The Pain Transmen are ashamed to talk About

[Lamaha]

Yes, indeed: menstrual cramps. The article is by a "person with ovaries".

The author seems to think taking testosterone makes your shoulders broaden. I stopped reading after that.
I wonder if estrogen makes your feet shrink.

"Ashamed"? How bizarre.

Files under 'transmen are triggered, because of their gender dysphoria, if women talk about anatomy related only to being female, but are quite happy to get pregnant and give birth, which doesn't seem to trigger their dysphoria at all.'

I really shouldn’t read these things, they lead me to understand the meaning of ‘making my teeth itch’

As a person with a uterus, I know the unnecessary shame and great discomfort this type of pain can cause others; the purchasing of sanitary tissues in front of store clerks, the various vulgar slurs thrown at people during ‘that time of the month’, disguising cramping as a stomach ache around friends and family, and so on.

Yes - all misogyny - which the author as a WOMAN seems just to be accepting as a fact of life rather than challenging. Gender ideology and misogyny (overt and internalised) do seem to go hand in hand.

Plus - it’s not ‘phantom’ pain if the ovaries are still there. That’s appropriating language from amputees.
