#person who menstruates

[kael-writ]

I went to a gynecologist at a LGBT+ center, like specifically LGBT+ care, they asked my gender identity and pronouns, I identified repeatedly as non-binary, and they then proceeded to refer to OB/GYN care as "women's health". So cis women can spare me the ... well I certainly don't want to be so ironic as to call it hysterical... fear-mongering that someday a gynecologist might not refer to a cis woman as a woman. You're fine. You will be fine.

Life Tip: If you don't menstrate (regardless of your gender/sex and why you don't menstrate), carry around pads and tampons and supplies like that if you have friends or loved ones who do

I've had plenty of women who expressed to me their struggles around menses and their cycle, and I've always felt guilty that I didn't ever have anything with me (even if they didn't specifically need my help). In a world that often doesn't offer affordable/free menstral products, it can be hard for those to have supplies (especially if they have irregular/unpredictable or heavy cycles!). Having a friend who would be able (and willing) to spot a product or two might really ease the stress of menstruation

the way even close friends and family don’t give a fuck about menstrual pain. it’s “aw :/ i’m sorry you’re in pain :(” until you say you can’t do something and then it becomes clear they don’t actually believe how much it hurts.

about to start taking the pill to treat my pmdd and girl when I tell you I’m fucking terrified!!!! I don’t know what to expect?? I’ve had periods since I was 11 and my cycle is such a huge part of how I view my body and mind wtf is it going to be like . It’s probably going to be completely fine and be like nothing is different but I’m so scared I could cry

[senselessalchemist]

finally have an actual job so maybe I can stop being a hermit and get officially divorced and feel sort of financially stable and possibly try dating again and get a cat ??? is that allowed? no I probably shouldn't unless I get a bigger place and can have two cats to be friends

downside is when the fuck am I supposed to draw dumb comics if I'm working for hours and hours a day? Hell and suffering on earth. maybe i should get an iPad or a whatthefuck ever and draw on the commute so I don't lose even more of my meager art skills

it would have been good if Cindrella was more outspoken. And call out her family on not feeling **regretful and apologizing** after insults, ridicule and abuse.

step 1: continue the doctor who rewatch i abandoned because of bad brain days

step 2: watch 4 episodes a day for 3 days and get increasingly excited about it

step 3: immediately get more bad brain days and stop being excited/nor be able to concentrate enough to watch more

step 4: ???? idk, hope for the best i guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this might be bad but we cannot fuck with pro choicers who act like their pro choiceness is something sad but necessary or give it much more weight than it has. like its still taking a life but its justified. like sure we have the same beliefs ultimately but you make us feel mighty weird

saw the first volume of Cursed Princess Club in the store last Sunday as I was walking by the manga section, and the name was so unusual that I looked it up online when I got home, and found out it was on webtoons to read for free, and just finished it, and holy shit

literally one of the best stories I've ever read

ok mutuals. so we’ve established that i am extremely mentally ill about my job due to fomo and projection issues 🤪😻✨so i rarely let myself turn things down or take breaks or whatever. but im trying to be better about that and in the last couple of weeks like.. i took 2 days off last week and will take another one tomorrow and yesterday i started getting cr*mps so i pulled out of facilitating the orientation sessions bc i was like im in pain and this is one too many things and like.. if it sucks hit da bricks yk. but last night i got my p*riod and i didn’t sleep well and i feel so lightheaded and my cramps are horrible now… and it’s like. literally the only thing i have to do on campus today is orientation which is a nightmare anyway. so maybe i should skip it again and work from home today bc i NEVER let myself do that anymore bc im afraid to miss anything in the office (and also i don’t take anything like pain meds bc my family is insane 🤪 so i would be going thru cramps relying only on my heating pad and i do have one in the office but it’s obviously not the smae thing as like lying down with it and also if i do orientation then im flying solo for 2 hours ON MY FEET the whole time and this time id have to walk around a lot more bc of some of the changes we made). but then im like well ive come to work w worse cramps before and also i feel bad leaving my one colleague bestie alone in the office todsy (the other one is on vacation) esp bc im already taking another day off tomorrow. but then it’s like.. well i shouldn’t worry abt that i need to do what feels good for me. so idk that was kinda rambling and i was going to ask if u think i should stay home but i think typing that out… i am going to.

the new study that found that most tampons and sanitary pads on the market aren't anywhere near as absorbent as they're advertised/claim to be and not as absorbent as they should be considering their function and purpose is because their absorbency has so far only been tested with SALINE SOLUTION might be my final reason to kill all men, actually

being a transman on his period is like:

yea, my dick exploded, now i have to deal with it for a while. then it grows back and as soon as im happy with the dick ive sucessfully grown, transphobia nukes my brand new pp and bam, it exploded again.

Not me wearing kinesiology tape with gauze on my nipples because it’s the only thing working against this chaffing/menstruation-related pain.

[tkbrokkoli]
