Hey, you, cis girl that's very (correctly) vocal about women being allowed to talk about their periods, do you include trans women in that?

I ask because every single time I've tried to talk about it to anyone that isn't a trans woman they get fucking angry. Which has caused me to have to just suffer in silence every single month. So I really relate to cis women when they talk about literally the exact same thing; being shamed by everyone around them their whole lives for talking about their periods, so they just suffer in silence every month as it negatively impacts their work and social lives. But I don't even feel like I can voice that I am literally dealing with the same exact thing because most of y'all react like you want to throw me in front of a bus for saying it, even those of you who act like your such big great transfem allies.

I guess I'll take this opportunity to talk about trans women periods. The first thing any tme person thinks when they hear this is always "how can trans women have periods? They don't have uteruses!"

The answer is: the uterus isn't what causes your period, it is effected by your period. What causes your period and what causes trans women's periods is the same thing: the endocrine system.

HRT changes the sex of your endocrine system. Feminizing HRT makes it a female endocrine system, giving us a 28-day hormone cycle just like cis women. At the end of that cycle, the hypothalamus floods the body with prostaglandins. Those are what cause all but one of the period symptoms, because they make muscles inflame and contract. They are what make the uterus shed its lining, they are what cause intestinal cramps, they are what cause body aches, they are what cause headaches and migraines. The only period symptom not causes by the release of prostaglandins throughout the body is depression, and that is caused by your endocrine system simply not processing as much estrogen and from simply feeling like shit.

So, the only symptoms trans women don't get every 28 days is menstrual cramps, because yes we do not menstruate since we don't have uteruses. But migraines, depression, body aches, intestinal cramps, and the infamous "period shits" don't exactly add up to us having any better of a time. Except we have to pretend that we're fine and nothing is different because no one believes that we get periods, not even cis women.

"But you can't call it a period then because that refers to MENSTRUATION!" is another one I hear all the time. This is incorrect. You use the word "period" instead of just "menstruation" because it doesn't just refer to menstruation. It refers to a period at the end of the hormone cycle where we experience a host of symptoms. And not all cis women experience all of the symptoms that encompass the period. Not all cis women get migraines, or body aches, or have severe depression. If a cis woman gets a hysterectomy she doesn't menstruate either! In that instance she experiences an identical period to what trans women experience. Yet, I doubt you'd insist that cis women who've had hysterectomies don't have periods.

Oh, another thing that I personally discovered after bottom surgery: vaginal odor changes for trans women during our periods too. I was not expecting that because I always thought it was just from menstruation. But nope, the ph levels of a trans woman's vagina are the same of as a cis woman's vagina, and it changes during our periods just the same.

#damn that sucks #i was hoping trans girls' experiences with hormones were like the birth control pills that don't have period days #of course bodies are evil and don't let us rest #the more you know #trans #medicine

Why does nobody tell women what an absolute bitch perimenopause can be? I feel like nobody told me anything about it, save for hot flashes. I also feel that doctors don't know enough about it as well. I basically had to diagnose myself.

Like, seriously, women should be educated about their own bodies.

So if you're on the other side of 45 and suddenly everything is twice as difficult, you get more migraines, your blood pressure goes funny, you can't sleep and you feel like your entire psyche is unstable, you might be experiencing perimenopause. My gyn was like,oh, like think of it like reverse puberty, your entire body rearranges itself. I was like, Great, nobody ever told me it can be this bad. My GP didn't even ask me about my period or hormone levels or anything. He just told me I was probably depressed and sent me to a psychiatrist, who also didn't ask about my period or my hormones. If I hadn't experienced something akin to postpartum depression and therefore know what my body does when its hormones are out of whack, I would have had no idea.

Seriously, nobody tells you how much hormones fuck you up as a woman. Nobody prepares you for this.

I've been trying to talk openly about what's fucking me up right now, and I've discovered that it's a lot more common than I thought it was. I feel like every phase of life finds another way to fuck women over. Puberty: have fun with your period as it adjusts itself. Childbirth: prepare for a hormonal rollercoaster. PMS: oh, it can get BAD. Like, BAD. After birth: hormones out of whack for months, maybe longer. Perimenopause: can fuck up everything. Like literally everything. Osteoporosis is also hormonal. Post menopause: supposedly things get better, but they don't have to.

And I feel like we're left pretty alone dealing with all of it. And we know so little about it that we're left wondering why suddenly nothing works anymore. So we flail about and feel terrible about our sudden inability to cope with life, when it's in fact our bodies screwing with us. Again.

So. Let's talk about it, let's be open to each other and learn from each other. Thank you especially to anyone who shared experiences with me. It helps to feel like you're not alone.

I'm coming up on this myself, and sadly one of the reasons your doctors don't know anything about this is that, along with most other women's health issues, it's had so little research. There are slow improvements, but the situation is still dire.

I want y'all to know a few things.

1. This can happen any time in your life, but perimenopause actually is common anytime after 35. It doesn't mean you're infertile. Perimenopause is the lead-up to menopause, not menopause itself (which is also a fucking nightmare). I have been undergoing perimenopause since age 37. I'm turning 42 this year and still dealing with it. My periods still show up but I never know when. Menstrual migraines are the norm.

2. If you started your periods young, you have a high potential to start perimenopause young. By young I mean any time before age 14. I started mine at 10.

3. If you got a tubal ligation or a salpingectomy (removal of most or all of the fallopian tubes without the removal of the uterus or ovaries), you stand a high chance of beginning perimenopause early as well, purely because the majority of the blood vessels to your ovaries are in the fallopian tubes. I got a tubal ligation the day after my 30th birthday. My mom's family routinely starts perimenopause before they turn 40 so honestly I'm lucky my body waited until I was 37.

4. If you have a full hysterectomy, regardless of whether it's from cancer, some other reproductive health issue, or gender confirmation reasons, you will immediately go into menopause and perimenopause at the same time. You will speedrun both of them simultaneously. It's not fun! But! It can take up to 10 years for the full cycle of perimenopause + menopause to complete, so 6 months of awful vs 10 years of slightly less awful. Make your choice. I'm getting a full hysterectomy.

5. Once you're past menopause, whether you chose to speedrun it or not, it's a good idea to get on a low-dose estrogen supplement. Why? It helps prevent osteoporosis. My gynecologist is insisting on a low dose patch once I get a hysterectomy. Once I quit smoking, I'll go on a pill (smoking while fucking with your hormones can and will increase the likely hood of blood clots/strokes. I don't need this).

6. Regardless of what alt-right grifters say, this is all normal and none of it makes you less of a woman, man, nonbinary person, or whatever.

🎲 Fancy throwing a few dice? 🎲

Short kingdom come deliverance farkle animation because I’ve been playing kcd a lot lately and I really really like playing the dice game

Made during a 5-day animation workshop at school with Alexandre Siqueira as a guest artist!! I wanted to practice animating on paper, which I’ve only done once before, so I learned a lot! Finishing it in 5 days was definitely a challenge, but I had a lot of fun, animation is so awesome and wonderful
