Absolutely nowhere on the pages-long consent form I had to sign to transition that included everything from the expected and supurfluous "hey, you're gonna' get tits," to the horrifying "oh, by the way, you're gonna' get a pituitary tumor at some point" was there any loving mention of the fact that trans women get periods. Periods are fuckin' bullshit. Fully one fourth of my life sucks. That's a marked improvement from all of it sucking before, but god drat. And cis men are so skeeved out by this poo poo that when I tell them I get them, their first loving words are almost always "GROSS!" And like, dude. You know I can't bleed, right?

Ralph Crammed In posted:You getting more angry or sad? Flip a coin, depending on the month. What I never understood before is how the anger isn't actually a mood swing. It's just being fed the gently caress up with all the bullshit I put up with the rest of the month. Like, gently caress you, my body is trying to spit out parts of itself — in my case parts it doesn't even have — and I don't have it in me to put up with much else. But the mental health drain is so much worse.

I had cramps so bad at work the other night, but had to smile through it to serve people and like, I was never terrible about periods. Never got grossed out, was always happy to pick up tampons and comfort snacks, so I don't know why this feels like comeuppance. It feels like I did something bad and deserve it. It's the damndest thing. Incidentally, why are so many cis men too embarrassed to do that? Any of y'all date men who could explain it? Most of the time I did I was met with a quiet "you're an awesome boyfriend" from the checkers.

I've been taking fish oil to help with periods and I can't tell if it's working or if it's the placebo effect.

I'm having one of those fun days where my body decided all that water it's retaining isn't actually necessary, so I lost count of the number of times I've peed today somewhere in the late teens and that was four hours ago.

SulfurMonoxideCute posted:I didn't tell anyone for over a year thanks to gender dysphoria and not having a close or trusting relationship with anyone in my lovely family. They think it didn't happen until I was 14, but I was actually 12. It wasn't easy trying to have a period in totally secrecy in a tiny duplex, but I managed.  You poor fucker.

I'm honestly really thankful I didn't have my mother to deal with when I had my first period.
