some trans women do experience our own version of a menstrual cycle. everybody has a hormonal cycle that effects things like libido, mood, appetite etc and hrt does alter this cycle quite a bit. it depends heavily on how you take your hrt as well as your body as to how long your hormonal cycle is and how it affects you. some trans women do experience cramping, hot flashes, or mood swings throughout their hormonal cycle.

of course you won’t menstruate as in shed the lining of your uterus if you don’t have one but that’s not what the comment is talking about. spreading hate and misinformation instead of talking to other women about their bodies and experiences to better understand other people and show empathy, is just misogyny and in this case transphobia as well. do better, be kinder and more curious

this is false and unscientific for 99.999 repeating trans women lol. if you take synthetic hormones you do not have a menstrual cycle and most trans women hormonally are most similar to post menopausal cis women

it’s incredibly hilarious how some of you (key word) say this but refuse to acknowledge that dysphoria is a real thing and think that anyone can be a woman with no definition to the word

Trans women may not bleed but many absolutely do experience cramping, mood fluctuations, the list goes on. Just say “I’m transphobic” with your full chest like the ass you are.

Keep playing pretend and denying the actual, lived experiences of Trans and Intersex people just because you refuse to educate yourself. This transphobic bullshit is what’s causing issues for people, EVERYONE, not whatever you and OP are pushing for. Thanks for showing you’re a danger to the Trans community so I can block your dumbasses.

trans women are women because we are women not because woman is a meaningless word. hormones being synthetic does not affect their effect on your body. you’re parroting a lot of trans med and terf talking points and i think it says a lot about how you view trans women as having less of a claim to womanhood than you do, and your refusal to examine how you think about sex and gender in a very patriarchal way

periods are caused from both uterus presence AND hormones. just because we have some symptoms is not th same as being one with a period. It doesn’t make you less of a woman. And yes i’m parroting transmed talking points because i have common sense and am transmedicalist. 👍

if talking about women’s health means it gets taken less seriously that’s a problem with misogyny and should not result in ingroup policing and bigotry in pursuit of respectability politics

absolutely nobody is saying that all women have the same experience of their hormonal cycle but pretending that trans women are not effected by their hormonal cycle is just ridiculous. this motte and bailey bullshit is always a telltale sign of reactionary poltical views, perfectly exemplified by being an out and proud trans medalist

sadly the trans medicalist community still exists though not in the same force as it used to. just leave the gender and bio essentialism at the door or close it behind you when you go fuck off

trans medicalism is reactionary respectability politics as is perfectly exemplified by its basis in your gut reaction and not in any form of critical thinking or feminism analysis

But I can also see how trans women feel and I don’t want to downplay their experiences. (Also, I hope I’m using politically correct terminology and please correct me if anything I’m saying sounds offensive for the trans community)

I think it’s important to validate everyone’s experience. You can hold space for trans women’s experiences while holding space for yourself and what womanhood looks like for you.

“it’s just common sense” you can claim whatever you want but it’s not true that your claims are based in anything but how you feel based on your own internalized patriarchal view of sex and gender

girl i read real books and spend a lot less time online than you think i would im only on here because i have nothing to do tonight also judith butler is not the academic consensus. gender dysphoria is a scientifically proven disorder its not just something that people choose to have. if you take away the meaning of womanhood, you have a club anyone can enter which is an extremely dangerous precedent to set. you cannot take away the meaning of manhood either. the only valid meaning of womanhood

that includes all trans women while excluding all men including trans men is that womanhood is a condition of the mind being female sexed.

Anonymous #2 20w

it is not because being a woman is a socially constructed category to undertand gender entirely through the lens of sex falls apart at the first mention of gender non conformity or the fluidity of identity and expression not to mention its complete refusal to interact with the social reality of gender and assumes gendered roles, and dynamics to be a matter of biology which is a foundational principle of patriarchal power structures

Anonymous #2 20w

by saying that womanhood is either meaningless or a fixed singularly definable thing is silly, narrow minded and decades out of day. the consensus among the scientific community has long been out of date and out of touch not to mention it is not the role of doctors to define womanhood. it is the role of doctors to provide adequate healthcare within the framework they are provided which itself is ill equipped to deal with the reality of bodily autonomy.

gender dysphoria exists as a diagnosis because it must exist as a diagnosis for our medical system to acknowledge the desired and needs of transsexual and transgender patients even if it cannot fully cover the reality of transsexual and transgender patients internal experience or the sociological reality of gender and gender roles.

Anonymous #2 20w

gender dysphoria being a studied and proven experience does by no means necessitate the idea that transness is purely a matter of being a mental disorder (a category which in medicine is itself ill equipped to deal with providing adequate care to people who suffer from mental illnesses). nor does it support the idea that all trans people must transition and pursue traditional patriarchal and cis centric gender expressions which is a core belief of trans medicalism.

misogynists and transphobes have been repackaging regressive patriarchal views of gender as “common sense” and “simply facts” and “scientific” since before either of us were born and just because you do it and call it trans medicalism instead of trans exclusionary radical feminism or conversion therapy or traditional values doesn’t make you special it makes you stupid
