Everybody bleeds, are we going to start referring to a skinned knee as period. Language is losing all meaning, I mean half gymnasium potted kaftan, am I right?

Having gas from lactose intolerance now means you're preggers.

Everybody bleeds

Just like in that movie, where Batman said to Superman: "Tell me, do you bleed?".

Just because "TWAW", and "TMAM", women need to be put in some new category of "people who bleed", while it is even broader category of people. It just makes no sense.

In this post I've already put three periods in the end of sentences - so I have periods too, by their [lack of] logic.

I really don't understand why periods have to include men now. When a female transitions to male they stop getting their period so shouldn't excluding them be affirming?

I think it's because of TiFs that decide against hormone therapy and the nonbinary crowd.

Unless seeking attention is one of the factors that influenced thier transition. The latest "I'm not like the other ..." People are desperate for attention and validation.

I think some clearly don't. Also this would include all those binding 13 year olds who aren't yet allowed testosterone.

[–]MezozoicGay 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

But their current "definition" excludes women in age, pregnant women, young girls, and so on.

Because some men have a fetish, that's why, and they demand that women kowtow to their fetishes at all times.

A lot of it is also to be inclusive to the other genders, like nonbinary.

From what I've seen, trans men (like with diagnosed gender dysphoria and having medically tansitioned) both (1) don't get their period as it goes away after just a few months on T (2) Do not like being reminded of female biological functions and thus do not want to be included in this way.

It's all the non binary genderqueer snowflakes who are pushing this weird language on us

Mostly I see it being pushed by transwomen, to distance women from them, to make "women can be different, and natal women are just subcategory of all women.".

All over Twitter, FB, reddit, Insta and the rest of social media, people with conditions that cause excessive bleeding - known in medicine as "bleeding disorders" - are screaming bloody murder over the use of "people who bleed" to refer to mere menstruators.

Just kidding, of course. Because no other group is as nutty and authoritarian as these attention-seeking misogynistic numpties who are intent on turning "girls" and "women" into dirty, unmentionable words unless the prefix "trans" is tacked on.

Is menstruate a dirty word now?

It's "Cissexist" /s

Don't you dare mention your freaking ovary either halfling! /s

[–]Agodachi 11 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

there are WAY more women (and girls) who don't mensturate than these TIFs and you never see them crying when "women" is used. So narcissistic.

Yup. Also, women who live full lifespans - which in the USA today is 81+ - will be capable of ovulating and menstruating at most for only half their lives. (Given that 11 is the average age of menarche, and 51 is the average age of menopause.)

Add in all the women who use cycle-diminishing or -stopping forms of BC, have lots of pregnancies, breastfeed, get surgeries that involve removal of their uterus and/or their ovaries, or have health conditions that cause menstruation to stop, and you'll find that a whole lot of women actually will spend many more years of their lives not menstruating than doing so.

But as you point out, none of us women who don't menstruate for all these various reasons have ever complained once throughout the course of history that it hurts our feelings to say that ovulation and menstruation are things girls and women customarily do - and which only females can do. Can you imagine if we did? It would be hilariously absurd.

Maybe we should start. Make a mockery of it all. Damn breeders. /s

Off to downvote and report this misogynist shit.

Literally everyone bleeds.

It is part of the erasure of the female body. Now that body is gender-neutral, so there can't be any such thing as sex-based oppression because there is no female biological sex.

And of course everyone who menstruates belongs to the sex which produces large gametes, though it is possible to belong to that sex and not to menstruate, too. Besides menstruation stops for everyone at some point.

How does one complain?
