I have survived significant medical trauma since I first got my period at 11. This was made especially distressing by dysphoria, and autism which made it harder to articulate why I hated my period so much. One of the biggest reasons I identify as trans is my specific dysphoria around menstruation, and the isolation that led to. I missed out on all the female solidarity, I missed out on being able to ask for advice, I missed out on being gentle with my body and mind while I suffered through my hellish health condition. So when I meet afab people that claim they are NB or trans but feel comfortable to talk about their female reproductive organs, I feel angry, mocked, and jealous. What’s much worse though, is the AUDACITY of some trans women to claim they have periods. Fuck you! you will never understand! the way the patriarchy is built into the medical system destroyed my life for 7 years. You will NEVER understand. I’m on T, I have a hormonal IUD, AND I am on birth control, yet still have shocking pain akd bleeding. I am forced to be asexual because of pain and I miss out on many opportunities. I have had surgery and countless ultrasounds and procedures. I have lived with pain worse than you can fathom on a daily fucking basis and never been able to talk about it. I desperately want a hysterectomy but I have to freeze some eggs first, and I’m only 20 so it’s rare to get it so young. The shit I’ve been through makes me feel insulted by fake trans people. I only feel I can connect with other GENUINE trans men, and even then we would all rather talk about anything other than being trans 😅 because we’re men, nothing more and nothing less. If

you take umbridge with my story please don’t tell me cos I don’t fucking care; this is my lived reality and I’m not changing it for you.
