btw im a trans woman and i seem to get monthly periods as well. zero studies on the effect but me and a cousin of mine always complain about the same things at roughly the same time. we get like... really bad bloating once a month and cramps in the stomach. obviously i dont have a vag so no bleeding
The depth of knowledge that trans people have amassed about the effects of different types of hrt on different bodies is incredible. And the fact that science hasn’t seemed to keep up is both unsurprising and sad
weird factoid but i discovered that eating a ton of raspberries significantly reduces the period bloating for me. shared that with all the women in my family and they sing my praises to this day
this is entirely unrelated but does libido drop during "period" times? I assumed that was the origin/"practical reason" behind why having sex with someone in that period is a "sin" but I may be wrong
Maybe that's giving too much of the benefit of the doubt to old white men
The science is still out on a lot of it. I’m sticking with info about cis men since hrt is an entire other complication and also these studies tend to just assume trans people don’t exist. There’s a 24 hour cycle that’s mostly about fluctuations in testosterone. But there are also preliminary studies about monthly cycles and seasonal cycles.
Personally I vary between experiencing no sexual attraction to experiencing a decent amount of it, which also varies with my libido. And it tends to come in ~2 week phases, which makes me think it’s a hormonal thing
I barely want to fuck more than once a week. Not my tempo
isn't libidos varying like a normal thing among people, like eye color and height
Yeah it varies with a ton of stuff, but especially with hormonal cycles (which amab people have too even though we don’t talk about them as much)
WAHAT
yeah.

I'm just going to assume it's based in a generalization and move on, then.

That's on you. I'm not the weird one for wanting more :soviet-huff:
This is true. My partner could definitely go for more, tbh
