Creepy. Whatever is happening in the neovagina is not what is happening during menses. I guess I’ve never asked men what men think of women’s periods. I’m curious now given this TiM describes menstruation as a mystical and special thing (but with obstacles). Normally, I think women consider menstruation as a burden or an irritation? Personally I see menstruation as another part of who I am. Not that it’s a burden or an annoyance, but a fact of my life.

Who knows what method the surgeons used, but if it is true they use a piece of colon to create that orifice, it might be mucus.

It might also be some type of discharge. I shudder when I think about it.

Who knows what men think about periods other than it being an unpleasant experience.

I hated it. I'm about a billion times happier now that I don't have that "time of the month," which for me was a monthly nightmare for almost 40 years.

That's one of the reasons I get so pissed off when TiMs appropriate my biology - they will never know what it's like to walk out of a business meeting with the back of their dress covered in blood.

Not all women get periods, but only women get periods. I'm going to continue to boycott the BLOODY Shop and make sure they continue to know why.
