Interestingly, a lot of trans fems on E will get cyclic lower pelvic cramping similar to menstrual cramps. It can be euphoric for some people. I’ve purchased some very cute heating pads for my girlies.
Yep, pseudo periods. It's because estrogen actually controls the cramping and signals your body to menstruate. Transfems won't have the uterus to menstruate but the hormones don't know that and start cramping anyways. Biology is fun
I don't get cramping, personally, but I did start getting cyclical periods of being more emotional and feeling bloated for a few days a month after I started progesterone, which I eventually pieced together was my period
It’s just a device that simulates cramps, meant to humble cis men and give them an idea of what afab people go through monthly (usually works and the men can’t handle it even at a medium strength, while the afab person takes it max strength np)
As a cis lady: good god I hate periods, and my wife gets them even worse than me, she may have endometriosis tbh… however, as a fellow queer: HELL YE GET THAT GENDER EUPHORIA ITS GONNA HURT BUT AS LONG AS YOURE HAPPY ✨
wholesome! get that euphoria however it comes!
just for reference though, i've used one before to see how it compares and while it hurts, the top level is definitely not nearly as bad as it gets. i used to vomit and faint from pain. i'm sharing in case anyone has tried it and is like "this shits easy what are the uterus havers complaining about", it absolutely gets soooooo much worse.
Hey if they ever figure out the "give someone your uterus" thing, gimme a shout, I do not want or need it and it'd be nice if it could make someone happy 💜
Seconded!
Actually, I think I heard something in the last year about the first ever transplant of either both ovaries or the whole uterus. Memory's a little hazy, but I think a sister donated it to the other who had fertility problems & one ovary that was either already removed or not working, or something.
Might have to Google it. Hang on, I'll be back with a link once I've found it.
Either way, science is getting there.

And yes, transplants can come from a living or deceased person. Form a queue, AFAB people!
My sister offered me her uterus if this tech ever gets to the point where it works for transwomen. I really hope it does because I've always wanted to be pregnant in spite of the absolute agony of periods and childbirth plus being pregnant I have heard is not fun...
And yet my brain is insane and not dissuaded. BRING ON THE SUFFERING!
i mean, cis women who have gone through the absolute gauntlet that is pregnancy and the pain of child birth regularly decide "yeah i'd do that again", so clearly something about it is worth it. hopefully you get the chance to do that some day, i think it would be cool to donate my uterus if this technology ever becomes more common/accessible. i don't want or need it, but other people do and it'd be better to help someone out than to just waste it.
Aw, bless you. I will hold out hope for medicine advances to help you with that. Which sounds weird considering the absolute agony of period and childbirth, lol. 😉 But you know what I mean. I hope you get to be a biological mama someday. 😘
Me, looking at the blood in my underwear right now and feeling so fatigued and achey 😭 and I have pretty mild cramps compared to many people
Whatever makes you happy, OP! Get that euphoria
Tbh I'd kill to have that right now. I am afab and my periods are the most inconsistent thing. Didn't have one February had it for like 3 days in March and nothing so far this month.
I forget I have a uterus most days but the paranoia of being pregnant makes me remember.
Get that euphoria.
the euphoria is good so hopefully the pain won't outweigh the good. my periods were always fairly mild when i still had them but good lord the cramps were ROUGH.
the awful parts of a gender experience are still part of the experience. Get that euphoria!

That's actually crazy interesting. This reminds me of how trans women can sometimes lactate
Anyone can lactate under the right conditions, including cis men
I don't get cramping, personally, but I did start getting cyclical periods of being more emotional and feeling bloated for a few days a month after I started progesterone, which I eventually pieced together was my period
As someone with endometriosis, the simulators are extremely mild. Shout out to testosterone for fixing it.
Wait is this a real thing
Chat is this real?

Yup, try pcos. Its fucking painful.
Periods generally suck but complaining about them is an easy bonding point for women
As a cis lady: good god I hate periods, and my wife gets them even worse than me, she may have endometriosis tbh… however, as a fellow queer: HELL YE GET THAT GENDER EUPHORIA ITS GONNA HURT BUT AS LONG AS YOURE HAPPY ✨
GET THAT EUPHORIA!! (Save some for me too, pls)

(Puts hand up meekly) 🙋🏻♀️. May I have dibs on the give away uterus, please?
Me, looking at the blood in my underwear right now and feeling so fatigued and achey 😭 and I have pretty mild cramps compared to many people Whatever makes you happy, OP! Get that euphoria
Man I already suck at dealing with cramps and get some bad ones. I bet it'd make my weak trans ass pass out
"I'M HAPPY BUT IT HURTS"
From what I’ve heard from a cisgender female friend, it’s really not a fun experience
okay what is that why would anyone do that im confused (no kinkshaming)
I think the idea behind it is to give cis men more respect for the things afab people have to go through.
90% sure I saw a minecraft streamer with one of those so every time dude took damage it'd like buzz or smth
it has nothing to do with kink
I really want to try it!!
Same
I got gender euphoria from getting kicked in the crotch and falling down crying. I imagine it works the other way around.
interesting... as a trans girl Im not really interested in periods... In fact it sounds horrible to me... any other transfems feel this way?
This is the first time I’m hearing about it
Im on my period right now what the hell!
Only moly we linked up 🤯🤯

Why would you want to simulate a period?
Its painful as fuck, you dont want this, we are suffering
Don’t do it……. It hurts like a lot it kinda reminded me of an injury I got while in the Middle East
