Trans women and periods

[MhairiV]

I'm just going to throw it out there - few things make me more angry than reading about trans women and their 'periods'. Now I know I've had them my whole adolescent/adult life and I know plenty about how they work (and how they impact your life when they're not straightforward, god I know about that) but where does this trans period bollocks come from?

Without a uterus or ovaries or eggs or uterine lining or any of that stuff, where does any sort of cycle come from? Do they take oestrogen on an artificial cycle with progesterone or something? Or am I basically affording way too much time and thinking to something which makes zero sense in the first place and should just ignore it altogether? 🤨

Even if there is some element of truth in "sore breasts and dreadful moodswings" I'm still going to be angry anyway, I guess. That's not a period. That's sore boobs and a moodswing.

Help me o wise ones.

Not to mention women and girls who suffer endometriosis. It’s hell on Earth. 11 year average wait on the NHS for a referral.

What? How long is the waitlist for for (don’t get me started)...

I do see your point there. I have been seeing over the last year or two more people overall talking about the excesses of the trans movement and reacting with horror or amusement. I think it has gone on this long because mostly only feminists, women's groups, and the Left has seen most of it, but as it comes more and more out of the closet, so to speak, a backlash is building. No one knew about most of this stuff happening five years ago except radical feminists.

Endometriosis average wait is 11 years. NHS issued guidance last year telling doctors to listen to women about it. They need to tell them that?
