How Menstruation Affects People Across Gender Identity Spectrum

[@Bellamammal]

It wasn't her body that betrayed her. It is her mind.

[@-skyandrainbows]

It would be more factual to say; It is the hormones that betrayed you. When hormones shapes a mind and a body, that doesn’t correspond with your mind or identity it can cause body dismorphia. That starts with hormones, that then changes your mind. Hormones came before mind 😊

[@jamilifunk6199]

I agree. Trans inclusion is the number 1 priority of the U.S. right now. Homelessness, poverty, economic disparity, housing crisis, etc are all on the back burner. The reality is this: if we give into the demands of a minority of left minded progressive folks, we should expect the same from the right. Radical Fundamentalist Christianity is a minority view that could make its way into government, just like the trans objectives. We must be careful with allowing minority views to hold such power.

Why do you have to take hormones, please remind me? If you are a woman, then you naturally produce them on your own, especially when you are young as you are. Do hormones give you uterus? And if not, how can your non-existing uterus bleed? Is now the definition of menstruation up to be changed for people who fantasize about being a woman? Is there a higher risk of cancer in taking regularly hormones especially when they are bioactive/ unconjugated from natural occurring proteins? People I have known have felt that way, and I have lost a trans neighbor that way.

Someone who is nonbinary does not identify as a man or a woman or finds fluidity within the spectrum. Transmasculine refers to the fact that they, while still being non-binary, tend to feel more aligned with a masculine gender expression while having been assigned female at birth. So they're still not a man, but they lean towards the masculine side of the spectrum. Hope this can help you out :)
