Siiiigh

I'm curious why this person wanted to be a mommy and not a daddy. Both equal parents?

Anyway they're welcome to periods and child birth. Maybe we can send them a link to some of the threads on what happens to women after birth.

A spoonful of sugar and a heap of double incontinence. It's just so lovely

Bullshit

Do they also fancy ovarian cancer?

They can have my endometriosis with pleasure.

Sigh. More mememe

They're more than welcome to my periods. I'm on prescription pain killers for them and still have several episodes a year when I'm in so much pain that I literally can't do anything bar lying on the floor in the fetal position and crying like a baby.

They're also more than welcome to modern gynaecology that - despite this having been an issue for two decades and me undergoing a gazillion scans - doesn't seem to be able to figure out what's wrong or fix it beyond "if your mum was the same it may be genetic".

They can have my endometriosis with pleasure.

this this this

Tough, you only get periods a womb and ovaries if you were given them by nature as part of the preprogrammed pattern .

They can have my periods, they have gone batshit crazy after my last baby (+ 4th degree vaginal tear). I’ve completely ruined a brand new mattress and endless clothes.

They can have my endometriosis and in return I would like some sympathy for also being infertile.
Boom.
All the pain, none of the gain
My eyes are rolling SO hard right now

Good grief. It just shows you what utter bollocks (pun intended) the whole transgender thing is.

They can have my ovarian cancer diagnosis, the subsequent painful surgery to remove all my reproductive organs and the shitty weight gain from the HRT I have to take to prevent early onset osteoporosis

They’re more than welcome to my very heavy periods, accompanied by the kind of doubling up pain like being stabbed in the belly that woke me up the other night. This month I also had crippling backache as well, which I know they’d enjoy. Oh, and as a bonus, I can’t take anything stronger than paracetamol because NSAIDs clash dangerously with other meds I’m on and morphine based pain killers make me horribly sick.

I don’t crave chocolate but I am completely drained for a week, and my usual three day accompanying headache makes my period super fun.

Maybe we should auction our periods off to the highest brave and stunning bidder. No returns obviously, but I’m sure once they realise what a fabulous investment one week in four of pain and sticky mess is, they’ll appreciate the opportunity of experiencing proper cis privilege.

They can have mine too.
They can have the days it feels like a small homunculus is scraping the insides of my uterus out with its long sharp fingernails.
They can have the days I can't go out because I need to change my tampon and pad hourly or I leak.
They can have all the hormonal fluctuations and crap that comes with it.
Or they can just suck it up and stop whining because life often doesn't give us what we want.

When I read articles like the the only words I can even be bothered to muster are:

Bore. Off.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis from age 12. Been on opiates daily for 15 years. Life ruined by hormone treatments including those now being pushed on to children. Can’t even look after my own children on bad days like today.

Fuck off to the far side of fuck.

Love this section. I wonder what their ex-wife and little children would say now, three years on.

Watching my wife go through her second pregnancy was actually a huge trigger for my gender dysphoria. I am lucky to have my own wonderful kids — the best result from my now-ending marriage

They're also more than welcome to modern gynaecology

Truth!

The inequality in healthcare which puts women's health at the bottom of the healthcare and research agendas across the board is appalling.

Are their any articles where a trans man laments never being able to experience the pain of being bashed in the balls I wonder?

Or is it just always trans "women" and their weird fetishising of women's bodies?

It is so awful when having two children of your own makes rubs your nose in the realisation that you are seriously underprivileged because you can't have children. No. Wait. Hang on a minute...

I’d gladly give them my peri menopausal flooding and horrrendous cramps. Not to mention the period shits which herald its evil approach.

Idiots.

The thing is, you can't even imagine a transman saying "I wish I had a prostate" can you?
