Seconding. I'm AFAB NB but I can talk about periods just fine. They all still have periods, and the periods themselves are far more likely to trigger dysphoria than complaining about them will. (Doesn't mean you shouldn't ask first, but it does mean it's worth asking at all.)

ayrt

Yeah, like, if they have problems with the idea of other people having periods they're gonna have a bad time considering close to half the world has periods.

Cis myself but a friend of mine has a reaaaalllly hard time during his period, extra dysphoria etc and has to block it out beyond the necessary and just can't talk about it. Not all trans guys/genderqueer ppl are going to have that issue, but if OP's friends are all recently come out, it might be pretty raw to deal with.

That's why I said "the idea of other people having periods" not "having periods" though. I 100% understand why he'd be dysphoric about his own, but being triggered by the idea that his mom had them is a step beyond that.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt I know, but the OP wanting to talk about period stuff and "girly things", presumably there'd be some kind of understanding of a mutual experience with talking about one's period. Or even with not, someone who's freshly come out might just be really sensitive at any mention at first, dunno whether triggered but definitely not up for a comfortable friendship sympathy exchange about non-dysphoric friend groaning about bloody cramps.

As long as OP approaches it as complaining about her own period and not acting as though she expects the other people to have intimate experience with it, I don't think it'd be as big an issue as she might think. Complain about it like you'd complain about it to any other guy, basically.
