FFS

If this person doesn't have another early-stage disease then the only explanation left is that they have Munchausen's Syndrome.

You know what would put an instant stop to this type of madness? Men sharing the experience as well, it's not only transwomen that have regular monthly mood swings. I say men have them too, let's share our periods women, why should we be so selfish? Everyone wants a peice of the pie. Let's give it to them. Here's to #MEN'stration.

Gosh I think we should all band together as “women” in the world and officially state our case to say we can be called “men” from now on. Let these “trans girls” have the term “women” if they want it that bad. The only thing is all other “men” have to give their title to us. We would get whole the world in a right tiz and maybe everyone will finally see how silly this has gotten.

I get wind that feels like the fluttery feelings of early pregnancy

I am not pregnant and the wind is in my stomach

But it's the same, right? I'm transpregnant

Good post Igorina

This is what happens when being a women is a feeling.

People start feeling the most bizarre things, because it's all about the feels, not biology.

a woman

This breaks my heart. I just feel like everything a woman was born to do is being taken away, I’m all for trans rights I really am, but surely there’s a way for trans people to be equal to men and women without invalidating another genders rights? I get they want to be seen as real women, but I feel like they want to be better than real women really. Periods and breast feeding? Literally two of the things that make me feel most like a woman, and that would probably make them feel like a woman too, but aren’t possible, are being taken away from me.

I don’t even know how to explain how I feel really, I understand how badly they want it, but it just completely invalidates women’s experiences.

UglyCathKidstonBag as for my view on this thread so just going on the op and I'm sorry but I'm not reading 9 pages on this topic as the
the consept is bullshit I dislike it when we appropriate things we don't have do people taking hrt get hormonal mood swings totally is a period no. hormones do some really strange things like when we come off them pre op for 4 weeks and have the same symptoms of a mini menopause (which was fun, not,) so I can simpithise with people who that an actual menopauseand was glad it only lasted 4 weeks. it would be interesting to get proper data on this and there are older trans people who do try to explain to young trans girls what it is like and how things change when you get older, and sometimes they even. listen to us lol

what can I say some trans people are ideots

They can't 'take them away'.

It's literally physically impossible without a uterus or mammary glands.

It's a desperate bid for attention. That's all it is.

Hook them up to that machine that simulates labour see how fast they fold

My toddler kicked me in the testicules this morning. It smart a bit, but nowhere near as much as blokes would have us think when they get a wallop to the gonads; no need for all the floor rolling that they usually engage in.

I do think it's worth remembering this is a dopey mind-fart by one trans woman.

Not an offering by the TransHiveMind. Trans women are as different from each other as the rest of the human race are.

MrsBertBibby totally we are just like. other sectors we have really dumb people to and that ok. its not. all running the Internet you know lol

You know nothing about menopause, Bespin. MenoPAUSE is a pause, a stop, in menses. As you’ve never had menses you can’t have a menopause. Menopause isn’t feeling a bit weird for a day or two due to side effects of drugs, it’s often years of distressing, unphotogenic, and very personal symptoms which have a sometimes deep and distressing impact on their lives. Please stop appropriating women’s experience.

Also, yes it’s one transwoman being quoted but there are plenty of other examples of this particular appropriative bit of batshittery online. And Bria is getting 1-2 thousand retweets and 4-6 thousand likes for each tweet about it, as it currently stands. So it’s not just them.

I am actually quite astonished at how many deluded people there are around. I know many in real life. Not trans but people who think one thing, the reality being very different and there is confusion and surprise when faced with the truth.

These people usually live in a bubble. I say just enjoy the performance and let them get on with their hallucinations.

Potplant2

Totally agree with that it's what I said in my post had had a 4 week period where I exhibited some of the same symptoms and I know nothing about an actual menopause.

What potplant2 said. What you experienced bespin was withdrawal.

Oh come on, a few thousand likes and retweets by right on points-seekers who probably didn't even read it, let alone think about it? It's hardly significant numbers.

The gap between the real world of transsexuals, who would never believe this tosh, and the cuckoo land of some under this transgender umbrella is increasingly scary.
This.
The increading focus on feels and denying any sort of biological fact is worrying for women and for people who do have sex and gender dysphoria who may seek medical support to address that dysphoria. It worries me that when we get to the point where biology doesn't matter, people qho genuinely feel repulsed with their biogical sex features will struggle to get the support they are calling out for because someone will tell them 'don't worry you are a man with a uterus / don't worry you just have a lady penis'. For those transpeople that must be quite distressing.

Thr TRA agenda is worrying for most people other than TRAs.

hormones do some really strange things like when we come off them pre op for 4 weeks and have the same symptoms of a mini menopause (which was fun, not,) so I can simpithise with people who that an actual menopauseand was glad it only lasted 4 weeks.

I know you are only doing this for the reaction but fuck me sideways this is so fucking ignorant and [words removed by MNHQ].

Her Female Ness yes exactly what I said too funnily.

To be fair, Bespin did not say they HAD a menopause, just some similar symptoms. And Bespin also acknowledges that this was a short time compared to the actual menopause which women have. (I think, although some of your words got a bit jumbled Bespin, so do say if I’m misquoting you).

TellsEveryoneRealFacts to be honest no I'm. not. doing for a reaction I have clearly stated this whole. consept is bullshit and we should not appropriate symptoms that occur for other reasons to be the same as something. but we still do have those symptoms, and in no. way do I think they equate.
