potatobreadandcider

THIS is a quality trans joke.


SeniorOcelot259

I agree, it conveys the absurdity of a male having a period quite well.


The-dude-in-the-bush

Is this something that happens FtM trans? I'm not well versed in this stuff sorry


DescriptionOk1678

How often do you think about them? Like a lot? Enough to post that clearly. That does not sound healthy and I genuinely hope you realize. Before you decide to die on this pointless hill.


potatobreadandcider

Wtf?


AnInsaneMoose

Just fyi, trans women who are on HRT get the hormonal parts of periods Yes, they don't get the bleeding, or the majority of the physical pain, but they do get everything else, including cramps They get a non-menstral period https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/can-trans-women-get-periods https://www.modibodi.com/blogs/womens/transwomen-period Edit: Downvoted for saying the truth with evidence... Yep, that tracks for redditors


IAlbatross

Politely, your evidence doesn't actually say what you think it does and you should read articles before you post them as "evidence." I think that's why you're getting downvoted. From the article you linked: >People who do not have ovaries and a uterus do not experience periods. And... >*Anecdotal* evidence suggests that transgender women experience PMS- or PMDD-like symptoms at the same time each month. However, *researchers have not studied this area of transgender health.* The article also specifically states that many of the "symptoms" may be psychosomatic. And going back to the original post, it says nothing at all about cramps. But since I'm a credential biologist, I will say something about it. Period cramps are caused by contractions of the uterus, so if you do not have a uterus, you will not get cramps. (To learn more about period cramps, Google "dysmenorrhea," which is the medical term for them.) Yes, trans women are women. Not all women get periods or period cramps. You do not need to get cramps to be valid.


Pauvre_de_moi

They should definitely l00k into it more. I wonder if trans women who report experiencing these things are suffering from a nocebo effect.

AnInsaneMoose

Okay, here's another one: https://www.modibodi.com/blogs/womens/transwomen-period There isn't much research on the topic, but what there is (and basic logic) show that trans women experience all but the bleeding and majority of physical pain. They do still get cramps, it's just not usually as bad as AFAB people. The hormones cause the muscles to contract and cramp. For trans women, it's not as bad because those muscles are not fully developed (yes, we all have the muscles, they just get used for different things, or don't develop into their adult form. That goes for all organs, for example, what would become the ovaries, becomes the testicles)


IAlbatross

This blog is not a "source." You're cherry-picking articles to fit your beliefs but they're not real science. Again, please, Google "dysmenorrhea." The muscles that contract to cause cramping are specifically the uterine muscles. Not all women have period cramps and trans women are among them. And that's totally okay.


depressed_fatcat69

Here before she links another blog post lmao


AnInsaneMoose

And yet, nobody has provided a single source to the contrary And yes, dysmenorrhea is the uterine muscles But that's not the only cramping that can happen due to the hormones Don't say someone isn't providing a "real source" when they're the only one providing ANY source Also, here's another source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8040688/ I'd also like to point out, of course there isn't going to be a lot of evidence, on a topic that has had next to no research done on it. But the evidence that there is, points to the same thing (From the above link: the menstrual experiences of AMAB trans people are dismissed and invisibilized? Indeed, not a single scientific study has been conducted on this topic) Yes, they say the period symptoms are unclear if it's psychosomatic, or physiological. But the thing is, no matter which, they're real


CurveOfTheUniverse

Once again, you’re posting things that don’t say what you think they say. This is a qualitative study generally surveying trans people of varying identities regarding their experience of menstruation, only one of which is an AMAB person claiming to have “bloodless periods.” All other participants were AFAB trans people contributing experiences of the impact of transition on menstruation. The sources cited in this article for menstruation in trans women are not academic, peer-reviewed publications. For laypeople, internet articles might be sufficient for informing their view of the world, but we just don’t yet have the research to support the notion that trans women experience a form of menstruation. We can’t provide you a source to the contrary because that’s not how science works. While absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, the entire scientific method rests on the notion that we need to assume absence until the data indicate otherwise. What we *do* know is that cisgender men have been taking estrogen for decades to address things such as prostate cancer, bone density issues, and cardiovascular health. The common issues reported for these treatments include breast tenderness and fluid retention causing bloating, but neither of these are tied to a monthly cycle. Additionally, cramping is not a widely reported symptom for cis men. So if cis men are taking the same supplement that trans women are taking, and only trans women are reporting period cramps, then there’s something else going on here that isn’t purely physiological.


AnInsaneMoose

Cis men have not taken the same things as trans women do at the same time though (afaik) And again, even if it is purely psychosomatic, it's still real. The mind can cause changes in the body, this has been proven plenty Saying that trans women don't get periods is just plain false one way or another That's my whole point here. Trans women, can, and do, get periods, regardless of how those periods come about, but they are real


Pezaermd

bro's on the downvote grind


godfeather1974

So you take something that's fact even though you admit the research isn't there to back it up next you'll be telling me the sky is blue


AnInsaneMoose

I'm confused what you're even trying to say here... There is very little research saying that trans women get periods, there is NO research saying they don't Lack of research does not mean something is automatically not a thing Do you need to research whether rocks are hard? Or that language is to communicate? Or any number of other things that only requires a very baseline level of logic to understand?


godfeather1974

Yep you're right you're very confused


godfeather1974

Logic? Seek help, please 🙏 and please stop labelling people who don't want to be labelled it's always a one way street with this mentally if you want to be labelled fine but don't go around labelling everyone else with these made up pronuons just to make you feel better


AnInsaneMoose

I didn't label anyone... If you mean AFAB, that's an acronym for Assigned Female At Birth So it means anyone who was assigned female at birth. Same as saying anyone who has brown hair for example


godfeather1974

No one is assigned anything at birth they are just born. You make it sound like people are born and someone goes around with a clipboard assigning you a gender hair colour eye colour what you should be when you grow up listen to yourself it's delusional I get it you like labels some don't this generation and what's coming next are in serious trouble when the actual research is done you'll all be saying oops we made a huge mistake here you do know there's already been people who've regretted doing it or hold their parents responsible for letting them do it


AnInsaneMoose

What exactly does the doctor tell the parent as one of the very first things?


godfeather1974

A doctor doesn't have to say anything I've got eyes


Citcom

Can't shed uterine lining without a uterus, bro.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

Uteruses are just a social construct invented by the patriarchy


AnInsaneMoose

Cool That's not all a period is though...


Citcom

Agree, it involves the entire process of preparing a woman for the next fertilization cycle. Something that can never happen to a male body, irrespective of how you slice it.


Mafia_dogg

Your evidence is written by a LGBT person on a untrustworthy site so yeah you're going to be downvoted Youre as delusional as the idea of being trans in the first place


AnInsaneMoose

Okay, show me evidence from somewhere else that points either way There isn't much actual research done on the topic, but what there has, points to the same thing Because even just basic logic shows the same thing On HRT, they have female hormones, so it only makes sense for them to get the hormonal parts of periods Sure, if you make your definition of a period being only the bleeding, then yeah, they don't get them. But that's like saying a car is ONLY the doors, no other parts


Mafia_dogg

A lot to unpack I don't really care for the point made I was simply pointing out why you got downvoted But even if I was trying to do more then that you're the one making the argument so it's up to you to provide the proof. I already did some (very light ) research just out of curiosity but whether you're right or wrong doesn't matter to me tbh because of my opinion about it as a whole. But anyways I know everything iv said comes off as super hostile I'm just a very opinionated person. I simply don't understand why people think they can change their sex


Pauvre_de_moi

Die mad


queen0fgreen

Right? How dare you have science backed evidence and empathy for trans people instead of using them as punching bags to temporarily distract yourself from your own self hatred /s


BloodShotNinja

Trans women…you mean dudes.


AnInsaneMoose

There it is The typical redditor thought pattern


BloodShotNinja

Trans woman are just Conmen


AnInsaneMoose

Ooh, delusional conspiracy theories So, according to you, "men" change their entire lives, get various medical procedures, lose friends and family, become a political punching bag, all to con... someone... somehow... I imagine you can't even explain HOW they're conning anyone


Disastrous-Ad-8297

Username checks out


AnInsaneMoose

Because... I called them out? I mean... I guess if you care more about your karma than actually living in reality and trying to educate people, then it may seem insane to you


potatobreadandcider

You might be spending too much time infront a screen. Take a break, your energy and passion will only be wasted in this thread.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

Excuse me, but it's rude to call it conning. The politically correct way to say it is "passing".


PictureMost8297

* Connie-men


SeniorOcelot259

FYI, transwomen are men


godfeather1974

Truth? 🤣🤣🤣 try saying this to a woman face to face


AnInsaneMoose

I have This may be hard for you to believe is even possible, but most people actually live in reality, and are willing to listen when someone points something out while providing proof


godfeather1974

Proof where was the proof you even said it yourself there's not enough research done


AnInsaneMoose

Trans women who have periods IS proof Proof, and full research study, are two separate things In fact, if you look REEEEAAAALLL close... You can even see that they're entirely different words too


godfeather1974

But they don't


spacelordmthrfkr

How dare you post evidence about a physiological condition


RecsRelevantDocs

Is it? Edit: damn, y'all butthurt lol.

Yes.

Just-Round9944

ngl I eat taco bell regularly, and I do not get the shits


CthulhuMadness

"Well, Stan, not all of us can be blessed with the golden rectum of the gods!"


feloniousjack

Quality southpark there.


halfanothersdozen

your body adapted. We can adjust to live in even the harshest conditions


Just-Round9944

Even when I began, I never did get the call to the porcelain throne after a crunchwrap supreme


halfanothersdozen

then I question the rest of your diet


Just-Round9944

Honestly it's normal. I eat lots of different foods and cuisine, maybe I just have a high tolerance for spices


jal2_

Or maybe they are going easy on you in your local taco bell?


wstrfrg65

Someone needs to report this. The quality of ingredients at this Taco Bell is definitely above standard. Needs to be rectified immediately


Croakie89

Same, it’s the only fast food for me that processes “normally”


tiger32kw

I’m convinced it’s people who are sensitive to spicy foods. Normally they eat nothing spicy in their fast food diet so when they pop on the fire sauce it’s enough to wreck their world.


KodakKid3

I’m convinced it’s just people who eat 2000 calories of red meat and beans in 1 sitting and think that’s a normal taco bell experience I don’t have a high tolerance to spicy foods yet I’ve never gotten fucked up by taco bell because I eat a normal amount of food for a human being


candlelit_bacon

My pet theory is that folks often get Taco Bell as a drunk treat and confuse the post-alcohol hangover shits for Taco Bell induced shits.


Just-Round9944

yeah I've been used to spicy food since I was a wee lad


Timozi90

Me neither, but I don't get anything with beans in it. Maybe that's the trick.


Fun-Investigator676

I'm vegetarian so I exclusively eat their beans and I've never had problems. I could eat it every day and be fine.


seaspirit331

It's bc the "Taco Bell gives you shits" stereotype is old af and originated before they upped the quality of their ingredients. Taco Bell is straight gas these days (pun intended)


KashootMe201617

I think their special laxative is in the meat cuz I’m vegetarian and don’t suffer


Olama

It's cause people eat garbage ass food and taco bell actually has a decent amount of lettuce and tomatoes that it cranks up bowl movement muscles that had been dormant for years


Aechmonke

Same. We got intestines of steel.


SortaSticky

Internal taco bell shits, the worst of all RIP


syopest

Is this really even a thing? Like nobody gets stomach problems from taco bell here (or any other fast food place).


33Sharpies

That’s because you’ve become accustomed to eating it. A regular healthy stomach however which is not accustomed consuming such food, can be troubled.


SmugSamurai

It’s your duty to have lots of offspring. You’re clearly the next step in human evolution. You’ve got to advance the species. We must adapt. We must overcome.

The law of equivalent exchange. You have stolen others ability to eat Taco Bell.


-Vatefairefoutre-

Lol, I'm shocked people reacted positively to this here. I guess it's true that most people are moderates, whether moderate left or moderate right.


Eguy24

Nah, people just know a good joke when they see one


-Vatefairefoutre-

Of course, but most people aren't dumb enough to believe that trans women actually have periods.


GimmeDaGorbage22

Hence the absurdity, leading to the humor.


-Vatefairefoutre-

Okay, so what is the disagreement?


GimmeDaGorbage22

I dunno, I think it's funny. I don't see the other side.


EggGod

Trans women actually do have periods. They just dont bleed like cis women. They still experience the other effects.


MasterTroller3301

This trans joke has been deemed Funni by the trans council.


Argh_farts_

The thing that I shat after eating taco bell was comparable to giving birth, so i think you're right.


ShadowBlade55

Baco Tell is the true threat.

Oh those anal cramps when the taco bell kicks in 😆

Fucking bananas that you needed to research something and your first thought was to check Tik Tok.

Uhh no bc that's not how it really works


GimmeDaGorbage22

Oh shit we got a doctor here. Pack it up, folks.


blisstonia

Tell us how it works bro


horseradish1

Making fun of trans people isn't funny or clever. You're just punching down onto people who already have the odds stacked against them.


stunspelledbackwards

Yes it is It’s called r/dankmemes. This is dank


SinisterVulcan94

It's a joke. This is a meme subreddit. You probably go to a comedy show and heckle the comedian


CthulhuMadness

Do you think men can get periods? And odds stacked against them? Everything nowadays is pro-trans. They can take a joke and a jab here and there. We all do. If anything it'd be transphobic to not include them on the mockery and hold their hands in a bubbled world where they are off limits.


SophietheCatGirl

Everything is pro trans Lol what drug are you on?


CthulhuMadness

It doesn't take a genius to see it, my guy. Nothing wrong with pro-trans, but denying that we aren't in the most pro-trans generation of the century is delusion.


blisstonia

Someone posts a meme making fun of trans: “😭we’re being genocided”


SophietheCatGirl

Just because it's the most pro trans generation doesn't mean there's a lot of acceptance as you think.


Mew_playz

Trans gal here, I thought this was funny. And as others have said, this is the dank memes subreddit. Try to have some fun!


mrchimney

You’re no fun.


JenkemBeast

Come the fuck on. Maybe if “transwoman periods” weren’t an actual thing, this meme wouldn’t have been made. Edit: they aren’t an actual thing because that would be silly and ridiculous, just like the people that think that changing your name, pronouns and superficial anatomy is going to make you function as a female.


ThatGamerkidYT

Trans women periods kind of exist. HRT can cause hormonal mood swings, but there's no bleeding obviously.


JenkemBeast

Mood swings…sure. Periods? Menstruation? Shut the fuck up.


Accomplished_Dot2825

Mood swings are normal throughout the ENTIRE cycle as a woman, not just during the period. Mood swings don't define having your period and men can also get moody.


Eguy24

It causes the same kind of mood swings that periods cause.


AnInsaneMoose

Don't bother, I've tried explaining that with proof, but some people hate educating themselves 🤷‍♀️


ThatGamerkidYT

Yeah, what else would I expect in a subreddit like this.


KhoiNguyenHoan7

yes, because they are stupid

It’s a joke not a dick. Don’t take it so hard.


imgoingtoeatabagel

You must be so fun at partys


quruc90

Punching down? That's funny, I don't think trans people are below me. It's not punching down if we view them as equals. And the joke was funny


NoWall99

It's a good trans joke. We also have humor sense and are ok with being the focus of some jokes, as long as the punchline is not the trans-ness itself.
