AITA for telling my trans coworker she doesn’t really understand me?

Me 26F, my coworker 29MTF let call her jessica, to make this short i was at work during my period and i was complaining to the girls about my cramps and how awful they were.

Jessica interrupted me saying “ girl i understand your pain, did you take paracetamol?”, i got mad to be honest given that she already know i went to the ER once to take morphine due to my period cramps > and i felt she reduct how awful my pain was.

I told her no you don’t, because you don’t have a uteruss that shed every month nor ovariess to cause a sudden change in your hormone levels.

She got mad and told me that i’m an AS for hurting her and she was just trying to help.

>So many comments saying nta, and that he can't know and it's okay for her to be upset but she could have been nicer and should apologize for hurting his feelings :marseyeyeroll: "You could have been nicer" is the last line of defense when men are forced to concede the argument to women.

There's plenty of things she can absolutely experience that can be considered feminine or part of womanhood given that she is female. Trans women may not be able to menstruate but they still get all the same other PMS and period symptoms that cis women get. Bloating, cramping, period poops, wonky moods, hormone swings.... All of it.

Not at all, no. The chemical cocktail youre pumping yourself with has nothing in common with a woman's hormone cycle. It's not even close to a hormonal cycle, so I'm not shocked that it will make you feel sick. The height of gaslighting and misogyny is this made-up TiM fantasy. It's also the simplest thing to argue against. Following hysterectomies and placement on estrogen replacement treatment, hundreds of thousands (maybe even millions?) of women do not continue to experience period discomfort and symptoms. Why? because they have no uterus! This alone shows how every single TiM who has ever claimed to have a "period" is lying and shows how it's just a messed up lie based on a fetishstic desire.

>The transwoman commenting says it would also be completely inappropriate for a ciswoman "who never experienced a period" to say this to her also. What does that even mean, do you know what a ciswoman whose never experienced a period is? Yeah, I thought so.

:marseyjanny:Looks like the mods weren't happy with people siding with the woman and jannied the post. :marseyjanny2:

Transwomen are literal women that get literal periods. I'm glad they ban anyone who says otherwise :marseyagree:

I briefly considered a business where I would put a concoction like that into mini Freeze Pop tubes and sell it to :marseytrain2:s so they could freeze it and then shove it up their bussies to get that real period leak feel for a bit. The working name is Bussy Pops, but I'd call it something cute and valid like "FemiFlo" or "Ouch My Uterus."

ESH. obligatory trans person here: what jessica said could definitely be seen as demeaning to your struggles (while i’ve never been hospitalized for my cramps, i do have to have prescribed pain medication and i STILL have to miss anywhere between 1-5 days of classes/work from the inability to move cause of them). that being said, there was absolutely no need to go at her darn throat and rub in her face how she doesn’t have the right parts, for lack of better phrasing. as someone else stated, estrogen does still cause pain in the body even if it’s not causing a period (i am absolutely clueless on this information given that i don’t take estrogen so i’ll leave that one up to those who DO know). you could have pulled her aside and expressed that you felt her comment to be dismissive of your menstrual struggles and dealt with it privately. instead, you reinforced the harmful idea that she’s “not a real woman” and will “never understand female struggles”. while yeah, she probably won’t ever have a period, that doesn’t mean you need to point it out as this likely makes her feel bad about her self. i’d suggest pulling her aside and apologizing for how you made her feel and express how you got to that point so you two can have a discussion about the problems that led to this incident and hopefully not have anything like it occur again, and maybe you’ll both have a better understanding of each other at the end.

might want to get that checked out sweaty or... don't inject artificial hormones lol

When a society is this deluded about such a basic foundation of biology, it is a sign it is dying and in denial about being terminal.

I’m being glum and unfunny lately because I’m gay.

YTA. If a trans woman tells you something you sit down and listen.
