I guess I could talk about my period problems to my guy friends. I bet they would be able to offer a lot of advice and similar experiences!

Possibly yes? Likewise there are a lot of women that can't commiserate with you on that. Either because they don't have periods or because the experiences people have with their periods can vary so much.

Making friends with people because of their gender on the wild chance that they might have a similar menstrual cycle as you, and you can commiserate together occasionally, seems like a poor deciding factor for friendships to me.

[(Anonymous)]

You can have more than one type of friend. And sometimes you want a group of friends with the same interests AND the same gender. Not all the time, but sometimes.

[blitzwing]

Why would you specifically want a certain gender in your friends?

[(Anonymous)]

da, but I know the 'lol a transwoman totally is 100 percent a wominz u gaiz", but there are times where only a biological woman is going to know what you're experiencing as a bio-woman and vice versa. And yeah, the 'phantom period' people still aren't going to understand what a cramp feels like. Even I can't fully explain it! It's just like I'm never going to understand what testicle pain feels like or having 'blue balls'

[blitzwing]

people still aren't going to understand what a cramp feels like. Even I can't fully explain it!

If you can't fully explain it, then how do you know that your experience is a shared one with other women? They could be experiencing an entirely different cramp, that feels nothing like yours, and have no personal experience of what your cramps feel like at all.

That's if they even experience cramps.

It's just like I'm never going to understand what testicle pain feels like or having 'blue balls'

Yet some women speak of having a "blue clit" so they clearly experience a feeling that they perceive as analogous to "blue balls".

Right, so you're so PC you have to pretend sex doesn't come with gender specific bodily functions. Gotcha. Now back to tumblr-fairyland with you, I'm sure the real world is too bright and scary for you.

[(Anonymous)]

It's always amusing how a very obvious shut in reddit nerd talks like an expert of the ~real world~

Sorry that the real world is now slowly starting to treat trans people like human beings. Must be hard for your fee fees...

[(Anonymous)]

JSYK, there are "biological women" who don't have periods due to a medical condition. Like me. If you started bitching about periods at me I'd be just as unable to relate as a trans woman would.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt, but of course there are women who don't have periods due to medical conditions. But that's the exception to the rule, and I don't understand why there always has to be a legalese disclaimer to make sure that every possible permutation of people's experiences are covered.

In most circumstances, if a woman wants to bitch about her period, MOST* other women are going to be able to empathize with the experience.

*Most, not all, some exceptions exist, etc etc etc

[blitzwing]

In most circumstances, if a woman wants to bitch about her period, MOST* other women are going to be able to empathize with the experience.

As would most men.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really. Most men I've seen it mentioned around thought it was gross, I had one guy said it was 'unnatural' and said "blood...coming from there, eeeeugh" and would cringe. He was in his late twenties.

[(Anonymous)]

No, they wouldn't. You're being delusional.

[(Anonymous)]

Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

Nice transphobia, you're piece of dried dookie :)

[(Anonymous)]

"Possibly yes? Likewise there are a lot of women that can't commiserate with you on that."

But statistically, I will have a better chance asking my female friends about it. Like...WAYYY better of a chance.

[blitzwing]

If you're going to make a claim about statistics, you should probably have a source.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

are you... are you for real here

[blitzwing]

100% nonny. I'm not saying they have to dredge up a research paper on it, but they should at least be able to explain *why* they believe there's a higher chance of a female friend being able to commiserate versus a male one.

[(Anonymous)]

...

you want someone to source the claim that - taking the male and female populations - more people in the female group will be able to commiserate about menstruation than people in the male group

i mean, like. do you want a source for the claim that more women menstruate than men. is that what you're asking for here

am i missing something here, wtf is going on

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I mean, unless everyone is friends with lots of male gynecologists and FtM transmen? Which again, is statistically unlikely. (Even without me finding a study...)

[blitzwing]

i mean, like. do you want a source for the claim that more women menstruate than men. is that what you're asking for here

Nope. I'm asking for the basis of the nonny's belief that, statistically, female friends would be more able to commiserate about menstruation than male friends.

[(Anonymous)]

I dunno, some men I've met I swear could menstruate...

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I get the feeling you have only male friends/no female friends and are trying to justify it in some bizarre way. You're way too defensive and weirdly offended here.

[blitzwing]

Sorry, but your theory is wrong. I have a mix of different genders for friends, man, woman, and even agender.

[(Anonymous)]

I completely get what you're saying in this thread, anon, and I feel the same way. I actually don't have any female friends who live within socializing distance at the moment, and man do I ever miss them.
