when you become a man, do you still get your period?


or does it stop the second you decide to swap genders?

reply

I think the hormone treatment stops them.

reply

really? you think that might be possible?

reply

HRT for trans people doesn’t necessarily stop the menstrual cycle apparently.

reply

No. He was always a man. Just one with a womb, vagina , periods and breasts.

reply

So regarding all these attributes the whole mankind was wrong all the time and only this freak was right?
Occam's razor comes to my mind. But wait, that's probably a REAL scientific approach and not that helpful for the woke community...

reply

She was never, and is not now, a man.

reply

You just described a woman.

reply

Inside he was a man, yes....that’s the point.
Now he actually doesn’t have breasts any more and if he has bottom surgery too, then he will not have a vagina, vulva, womb, ovaries or periods.
The male hormones (assuming he’s taking them to fully transition) will redistribute his body fat from a female to male form, create rougher skin, cause male pattern/more hair growth, increase muscle mass etc etc. BUT don’t necessarily cease the menstrual cycle whilst/if there’s still the apparatus for the body to do that.....it varies between individuals and any changes are not immediate or potentially permanent.
To stop or reduce the frequency and heaviness of periods it is best done by using hormonal birth control, but obviously a hysterectomy is the ultimate ‘cure’.

reply

Male to Female get periods.

reply

ah interesting, pure logic!

reply

yeah? since when?

reply

They say so. Must be real.

reply

Hahaha, right? :D

reply

I’ve also watched a Biological Male attempt to breast feed a baby recently. I guess just every impossibility is on the table.

reply

Saw that as well ... crazy world is not just crazy but deeply stupid as well ...

reply

Stupid, delusional, whatever. They seemed genuinely surprised that “she” wasn’t producing milk. As if they were going to will it into being.

reply

maybe a birth control shot to stop it?

reply

That’d be cool. Women could just be men for 1 week a month and not have periods.

Think of the benefit to the opposite gender. No dealing with the PMS excuse. No worrying about knocking up some bimbo.

Maybe it’s onto something.

reply

WELL...ARENT YOU A CHARMER.🤔

reply

Women don’t have periods or their strong hormonal affects generally for about 2 weeks a month.
This is seriously reduced and can be stopped altogether with birth control.

reply

i think you still get your period on the pill

reply

Yes, you can but you can also manage it, and indeed halt it using the contraceptive pill.
For example, you take the pill each day for 3 weeks, then stop, so the fourth week you have your period. If you were going on holiday that fourth week, and so didn’t want your period, you would keep taking the pill each day and when you came home (let’s say you have a fortnight’s holiday) you stop taking it (week 7) and your period comes on.
So prolonged use can delay or prevent the period.
I believe that other birth control methods can stop periods too.

This explains a few methods, and should be a legitimate reference:

reply

ah interesting!

reply

One week a month to smack your head off your shoulders.

reply

Most female to males to get hysterectomies and breast removal rather quickly I've noticed. Yeah I know, it's sad.

reply

ok :(

reply

isnt that against the hippocratic oath?

reply

Does they have a working penis?

reply

As I understand the terminology, they would say that while men can technically get periods, it's only a certain type of man that can get them: trans men. Cis men can not get them.

The rebuttal would be, "trans men are women. That's why they can get them!"

I can see the merits of both sides but I'm pretty sure biology isn't ignored. I'm pretty sure Elliot knows that "he" will still get "his period," (which may sound strange to say, "his period", and very post-modernist with no meaning), I have to admit that "his period" makes some sense to me. We're referencing the gender. I can see where they're coming from.

But then we get to the big question of, "What makes Elliot feel like a 'man'? What does the word 'man' even mean in that context?" It seems like it's some philosophical invisible quality becuase there have been cis men who have been laughed at and told, "you're not a man!" at various points in their lives and they had penises and XY chromosomes.

So, oh well. Who knows wtf is going on anymore!

This argument is always so disgusting to me.

Why are we even entertaining these delusions?

Will Ellen Page ever be able to inseminate a woman? No.

Does she have testes? No.

Will she ever be able to compete adequately against other men in any kind of professional sport? No.

Will she ever have a properly working prostrate? No.

She is, and will always be -- no matter how much butchery is done to her somatic body -- a woman.

She's suffering from some serious mental delusions and needs psychiatric help. Trying to redefine biology based on the whims of post-modernists is just beyond any form of logical reasoning, because at the end of the day someone's delusions will never change their biology. Ever.

I bet you were for gay marriage when that issue came out. The slippery slope people were right.

reply

I fail to see the connection.

A gay man doesn't pretend to be something he's not ...

reply

you fail to see it because you've been conditioned to think gay man are normal. Have you never seen a gay pride parade? Look at them and ask yourself if that's a normal person. There's a reason 60% of serial killers are gay men despite being 2% of the population. Lets look at the pedophile numbers. For every straight man than gets busted for banging an underage girl, 28 gay men have molested a young boy. These are stats. These are facts. What you see on TV these days where it's just two normal guys who can be overemotional at times, is a complete farce. We succumb to the demands on the mentally deranged, and just like you dont negotiate with terrorists, you do not negotiate with these types or you end up with a bunch of genital mutilators.

reply

YOU ARE A PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT.🙂

reply

You support and condone pedophilia, genital mutilation, and serial killers. Your opinion is invalid.

reply

INCORRECT ON ALL THREE CHARGES...SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU AND IT IS NO SMALL THING.

reply

No yeah totally. It's me. Not you, the one who types in all caps, has uncontrollable fits of rage, and supports pedophiles, child molestors, and genital mutilators. Definitely, yeah, definitely. 2 minutes to Wapner.

reply

I TYPE IN CAPS...EVERY OTHER WORD YOU JUST TYPED IS NONSENSE AND YOU COME OFF AS QUITE THE MORON TYPING IT UP.

reply

Yeah. 2 minutes to Wapner.

reply

AND THOSE AREN'T EVEN YOUR UNDERWEAR YOU HAVE ON.

reply

Ut oh! Ut oh! 1 minute to Wapner!!

She can try all she wants to will her self away from God. But God gave her that body, and admitting otherwise is to elevate humans above God.

reply


But God gave her that body..


That's a man made construct. If there was a God, that entity (not he or she) would be unconcerned with things like gender, which would only exist on Earth, not heaven (if there was one).

reply

God is only a man made construct to those arrogant enough to think of themselves as greater than God.

That’s quite a reach you’re making.

reply

First of all, I didn't say "God" was a man made construct, I said that a God specifically giving anyone a "body" is a man made construct. If there was a god, it would not be bothering with biological matters such as human bodies or gender or gender assignments, just "souls".

Anyone who thinks any potential afterlife includes a gender isn't giving the subject much thought.

reply

Anyone who thinks any potential afterlife includes a gender isn't giving the subject much thought.


Really? Because what if the afterlife is a parallel universe where your "soul" embodies a different corporeal being?

In a reality where the multiverse has already been proven due to particle observations from a mirroring universe having been discovered, it seems like maybe you're the one who haven't given it much thought about the possibilities of souls, embodiment, and biological beings.

reply

Can you prove God to me?

reply

can you prove the moon exists to a blind person?

the george floyd painting was destroyed by lightning, the odds of that happening are 1 in 3 zillion.

God is real.

reply

Demonboy is panicking at the lightning strike, because he worships BLM and its fake woke religion.

reply

Next CNN headline: Lightning is racist.

reply

God proving himself is too easy. He asks for faith because it’s hard.

reply

exactly, and good point.

the odds though of the lightning just hitting the bricks and nothing else is just amazing, the only thing that was destroyed was just the portrait, its too perfect to just be coincidence...

reply

Agreed. The bible is very consistent on its stance on worshipping false idols. Atheists, start paying attention.

reply

[deleted]

Either god was sending a message or these morons put up so many murals of the scumbag Floyd that the odds of lightning hitting one of them became very probable.

I wish there was laugh emoji's
