What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

AIBU that this is the most ridiculous thing for a company to claim.

"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."

Could the marketeer behind this be a terf queen, diverting $ from the pockets of delusional TiMs into R&D for products for actual women?

@Littlejellyuk Gender ideologists claim that being misgendered is a form of violence that is just as violent to the person as actual violence is. (Don’t ask us why, we don’t make the gender rules 🤷‍♀️)

Given that they link to the period pants twice, it's a basic marketing exercise targeting a very niche market using highly specific keywords

GROSS.

Many trans women have periods. Some trans women don’t have uteruses, so they won’t bleed as part of a monthly menstrual cycle. But the hormonal experience of menstruation can still be very real
so the company are accepting that trans women without uteruses (ie all of them) might experience hormonal swings but no bleeding, and then they still want to try to sell their bleeding-related products to trans women?
Not sure if that's the ultimate in cynicism or pure genius.

Yep, this is where we are as a country 😱

Yeah. Formerly Foreign Secretary. Thank God he was our emissary for peace in the Middle East, eh?

Thank you for that. I have always been a bit ignorant of this. This helps and makes a bit more sense now

Argh I feel the same but theirs are way better than any other we have tried !! Do I need to try wuka ? Please recommend as this is not making me want to be a loyal customer .. idiots !

I totally agree, should be compulsory for any of these men wanting to be a woman.
I bet 99% of them would change their minds pdq.
Full on dysmenorrhea with nausea and diarrhoea would be non negotiable, every month for at least 7 days.

"Why isn’t the medical community looking into this phenomenon?"

Spoke too soon. They are already appropriating the disparity in how females symptoms are ignored

Could always ram a tampon up their penis I guess?

Oh. Have now caught up the thread. That explains a lot.

Re: period underwear. M&S period pants have improved. (I'm ancient, but I had problems with my HRT and uterine polyps plus hyperplasia until it was sorted out last year.)

Ha, real, hard facts are deemed as negotiable now and is why the human race is bollocked.

It does make me wonder though, when they're eventually going to try transplant a uterus into a man.

That man should be in jail

Twinging balls probably

Tampax will be using that as a marketing ploy next

I recommend Wuku. DD says they’re better.

You're probably right- the fetishists will be queuing up.

🤣🤣🤣

It is not well understood that they don't exist.

Couldn’t agree more

Do trans women have periods?

Many trans women have periods. Some trans women don’t have uteruses, so they won’t bleed as part of a monthly menstrual cycle. But the hormonal experience of menstruation can still be very real.

So they have periods but don't menstruate and they are flogging pants to soak up blood - please somebody make it make sense.

I mean they don’t. How can they say absolutely to that question? It’s ridiculous.

The BBC report thread notes they covered this. Report from NHS Sussex University hospital trust (covers Brighton?) that TW breast milk was every bit as healthy as female breast milk.
