Fair enough, but he doesn't have ovaries either.

Yes, but there's a lot of confusion about biology about these days & women's bodies specifically. So for clarity's sake, I pedantically throw my two cents in. Censorshipment was talking about the hormonal changes that occur girls & women over the course of the menstrual cycle. I was just pointing out that even without a uterus, women can still experience these changes.

Just like many people nowadays use the word vagina to refer to the vulva, lots of people assume hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus and the ovaries. When, in fact, lots of women who have hystos keep one or both ovaries.
