So, just minding my own f!ing business, and someone i know posted a cute fb video of someone being completely silly and over the top with makeup as a joke. It was pretty hilarious (I dont have the link to any of this and wish i did).
Autoplay starts on the next video, which to my dismay is some "cutesy" skit about when your friend is a transwoman. And the usual tropes come into play. One part of it though focused on the male "woman" being in pain because of "ghost cramps" and quote "my body thinks it has a uterus". The reaction of the actual man in the skit was "ghosts! OMG!" and to bolt.
I'm sitting here this week in serious pain because of PCOS and having, y'know, an actual period. So maybe I'm just f!ing moody. But i'm sitting there, curled up on the couch in pain and all i have to say is "Fuck No. Whatever is wrong with you is not your body thinking you have a uterus. You do not have the anatomy to experience what I am experiencing. You are either ill, and should go to the ER, or you are seriously mentally ill and faking this entire shit". My bet is on the latter.
Maybe I shouldn't be angry about it, but I"m fucking furious about it. It's brave and stunning to play pretend for sympathy now? Most of the world doesn't give two craps about women when they actually have periods, or PCOS, or endo, or anything else that makes our lives living hell sometimes. We get told to suck it up and move along. But a trans-identified man in a dress desperately needs everyone's love and sympathy for faking it? Go rot.
What the hell is going on that TRAs are trying to convince us that male bodies, have the exact same experience as women do every month? This is so logically and biologically absurd on its face that I cannot figure out what planet these people are from. (Or maybe i'm not from here. Can i leave? Can we stop the planet I'd like to get off now please).
(Apparently the funny makeup person is rifenstine on youtube and tiktok which i don't do. but it was funny imo).
