Enthusiasm i thought that was just me until that subject came up with some friends!

Trans don’t take progesterone though do they ? You only need it to protect the uterine lining. So I assume they just take oestrogen ?
A pp mentioned that surely they simply have the same symptoms as post meno women on HRT? Post meno women on HRT still have periods, HRT is tailored through the month to keep levels of oestrogen and progesterone balanced. A drop in progesterone triggers the shedding of the uterine lining. Unless a woman has had a hysterectomy, in which case she wouldn’t need progesterone.

There was a great thread about a month ago where posters listed their symptoms

Maybe it is the lunar cycle and they are actually trans wolves ?

If the people responding were real friends to Lifeofbria instead of just being performatively woke, they'd be saying go to a doctor.

Enthusiasm - just shows how much ignorance there is around periods. It wasn't until I got to university and found some new candid female friends that I realised nearly every woman has constipation leading up to the event, and diarrhea for the first few days.

Not quite as cute as 'ooooh cramping and buying all the chocolate!'

I'm now more than EIGHT years past menopause - and I had hideous, prolonged, very heavy and painful periods for almost 40 years before menopause.

My menopause symptoms are the same now as they were a couple of months in - not very pleasant at all.

Please - do not try to compare a few weeks of discomfort with women's real, persistent, prolonged, often agonising experiences.

Bleeding is not a symptom, it's the main fucking event!!!

This breaks my heart. I just feel like everything a woman was born to do is being taken away,

But to be fair, if they want periods they can have them, I'd send mine off with ribbons, bows, bells and the whole shabang! But the sad fact is even with this new trans-munchausen-menstruation, we still have to have them.

If you read the words of this article you can see that this person gets their power kicks from annoying women, so we just say yes you have them or men claiming to have them too would just remove the power and would be far more effective than trying to fight it. If they want them, let them have their fun. Just smile and nod, you can't reason with crazy.

You wanna know why I'm writing this tweet thread? Bc I've been laid up in bed all day with awful cramps

What exactly is cramping and what is causing it to cramp?

Maybe you should go and try and have a poo? That can also cause abdominal cramps.

I didn't know I could identify my way out of the horror (actually mine aren't that bad) of having periods, plus that would be a much nicer way of preventing pregnancy "not today sperm, I identify as a gay man"

I'm looking for a buyer to take me fibroids off my hands. One careless owner, well run in vag and womb, with one remaining ovary and a nice ambience. Perfect starter pack. All this can be yours for One million quid and a promise you'll shut the fuck up for ever. Any takers?

If a biological man is experiencing actual bleeding from their genitals then they need medical help.

Anyway, I find my period gives me the shits. Is that what they mean?

Haha, what’s this, trans stigmata? And we get criticised for calling it a cult.

Really, honestly, I’d say the most likely reason for your cramps is being full of shit. Maybe eat some prunes and sit on the toilet for a while.
If you’d ever had anything approaching a real period you wouldn’t want another one.
I get the shits when I’m on as well, as well as crippling cramps, flow so heavy I can’t go out for at least a day and a half, exhaustion and irritability. Diarrhoea was so bad in my early teens that I actually shat myself at school. I was mortified, it was a horrible experience.

Bleeding is not a symptom, it's the main fucking event!!!

Potato! Love it! True.

If a biological man is experiencing actual bleeding from their genitals then they need medical help.

Or mental health professionals.

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

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.

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.

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"?

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

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

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.

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.
