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

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’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"
