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

#life tips #menstruation #and make sure you are a safe person to come to for that! it's no help if people don't feel safe coming to you for help y'know?#(not saying that in an accusatory way but in a reminder kind of way)#specifying women in that second paragraph because it's been women specifically who opened up to me about the topic #they usually are just venting to me but still i just want to help them to feel less shitty

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.

#even people who menstruate who don’t have severe pain will minimize it and act like you’re exaggerating when push comes to shove #yes i’m crying in the car bc my sister and dad did this exact thing and forced me to go to the grocery store when it’s advil o’clock #menstrual pain #period cramps #tw menstruation #lush.talk #personal #venting

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

#personal bullshit #i have never had what is traditionally considered a Real Job #this is my first 8 to 4 type job #tbqh if i could have just done teaching assistant work without the whole grad student shit that would have been cool #but i just couldn't anymore #no one there helped me when i needed it #a super huge fuck you to all of the mandatory training i had to do re: intimate partner violence and abuse #well anyway it's fucking done and who cares if i wasted 8ish years of my only life (:#now i get to help people make babies #which is not at all what i thought i would do #but hey at least it feels meaningful #and i get to wear scrubs all the time which is nice because they're kind of shapeless and make me look slightly more masc esp with binding #wonder if i could donate oocytes #im sure as fuck not gonna use them #might be too old tho #give bad eggs #also might have too much testosterone in my system now #0 idea how that works except at some point they expect me to stop menstruating #but my dumb reproductive parts are too strong too powerful will not be stopped by some pitiful exogenous T #anyway i really need to try to sleep #and stfu #but yeah maybe i can think about moving and getting 2 cats

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.

#whose sense of fulfillment extends past her appearance #Disney princess 👸#They could have added hatemob in a form of their like-minded people like a choir #Straying away eye contact and narrowing eyes as if that person is hard to see(like they have a bad vision) and no one really telling to def #defend yourself even Fairy Godmother (who could be a project of Cindy's imagination who's also like thinks violence and insubordination #isn't an answer nor feminine)#You could add more realism to Cindrella like if you can't really stand up from home abuse what about abuse outside #Add hate mob that are the choir that would be perfectly even more realistic #And perhaps for a reinvention let her dad or fairy tell that you need to tell your abusers off tell them that choring is their job #And for the external abuse huz's mom tell you have to tell them off you have to attack(or smth of that) because by that you not only show #you can also answer-attack but you can do it twice 💪#Answer the bullies so they know you can do that not only that but doing it TWICE #And like imagine choring during your menstruation like wtf #Fuck them off you need to take care of yourself first #Cindrella a true story Cindrella grows awareness and a backbone #Cindrella and a choir hatemob #them be like “oh you need to look after my stuff and bag; oh sorry my bad that was actually my friend seat right here”#And tell her “if you don't behave nobody would love you” turn over to #“If they like me they just like me” “I don't need to turn into a downtrodden people-pleaser to be liked. That's fake” and #“good girls”go to hell #female socialization subversion #Strong Ella's #Tmnt #And not make abuse because of jealousy or smth because they've seen the behavior of #bringing violence into home and then not regretting and not apologizing #.Like the original poster have said “whose sense of fulfillment extends past her appearance or wedding plans”#That stepmother really tought that adopted daughter was a better option because other bio girls won't subordinate but really what's going o #is adopted one has turned into a standard house worker; specifically #a worker if not serving then beaten or insulted without regret or apology #And cindrella can be also called bruisisella

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)_/¯

#i would like to swap my brain for one that works properly please #this one is fucked up #hopefully this is menstruation related and i'll be fine in a week... HOPEFULLY #angel talks #personal #angel's doctor who rewatch

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

#do you cry every single time someone menstruates. that egg could have been a person who experiences joy...#but i support woman so i will be okay with this. hashtag autonomy!#tw abortion #or maybe this is just a heartless connor moment

Seeing t*rfs infiltrate that one post saying shit like "they're objectifying us (women) by comparing us to chairs" while most of you can't handle being called a person...

#waaah #i aint tagging shit i dont want them to interact w/ me #(im specifically referring to terms like 'person who menstruates' or 'person with a uterus')#(bc being called a person erases women 🙄)#(sarcasm)#I would say they're just misinterpreting the metaphor but I'm pretty sure it was on purpose anyway...

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

#I don't even know where to begin it's just insanely well-written but also so deeply emotional and wholesome and wonderful #also there's a lady with a were-spider curse tied to her menstrual cycle which gets discussed casually and like #I've never seen menstruation discussed by fictional characters in such a natural and no big deal way it was fucking awesome #but literally everything about every character was so very well-written and presented in such a good way #like I dunno curses as analogies for disabilities and how they don't lessen a person's worth #and how people are still people deserving of love and how difficult self-love and self-acceptance can be #but also how important it is but also how it still sucks to live w/ certain things #and how you can be both angry about something and accepting of it at the same time #but also about how superficial and socially/culturally constructed ideals of beauty and worthiness are and how they're totally fake #and potentially harmful and also how it's possible to work around and against and restructure those ideals #but also it's about princesses (and a couple princes) kicking ass and being cool and also just being human #also I gotta hand it to the author for having a lady who totally enjoys sleeping around and isn't shamed for it whatsoever #there's also a character who's basically aroace and despite two men falling in love with her like #as soon as they find out she's not interested in relationships they back off and respect that and still treat her as a friend #and I dunno that's just neat #like it's satirical fantasy that deconstructs so many different fairytale tropes but it's also so genuine and sincere #that it somehow circles back to embody the heart of a fairytale in all the best ways possible #anyhow it's absolutely worth a read #oracle of lore

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.

#purrs #menstruation tw #idk. like maybe.. when i hwbe my period… as long as im living in a place where i don’t have access to pain meds (and even once i am i think #it’s goi my to take a lot for me to take them bc i am scared of them thanks to all the things my parents have said about them over the years #😻👍 so i will need to work up to / out of that)… i should be easy on myself when i have my period and am dealing w cramps bc you can’t predic #predict when they come and the heating pad only does so much. and yeah im the only person in the office who gets periods rn but that doesn’t #mean i should rough it out and suffer bc i don’t want to miss anything like if i have the option to work et home for a day when i need to i #should take it even if im not at like a level 8-10 pain wise when i make that call bc i very well could be a couple hours from that point.#i feel lkke im not articulating myself well bc im lightheaded from exhaustion and bad sleep and also my ut*rus trying to strangle me. but #yeah i think. maybe i will work from home today and just have a very easy day. but i feel terrible about it. lol

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

#personal #i am sorry i can't stop thinking about this #the whole time they were using SALT WATER to test the absorbency of period products?? and that's why so many of them leak or overflow #and NOT because that many people who menstruate actually have heavy bleeding?#the pads just....didn't work?#BECAUSE THEY WERE TESTING THEM WITH SALT WATER I CAN'T-#[deep breath]#*high pitched screaming*

guys im curious do u track your periods or just guess when they might come? like do yall use apps or use a calender or something? open to all genders & body types of course! (just to be sure i want to mention this includes trans men, trans women, nonbinary, intersex, etc btw!)

#madds.txt #i know this came out of nowhere but i randomly thought of it #and im asking because I don't track my period like at all. i guess by trying to remember when I last had it #but my period has always been irregular so I don't bother trying to figure out the exact week it will happen or whatever #also im angry about it. like i didnt ask for the damn menstruation cycle and now you want me to measure the damn thing. what the hell!#just my personal feelings #ive talked to some people who say they track it and stuff #its probably the healthier thing to do tbh!!#and then you can be better prepared!!#i just try to have like ibuprofen and pads on me at all times #i read that trans women get periods too because they get cramps and tummy issues and stuff I think. what estrogen does to a mf

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.

#transmasc #trans #mlm #the men in menstruation is for all the transmen whos dicks have exploded #stay strong fellow kings #may your dicks not explode for too long and may your dicks grow larger with each passing months #does this count as nsfw??#i personally dont think so but eh whatever

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

#seriously bras aren’t even working. not that I have many to spare #personal #kt tape on gauze is my poor man’s nipple pasty #people who menstruate #period pain #kinesiology tape
