TiM claiming to be on his period asks for advice on finding a period tracker for "AMAB transwomen" complaining that it's difficult to find a period tracker for TiMs because TiMs don't menstruate or bleed. I think it's time for a pandemic or something to give these boys something real to worry about.

This one really floored me. Wow, there is nothing they won't colonize.

They are not trying to get or avoid pregnancy nor looking for a reminder to avoid an uncomfortable situation in which they begin menstruating without access to menstrual products. I am sure they do experience some weird medically induced hormonal fluctuations as their bodies struggle to return them to normal, but what would be the point of tracking that on a personal level? What behavior would they need to change? There is no point except to try to add verisimilitude to the pretence of being female. It is so delusional.

And I am continually offended by their caricature of of the menstrual cycle. It is clear they have no idea what a cycle is, what body parts are involved, or what is happening within the body to cause the changes we experience because if they did they would understand it sure as hell is not happening to them. They seem to think the essence of a period is mood swings and cramps (the uterine shedding is too female and can be dispensed with, obvs). They are clinging to and promoting the negative stereotype of women acting crazy and irrational due to their periods. It pisses me off because most of my life I felt like I had to minimize and be silent about what I experienced due to my cycle precisely because I wanted to avoid that stereotype.

Another reason why I got a period tracker app is because there was a period in time where I would lose track of my periods and am not sure if I had my periods the previous month. Missing a period or two could be a symptom of a health issue (aside from pregnancy).

Hey, boys. I can't use period trackers because my period is too irregular. I totally feel your pain. I mean, except for the fact that if I miss the other symptoms, I could start bleeding all over myself. The actual reason why women care to track their periods, you know? Oh... right. You don't know. Stfu.

Yeah mine are irregular as well. One came two weeks late.

Why they want to track it? To avoid bleeding all over your clothes? To avoid pregnancy? To get pregnant? Oh wait..

There was a time when I simply knew when my menstruation was coming, idk, it was just a weird feeling that my friends and other women in my life shared that they also had, always thought it was weird as hell. Now just wait till transwomen claim that they just got "a feeling" when it's coming.

Nowadays I just feel very nauseus with some smells and foods.. and crazy pelvic pain like it run a marathon or something, can't concentrate on anything like that.

They think period is just "I feel shitty". Well, I always feel shitty when on my period, but it's cause I'm in such pain, can't eat almost anything I like without feeling like throwing up and not even take hot showers or I will pass out! And my effing pads keep going up or glueing on my leg! I feel shitty for a reason which is feeling physical pain! So of course any little thing will make me angry and emotive during this time, Jesus Christ!

You want to cry under your cozy blanket and have warm hot chocolate? Just go for it, no need to be a woman to feel normal human feelings, holy shit.

It's insane to me how MENstruation has become an accepted belief. Even a major Canadian publication published an article referencing it as fact. It seems there are literally no boundaries to what TRAs can manipulate people into thinking is real. If they say it enough, it simply becomes accepted.

That ship sailed a long time ago unfortunately. Once you can get people to believe that a man IS a woman because he says so, they can be convinced of literally anything else after that point.

Well, I've seen lots of evidence that TIMs certainly suffer from PMS and PMDD: Pissy Male Syndrome and Predatory Misogynistic Dickhead Delusion.

So...they need something to track their planned "menstruation". I use a period tracker to give me an estimate of when my period is coming because if I eat the wrong foods (e.g. junk food and food which can make me gassy) and I don't drink enough water close to my periods, my body would be in a lot more pain.

I wish I can pin that reply here.

Lol there are clues, at least for me. I get very horny and can't really concentrate on anything but my cooch 24-48 hours before my period starts. I have a lot of "me time" lol that's my tracker... my libido. A properly functioning body will tell you what you need to know. 🤭

Oh, another clue is the "period bumps" popping up about a week before I bleed, usually on my chin and forehead.

I don't get it, if they were women or thought they were women they could just use a period tracker for women. Why do they need male centered products?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Deep down they know they're not women and actual products for women challenge the delusion.

Why not ask if there are woman who had a normal menstrual cycle, no longer have one, take hormone replacement therapy, and feel it creates a menstrual cycle? One would imagine total removal of all reproductive organs would better match a TIMs condition, although it obviously won't match because they are men. It's weird that I've never seen a TIM ask for a woman's opinion on this. Wait, no it's not.

A period is a shedding of the uterus. It is not a fluctuation of hormones. I think even this should be considered an appropriation of a medical condition.
