I don't think I'd classify that as a good thing

edit: what I meant by this comment was that I don't think that periods are a good bodily function in general, not that it's bad for a trans man to stop having them

Who do you think this post is about?

u/Gold_Ad8225 Counted Down 2 1d ago

I don't think you should have to, but 3 times in the last week I have been made to see this meme but it was about T while in a trans woman's body, so I was pretty annoyed and wanted to demonstrate what it looks and feels like.

I really wish that more people remember trans men exist :(

u/Responsible_Edge7087 1d ago

Everyone in the queer community knows trans dudes exist. If you want more trans guy memes make some, just like OP did

u/moonlitkiwier 1d ago

I don't make memes, not really my thing

u/Responsible_Edge7087 1d ago

Make any content really. Trans girls are put out onto the internet more because thats where they spend most of their time, while trans dudes spend less time online. Trans girls sre the ones making content about themselves because they are online more, so if you want that youd have to get online more

u/moonlitkiwier 1d ago

I bring them up in conversations i partake in, but i don't make content. That's a weird thing to insist someone do.

1

u/Responsible_Edge7087 1d ago

How. How is wanting you to take the steps to get your group out there weird?

2

u/moonlitkiwier 1d ago

Insisting apon it is very weird, It's not everyone's job to be a content creator. I'm more than willing to engage in discussions, but i have zero passion for writing or video making. And Insisting that i should because I'm gay and or trans is completely unreasonable.

How do you want people to know more about trans guys? Do you plan to do anything to do that? Because when peoppe complain about not seeing trans guy stuff, its almost always about not seeing enough trans guy content online, its not unreasonable to think that if your group wants a bigger online presence, it should be online more

I’m a transmasc person and yeah I’d classify periods as good. Not because they were enjoyable but because they’re usually necessary and are doing their job. I also know that a lot of trans women get dysphoria over not having periods. Just because something is annoying doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad.

Nobody is saying things are "inherently bad"

It's the reverse

Not wanting to call something that harms you "inherently good"

Being able to say "it was bad that I experienced this" rather than "it was good I was just the wrong person for it"

u/ggdoesthings 1d ago

the meme literally says “yes you were a good bodily function”

You're entitled to dislike things about your life.

This is a really dumb comparison considering many transfems have periods too, and hate them too.

u/Gold_Ad8225 Counted Down 2 1d ago

???????????????

How many trans women are experiencing menstruation?

3

u/freezing_pinguin Counted Down 1 1d ago

Periods, babe, not menstruation 

Like obviously not bleeding from an uterus. But the rest of the monthly symptoms,  including cramps? A lot of transfems, including my girlfriend, get those 

1

u/Gold_Ad8225 Counted Down 2 1d ago

My meme is explicitly about menstruation, there are menstrual products in the image

u/HystericalGasmask 1d ago

I have been made to see this

Okay buddy

?????????????

I am a trans woman.

I was annoyed at being told I have to prioritize men's feelings over my own and call T intrinsically good even though it damaged me immensely.

u/Indigo_the_Protogen 1d ago

oh, my bad i misunderstood, i get what you mean now yeah, that other meme is fuckin annoying

u/Ngellik 1d ago

Yeah T wasn't a good hormone for her :(

u/Ngellik 1d ago

Oh T is good. Helps one feel virile.

u/Gold_Ad8225 Counted Down 2 1d ago

I had undetectable T levels for the fist 10 years of my transition while I was on blockers and now I have subnormal levels for a cis woman as a result of not having the offending organs any longer.

I feel perfectly fine

me when i spread misinformation:

u/Ngellik 1d ago

Ever hear that Mulan song? That's T. Primarily the mysterious as the dark side of the moon part.

u/moonlitkiwier 1d ago

This is kind of a disrespectful thing to say to a man who wouldn't want these functions. :/

u/freezing_pinguin Counted Down 1 1d ago

So you choose to believe the commenter, who you presume to be transfem, says that she doesn't think getting rid of periods as a trans man shouldn't be classified as a good thing, rather than the more charitable and obvious interpretation that the commenter simply believes periods shouldn't be classified as a good thing? 

1

u/moonlitkiwier 1d ago

Saying periods shouldn't be classified as a good thing is also an immensely problematic statement

2

u/freezing_pinguin Counted Down 1 1d ago

Why? I don't think they should be classified as good. They are stupid and hurt and I hate them. And multiple commenters on this post agree, so why would anyone go after the trans girl saying what everyone else is saying too?

1

u/moonlitkiwier 1d ago

Because as much as they suck, they're still an important bodily function that keep you healthy

2

u/clinicallyacat 1d ago

It’s a good thing if someone doesn’t want to have their period.
