

Ugh I hate this medical Frankenstein aspect, it's so disturbing.

Of course trans women can't have periods, they lack the biological necessities.

Im fed up with the fetishing of womens pain by men who for centuries have placed women at a disadvantage because of their biology.

At this point I can only assume men are laughing at women’s pain.

None of these TW will ever wake up covered in blood, having to change the sheets in the middle of the night, be worried about what to wear or go swimming due to heavy periods.

What they’re experiencing is their body reacting to them pumping their bodies full of unnecessary drugs. It’s self induced. If it’s that fucking painful, stop taking the drugs.

By 2032 it’s anticipated that the sex reassignment industry will be worth $1.95 BILLION (US) alone. Then there are all the ancillary industries inc period pants for trans women.

The pushing of this agenda is nothing to go with well-being, being kind etc (except as marketing ploys), it’s about creating a market, it’s about making cash. The best way women can tackle this is hitting companies in their pockets. I can guarantee once profits dry up so will support for the pushing of this agenda.

Do trans women have periods?
Many trans women have periods.

A transwoman, someone born male who has a womb who now identifies as a woman.

I would like to see who these trans women are because they must be a scientific miracle. But according to the article, there are many males who were born with a womb.

Where are these trans women, who are these trans women

I hope that women who decide to stop buying Modibody products write to tell them so.

I’m past all that palaver (ooo clearly I’m no longer a woman by TRA “logic”) but I’ll look carefully at who owns any continence products when the time comes, as come it inevitably will…

How some trans women get their period

Yes, anyone can get their period, trans women included

Menstruation, often referred to as a period, is a part of many people’s lives. Defined as the periodic discharge of blood and tissue from the uterus, menstruation is just one stage of the larger menstrual cycle, which typically takes place over 28 days.

Can a transgender woman have a period? Absolutely. Many trans and gender-diverse people menstruate. Whether you’re a woman, a man, non-binary or agender, your body may menstruate too.

This article explores the different ways trans women get their period and provides some tips on navigating your cycle.

Got a trans woman or trans girl in your life who you want to support? There are some pointers in here for you, too.

Support? It’s performative nonsense. I have real life issues to deal with.

HootyMcBooby · 22/12/2023 11:17

So they LITERALLY define a "period" as "discharge of blood and tissue from the uterus" and then go on to say ....
"Can a transgender woman have a period? Absolutely. Many trans and gender-diverse people menstruate. Whether you’re a woman, a man, non-binary or agender, your body may menstruate too."

WHAT A PILE OF UNADULTERATED AND ABSOLUTE FUCKING HORSE SHIT.

Seriously, the world has collectively lost the fucking plot.

Anyone who believes and peddles this garbage to young or vulnerable people is out of their tiny minds.
