@coned's comment on 'Arguments occur in esteemed educational subreddit when women (male) step in to stop the misinformation that you need a uterus to get a period.'

This brave soul started out trying to educate, but was slammed with transphobia and biased uterus-centric rhetoric.

Well, trans women actually can have periods! Just none of the bleeding and such.

Edit: Why are people downvoting me? I'm right. This is a quote from https://medicalnewstoday.com/articles/can-trans-women-get-periods#possibility "Therefore, while transgender women will not experience the bleeding part of the menstrual cycle, they can experience other PMDD-like symptoms, such as sore breasts, rapid mood shifts, and irritability."

Edit: these replies reek of subtle transphobia.

And can I say how happy I am that the mods were hard at work removing transphobic information like the comment below?

period cramps are cramps of the uterus specifically though, how can you have period cramps if you don't have that organ? otherwise that's basically saying that all stomach cramps are period cramps

What’s sad is that even when the experts decide to bend a little and let uterus-havers think that periods and menstruation aren’t the same thing, people still get upset!

Trans women can get periods! Just not menstruation.

But period cramps happen to all smooth muscles, which includes the intestines, which is why period poops are a thing, and trans women on HRT absolutely can get these.
