Happy The Missile Knows Where It Is Monday

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.

[kayla-denker]

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.

[kayla-denker]

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.

As a trans women, femboys feel like an grotesque parody of me.

Every aspect of the identity is appropriated from trans women but put in an easily digestible cisgender package.

The term started as a gooner term to degender trans women in hentai.

Transfem characters like Bridget are still referred to as femboys in porn circles, just real like trans women are called femboys or ladyboys in those circles.

Sissification hentai includes the growth of breasts while reimaging transition as a punishment for pathetic men abd still managing to reduce them to just men in women's lingerie.

A femboy on facebook, after being told Bridget is a trans woman, told me that trans is a slur made to insult femboys.

As a cultural artifact, a femboy is a trans woman robbed of anything that a cisgender audience would struggle to fetishize.

When I hear the word femboy, I hear a slur. When I think of femboys, I think of at best a tragically unrealized trans woman and at worse a malicious parody of my identity.

I will be called closed minded and something-phobic for having this opinion.

Mass report the fucking bastard. All he does is misgender and harass trans women (talking about the femboy blog of course)

Very shortly after coming out I went to this general queer event that had a pronoun circle. I was sitting next to a transmasc NB who was also at the event for the first time and we talked for a bit. After a while, the organiser of the local sapphic group (who had been present and paying attention during the pronoun circle) came over to us, remembered our names, and made a point of inviting the NB specifically to join the sapphic group, then walked off.

I felt awful, but I thought the problem must be with me, that I didn't pass well enough, that my voice was too masculine, that my makeup was bad, etc etc. Then, at the end of the event, the sapphic group organiser made an announcement, saying, "there's a whole group of women out there who I know are nervous about coming to our group, who are afraid we won't accept them, who are worried we'll exclude them, who have had bad experiences with sapphic groups in the past," I felt my spirits lift, I guessed the whole thing had been a mistake, I had misjudged her.

Then the payoff: "Yes, I'm taking about bisexual women in relationships with men, if that's you, please come to our meetings! We need more of you!" Several years later, I've still never been to a meeting of the sapphic group.

Queer unity has been trying as hard as possible to downplay any possible transfem issue. Pay gap adding up to thousands a year? Not a big deal. V coding? Never mention it. Trans women are much more likely to be sent to an early grave than their male counterparts? Stop bringing that up. Trans people collaborating with kiwifarms? Just internet drama.

You know what IS an important issue? Getting called a fucking birthday boy. They get all hands on deck about it. They will write VERY long posts about how important it is you not use it, and that anyone who does must be punished as severely as possible

There's only one explanation. The lives of trans women are so worthless to them, so fucking disposable, that a trans man getting invalidated is actually more important to them. That's how these people, who demand we view them as family and allies, who think we should be ready to die for them, view us.

I know people who treat house flies with more respect than that.

[carriebeepo]

forever reminded of this fucking yt reply i got in a thread abt transmisogyny, this kinda attitude is so common. even when you do bring up shit that disproportionately or exclusively affects transfems the response is "what abt me" or downplaying it

[claire-the-apocalypse]

"Damn, v-coding sounds terrible... I hope they don't do that to trans men, too!" Because obviously it's *bad* when it happens to trans women, but oh dear god, THINK OF THE TRANS MEN that this might hypothetically happen to in a different situation!! I'm going to fucking cry. Trans women are so unvalued, these people look at the reality that trans women have to wake up to every single day, and they respond with "yeah, it's terrible when the sex slave gets raped. That must really hurt! But god, imagine if a HUMAN was raped instead? HORROR!"

[davaulthunter]

idk i just feel like reducing trans fems calling out how they are disproportionately marginalized (even within our own communities!) down to a "cia psy op" is really gross actually

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
