    I’ve had cis girls in the past tell me I’m lucky I don’t have a period, which I always have to explain isn’t the compliment they think it is lol. i think there’s definitely benefits to having your body more in line with how it would be without the need for HRT - with that said I think it’s a major upgrade that I can’t get pregnant 😌

    that said I don’t think transfem periods are an actual thing tbh, tho I’ve read mixed things

      Y’know, it’s really tough sometimes. I get my period every 3 weeksish. Sometimes it is mild. Other times, it is the most miserable 4-5 days on the planet. I’m pissy, have mood swings, dysphoric, depressive, have really bad stomach cramps, and activates the hell out of my IBS. So while it is an affirming thing for me, it genuinely shuts me down for 4-5 days every 3 weeks. So yes, while I do wish every transgirl could have it, I hope that they don’t get it even half as bad as I do since it eats up like 30% of my life now.

      I do wish I could get pregnant though. At least it would make getting this worth it. aubrey-cry-1
