Women's IssuesApparently it’s hotly contested that lesbians and bi women have periods and go through menopause.

Ok, so what special information about menopause needs to be specifically targeted to non-straight or non-"cis" women, exactly? Literally the only thing I can think of is that FtMs who are on T might need some information about how T might affect that, but otherwise there's literally no difference. Why do these people have to be such clowns? 🤦‍♀️

I'm confused why menopause would be any different for lesbian or bi women.

I really think she’s working herself into a Gordian knot wanting to talk about menopause and not acknowledging it’s something only women experience. But, she knows it’s a silly point on its own. So, she’s pulling the classic TQ+ move of latching onto LGB people to try to strengthen her argument. Meanwhile, all the lesbians and bi women are just confused because literally no one thinks we don’t experience menopause and have ever left us out of the conversation.

Speaking as a post menopausal woman, and going only by the words there (IOW, no idea if that's taken out of context) , I think this is about the way menopausal relief is often presented primarily as a way to deal with PIV pain from vaginal atrophy. As if ONLY women who have sex with men via PIV need to worry about sexual dysfunction from vaginal atrophy. As atrophy can lead to anorgasmia and pain, it's obviously of interest to all sexually active women, regardless of if they have sex with men.
