transfem t4t happens for any number of reasons not the least of which is that it's beautiful and wonderful and connecting, but the reality is that it also happens because quite frankly almost every transfem i know has had a horrific experience of a relationship with a tme transgender person who was viciously abusive and transmisogynist to them and happily and readily wielded transmisogyny as a weapon.

I've already gotten so many responses to this post from transfems sharing their own experiences with this kind of violence. it breaks my heart. i wish this world could deserve us. i wish that none of us had to be hurt like this ever again. it breaks my heart and it fills me with anger. you all deserved so much better than you got. you deserved to be treated with love and dignity. by god, we must repair this world.

tmes will see a newly out trans girl and say "is anyone else gonna make her their only source of support in the world until shes totally miserable" and not wait for an answer

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.

Genuine question: is it possible for trans women to get endometriosis without a uterus? Because the whole Thing about endo is your body putting menses in Not The Uterus and that's SUPER bad for you and your insides.

Tbh this is probably one of those things that's just gone utterly unstudied because lol who even studies endo in people who *do* have uteri.

I ask because if it's possible, 1) I am so sorry and 2) this is a reason a trans woman might need hormonal birth control in addition to HRT. Because birth control prevents the formation of menses and is a literal lifesaver in terms of keeping your body from fucking itself up. My own endo is probably what screwed up my kidneys and bladder, for instance.

Even if it's not possible, periods suck and I'm sorry you ladies go through it too. Only things I can personally suggest are painkillers, heating pads, chocolate, and reminding yourself that your hormones and brain are just being jerks.

I would honesly be shocked if trans women were somehow immune to endometriosis. Especially since it's not even just on other parts of the uterus that endomitrisis causes the tissue to grow, but also on the bladder, the bowls, and the pelvic wall.

I don't know of any cases, but I feel very confident that they're out there but go undiagnosed because doctor's refuse to treat us as if we have anything but "male bodies."
