    You like being trans because it has shaped who you are as a person

    I like being trans because I would hate having a period

    We are not the same

    Yes I know some trans women have periods but I will simply not swole-doge

      Even trans periods come without bleeding at least so that's handy lmao. Good perspective kel-bliss

        My wife and I both have PMS like symptoms monthly. From cramps to bad mood swings including most of the symptoms associated with it.

          Ah, that's what they meant. I thought they were talking about the blood part (thank god I'm trans and don't bleed down there)

        So I haven't experienced it personally, but some trans women (and it also sounds as varied as cis women's periods) get very crampy/mood swings/all the other symptoms of a period (minus bleeding, obviously) roughly once a month. Maybe someome who does get them can explain more but it sounds very similar to how I've heard cis women describe it.

        I don't quite know how it works, but I think someone on here has described it before.
