Boy am I glad Aunt Flow doesn't pay me any visits. The more I hear about her, the more she sounds like a total bitch.

Well, Flow's generally been on her best behavior when she comes a-callin' on me (or my mom, back in the day); aside from the sheer VOLUME of blood-- which brings to mind that elevator from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining-- discomfort is minimal. (And that's coming from a world-class wimp.) Ditto mood swings, being famished, etc. Overall, it's pretty much a non-event for Yours Truly.

Which is to say that women experience this process VERY differently. And yet, based on the way that the ladyfeelz-brigade imagines period-having, you'd never know it! Notice how it's always THE. WORST. PAIN. EVER, and they're crying and wailing and generally freaking the fuck out, and undergoing weird ravenous food-cravings, and otherwise turning the EXTRA-NESS up so far that the dial falls off. Cuz that's "transwomen"'s MUH PERIOD!!!TM for ya! Melodrama that'd be just TOO MUCH even for the likes of Douglas Sirk!

Huh... wonder why the periods that they conjure up in their fervid brains are never like... my borin'-ass ones...?

Oh god I feel guilty for LOLing to this.As for my monthly visitor all I have to say is that I worship at the altar of mesulid.It usually only takes at most one pill to pull me through the first day,when the pain is sometimes so intense,I want to crawl in a corner and die.
