Period cramps don't come from the uterus. They come from the muscles AROUND the uterus which everyone has. Therefore, trans women can and do get cramps.

I used to have intense menstrual cramps, but once I had my uterus removed they ceased. Guess that must've been a fluke.

BTW, the uterine contractions I had during labor were very similar to severe menstrual cramps, and they sure felt like they came from my uterus, directly from my uterus - not from "muscles AROUND the uterus" or nearby. That must've been a fluke too.

I'm so grateful these guys are around to mansplain women's experiences to us. /s
