Afab people deffinalty have a thicker layer of fat over their ehole body. Its because of evolution protecting a body for pregnancy. So, I think they got it wrong twice.
A cis friend of mine actually has very consistent periods and they always start on the full moon. The first day of her period is often horrible so she would stay home from school on that first day. One of her male classmates noticed this absence that happened only on the full moon and asked her if she was a werewolf.
You are correct but the word monthly in latin is "menstruam". I knew it wasn't "menos" but I had to look it up, I'm not that cool. That's where "menstrua-tion" comes from too, of course.
we have extremely high amount of iron in our blood. That's why we are good at ironing, but we also need to bleed once a month or it would become too much. Obviously. ThiS IS BASiC BAYolOGIeìopjagè0pòsà
I’ve heard lots of people say “just hold it” talking about periods. And the analogy I like is the “ever had a nosebleed? Yes? Well why didn’t you hold it?”
I know two men in my life who think this, and one of them refuses to believe me that it just freely flows. ‘Women just want bathroom breaks at work/school while men are forced to work!! They should hold it like men!!’ These men have children. Girls. God help them when they get their periods.
To be fair holding in your pee for too long is not healthy...so the men should also have bathroom breaks as needed. I suppose the moral is: we just need better work environments in which we don't need to deny our basic needs for the sake of productivity.
@@jayrose2933 Well the women in their lives need to be educate them. For the men that think women can control their periods and hold it in why, oh why would they think that women would choose to bleed every damn month for 30 to 40 years? Because we love it so much? Think again.
God didn't nerf me by making me trans, but he sure did by making me trans _and_ a biologist. At this rate, I'm gonna die of a stress ulcer or apoplexy before I reach 30. Every time I hear "you're denying science (by being trans)" or "there's a scientific reason that [biggest nonsense since the invention of language]" my blood pressure skyrockets up Mount Everest. "It's basic middle school biology." Yes. Exactly. _Basic._ _Middle School._ As in oversimplified into borderline falsehood or just straight up falsehood.
You and me both. Whenever I hear the "basic biology" shtick my response is along the lines of, "How long has it been since you studied biology? I study it EVERY DAY."
My usual response to "basic biology" is always along the lines of "yeah, just like how you can't take 5 away from 3" or something along those lines. The amount of sarcasm or false earnestness varies based on what will stop them cold faster
I'm a biotechnician, I've studied hundreds of credits in biology, technology etc, and I often answer these people with "If biology really is that simple, what do you think I did for all those years at university?"

@@ria3141 It is, in the sens that the menopause one says that if you're vegan, you will continue to get your period, while the other one says that if you go vegan your period will stop (presented as a good thing). Neither make any sense tho
I had a hysterectomy 14 weeks ago. The amout of grown women that have asked the following, is genuinely concerning. - can you still have s** - do you still have a vag*** - do you still have a period - can you get pregnant - do you still pee - are you immune to std's now Unbelievable 😲😂
A few weeks after my hysterectomy, I was talking to a woman who asked me how I was dealing with menopause/if I was taking hormone replacement. I responded that the Dr only had to take one of my ovaries so (being in my mid 30's) I wasn't actually experiencing the hormonal changes of menopause. She was so confused and was like, "So you still get your period?" No matter how I tried to explain it, she could not wrap her head around the idea that my hormones could still cycle like normal, but with no bleeding.
Some rando on the internet: You can't bleed anywhere else while on your period. Me as a teen having massive nosebleeds while on my period: Are you sure about that?
I've always had problems with massive nosebleeds, and once I was having a huge one during a particularly heavy period. I remember leaning over the toilet and thinking to myself "how much blood can I lose from both ends before I should actually start to worry?" 😅
Me making jokes about how I bled 3 time, one was a nose bleed, one was a scrapped knee and the other was my period: this is absolutely true, I have period I no bleed
I think the "push it out" one could be about periods, once had a teacher tell me to just 'get rid of it all" during break so that I didn't have to interrupt his class 😅
@@acidsupernova oh one hundred percent, it is technically possible but it's not something that we can control and it's very painful. Sometimes it can clot up to the point that your body ends up having to push out the entire lining in a few, or even 1 piece instead of bleeding over the course of the few days
@@Ghostie03 Holy cow that's a horrifying image you just gave me. That does indeed sound painful! In my visualization, I was thinking more that the lining could, I guess, liquefy at once and pour through. But yeah, a big clotted mess trying to get through an undilated cervix sounds excruciating!
@@acidsupernova You just can't make this thing good. Why the fuck did we have to be monkeys!? (literally like one of the 3 animals that menstruate (like we do) smh) 😭
It would be nice to be a werewolf instead of having a period. That would mean intense pain and mood swings before waking up in a pool of blood on only one night a month instead of five.
2:49 this idea actually stems from an inaccurate idea of women's anatomy from the middle ages. It was believed that periods were a manifestation of women's sins for being women (?). It was common for people to make women bleed before periods because they thought it would relieve the 'sins'. Their periods was apparently a sign of the devil, and if they bled, the evil was 'purged' from them. This was further propagated by nuns who no longer got periods because they would fast to 'repent', and their body couldn't afford to get periods when their body was starving. But of course the church was like, 'hey, this totally means periods are a sign that women are evil, and only if they repent to god that they are forgiven!' Isn't it boggling that women were so objectified yet feared in the same breath? Wowsers! Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
And considering how common it was to have many children (due to high infant mortality rate and no birth control) I can see how being constantly pregnant could give one the impression that periods aren't a regular thing.
My guess with the church aspect is they also assumed that periods were from because of the Adam/Eve tale, how once Eve commits the first sin she and all women after are cursed to have painful childbirths, and I guess they lump periods in along with that? Again, only a guess
Not sure how accurate is your comment. But people in middle ages had poor understanding of how human body works in general. A lot of ailments were explained by imbalance in bodily fluids and they were pretty obsessed with that and how it can be relieved. Such a theories would likely have something to do with that.
The periods at school thing reminds me of the mentality of that one woman who tried to get deer crossing signs moved to a place where the deer would be more safe.
*this happens to 11 year old girl that has seen what that man said* Parent: "no, that's not how that works you need to go to the hospital, look you're bleeding!" "no reddit man is always right"

“Women are werewolves: confirmed” Me, a trans guy that everyone calls vampire bc i’m extremely pale, sleep all day and stay awake all night: now everything makes sense edit: omfg, i’ve never thought this would get so many likes. tysfmmm
I'm also called a vampire for the above reasons but they also call me a werewolf because when someone hurts my friends my happy-go-lucky personality disappears and is replaced by a beast. So... Hybrid?
"Women are Werewolves" That would be so cool ngl, like, being a werewolf. Though we may or may not have guys telling us to "Maul me to a pulp by instinct scary big booba Mommy!"
period advice for those who are new (from someone who actually has their period) keep in mind that some of these may seem obvious to you, but not to others 1. always keep a pad, tampon, or other absorbing period product on hand (in your purse, backpack, or something else you carry around a lot) toilet paper works but only for a short period of time 2. when you are on your period and you go to the bathroom, always bring your period products, even if you just changed your pad Don’t make the mistake of having a pad that’s too full (it gets itchy) 3. Certain pain killers may work for some peoples cramps and not for others, and some might not have any pain killers that work (I’m so sorry if that’s you) but if you do find pain killers that work, bring them with you everywhere and eat food with them because it can hurt your stomach otherwise, if you are a minor, make sure your parents approve it hope this helps! sorry for the longness
To clarify your 1., this means even when you aren't on your period, even when you don't expect your period for a while. The human body will find ways to mess with you. Certain stressors sometimes will alter your cycle just enough to ruin your day if you don't have a way to deal with unexpected flow. Also, if you don't like disposable products, remember to look into menstrual cups. They're not as nice to use while you're away from home, but they're still far more reliable in my experience than pads or tampons. You have to find one that fits you properly, but once you do, and you get used to inserting and removing it, you will have almost no leakage at all, and can use it for typically up to 8 hours at a time! If you plan right, you can avoid having to empty your cup while away from your own bathroom most of the time. This does depend on your own personal size and flow rate, though.
#4 If the pain is debilitating, talk to you doctor. There may be prescription medications that help or you might be suffering from an underlying disorder, ie pcos, fibroids, etc.
You can also get reusable pads and period underwear. Simply rinse them out before washing properly at a low temperature. Yes they’re more costly at the beginning but they last for ages and are way better for the environment, so save you money in the long run. I use WUKA and find them WAY comfier than disposable pads. I also found my period symptoms to be less and my period to be slightly shorter (but I have very weird period symptoms so uh that one might just be me).
The title reminded me of a conversation I had today... One dude was going "there are only 2 gender, science says so and society based of majority" (last part was added when I pointed out that science if fact, does not say that) and one of his points was "so if I say I'm a werewolf, does that make me one?". At this point, I would like to point out that I watch too much Click because my answer was "No, that makes you a furry" and he was so insulted 😂 then he went of to say how the condition where you have super hairy arms is called lycanthropy. I barely wheezed out "So you're literally *furry*" 😂 I was laughing too hard to argue when he was going "no, being a furry means something completely else"
Omg I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But on more serious note, lycanthropy is a rare mental condition where a person believes they turned into a Wolf and behave like one. Hypertrichosis is excessive growth of body hair all over person's body. Both of these conditions are sometimes called "werewolf disease", but they are not the same.
For real??? That's so cool! I have PCOS and a bunch of other random health conditions, and I can barely estimate what MONTH damned Aunt Flo will decide to show up.
1:22 i live in the States and my school is very progressive (the joys of private school). theres gender neautral bathrooms that can fit multiple people and theres free tampons and pads stored under the sink in all of the bathrooms... why cant everywhere be like this??????

You are beautiful inside and outside. Your scars don't make you ugly. They're the proof that you're strong, that you've been through bad things but you've made it.

If you feel like changing something, do it because you wanna do it, not because someone else wants you to do it. And never doubt yourself because you are stronger than you think.
😲HII PRICKLY CACTUS! I’ve only seen you in Logu/Twigu and TheQueerKiwi’s channel before, I didn’t know you were on Jamie’s too! Wait don’t tell me big time nerd is here too… (I’m assuming you know them Bc of the other channels)
There was one teacher when I was in school, a coach, who taught world history. I liked him. His class was easy, and as long as you weren’t acting a fool, he was really chill. My favorite part about him though was that he wasn’t a stickler about the bathroom; he rarely told us to wait and even more rarely told us no. One day, on my period, I asked to go to the bathroom during notes/lecture. He asked me to wait until it was over so I sat back down. I wait a couple of minutes and then get back up, still during notes, this time he said yes. I guess he realized it was serious even if he didn’t have the specifics. Another day, this girl asked to go to the bathroom and he asked her to wait so she yelled out about being on her period. He started laughing about how he didn’t need to know that and dismissed her to the bathroom. All the guys, including the teacher, found the situation kind of awkward but ultimately just funny, and it was never really mentioned again. 10/10 teacher right there
Does this inferentially mean that when transmen/nonbinary or other gendered individuals transition and don't get a period any longer they've found a cure from lycanthropy (being werewolves)?! Because if so that is front page news worthy. And also does it mean that werewolf men now menstruate in order to sync up with all the others who have a period for the full moon? How else would they know to turn at the same time? There is so much research to be done.
3:18 Yep, as a genderfluid, my skin changes from 3 layers, to 2 layers. When I might be feeling non-binary or agender, it changes to a random number of layers. *Edit: Changed the timestamp to fit better*
I have heard that women tend to run colder than men, which has led people to say that air conditioning is sexist. I don’t know how true that is, though I have a feeling it has nothing to do with having one less layer of skin.
I actually looked into this cause I was born female and am always cold but my cousin always complains he's hot. So a possible explanation I found for why women on average tend to be colder than men is because women have so much blood flowing to the reproductive organs, keeping those organs warm and fully functioning, that is draws blood away from the extremeties, concentrating it close to that area of the body. Take this with a grain of salt cause it's been a while since I looked this up but that's what I found and it makes a lot of sense to me. I mean if you're growing a new human inside you then you'll have to keep that new human warm consistently so it can grow properly and it needs a lot of nutrient rich blood to grow and form. Keeping the blood close to your core and reproductive organs means it can keep the temperature more consistent in those places and it's readily available for a developing fetus (Idk how to spell fetus). And I mean if a good chunk of your blood is in your core and away from your extremeties then you're going to feel cold more often
the "air conditioning ia sexist" claim does have some merit to it. back when air conditioning started to get widely used in public buildings, it was mostly men controlling the temperature because mostly men worked while women were expected to stay at home. now that there are a lot more women in the workforce, the expectations for air conditioning haven't changed. women (or people with lower testosterone levels) tend to run colder, so they want the room's temperature to be higher, while men (or people with higher testosterone levels) run warmer, so they want the room to be cooler. this is why a lot of women complain that the buildings they're in are too cold, it's because the "perfect room temperature" was picked by a man.
Humans generally vary within the same ranges of body temperature, it's just the patterns of warmth can be different across genders, with heat being more evenly distributed in men whereas women tend towards having a warmer torso but colder limbs. This does vary strongly from person to person depending on personal details such as genetics and area of upbringing though, but it's a likely explanation for the classic "women with cold feet/hands" thing.
I don't know much about women's periods, and I don't blame myself. Growing up, when we were going through sex ed, we were segregated by gender, and taught different things. Boys weren't taught about periods, because "You aren't going to bleed from your vagina." And it only got worse growing up, because in the absence of a trustworthy source, I had to do my own work to sort information from misinformation. And when you're young and lack reliable sources, and misinformation comes from sources that should be trustworthy, that can be a really difficult task (To be clear, by the way, I grew up before the internet was a big thing. I still remember getting access to it in the late 90s, it felt like I was in the cool sci fi future.) If we want men to be knowledgeable about women's anatomy and experience, it behooves us to teach them. Ensure that the information taught in sex ed isn't separated by gender, and that the information taught to both boys and girls includes not just information about themselves, but about eachother. And yeah, maybe you have to separate the actual students, I was there and can easily imagine that, but don't separate the information. So many misunderstandings could be avoided this way. A bit less comedy content for your channel, I imagine, but I think it would be worth it in the long run.
I don't know where you went to school but in Finland we had all of the children attend the same sex ed class with the same information. Also this was during the early 2010s for me
Where I grew up, this lesson series was repeated 4 times in 4th, 5th, 6th, and 9th grades with 9th combined and the others separated. It was 1 hour a day each day for a week. The first year? Please keep the information specific to what the kids need to know for their own bodies. It's a lot to take in at first if parents haven't explained. Give them a chance to process. Every year after should extend all reproductive education.
As an adult, you have the ability to educate yourself about anything you wish to know. You can't blame the education system for your choice to remain ignorant as an adult.
@@Prismatic_Truth Horseshit! There's so much misinformation flying around that I don't feel like I can trust ANY of it. Case in point, THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN VIDEO!
It’s truly amazing that women can’t bleed when on their period. I once saw a woman get her arm torn off and she was fine because there wasn’t any blood loss. Well she was fine before the second bear showed up.
I think the “men” part in menopause is tied to the “men” part of menstruation; in that they both come from the Latin word mensis, meaning monthly. Maybe perhaps, don’t quote me on this
i kind of love the last one bc this guy finds out his wife is trans and the only thing he has to comment on is "well that explains why she sucks at ironing" like ? thats kind of sweet in an old-timey thinking way
Menopause happens when we run low on eggs in our ovaries (we are born with all we ever have). Even if the Fallopian tubes did get clogged with animal products it wouldn’t have any effect.
Yeah, people who've had ovary-sparing hysterectomies continue to ovulate, and only stop menstruating because the uterus isn't there to respond to hormone cycles any more, and people who've had tubal ligations continue to ovulate and menstruate, so blocked fallopian tubes would make no difference except to fertility.
Re: vegan menopause. I *think* this idea stems from the use of soy to reduce hot flashes. Long term, daily soy consumption is known to reduce the proteins that relate to hot flashes (science backs this up). If the person thought that hot flash = menopause I could see how they draw their (very wrong) conclusion. Sorry if others have pointed this out already, I scanned the comments and didn't see it.
'Have it cold' probably came from an incorrect translation from Dutch. It just means 'are cold'. And on a side note, it is true that the ideal room temperature for women (on average) is higher than the ideal room temperature for men (on average), but obviously that doesn't have anything to do with extra layers of skin lol.
2:39 I mean technically if you're so violently anemic due to heavy, multi-week bleeding, there is a point where this may become true, but there are far bigger issues by that point which would definitely not be considered 'lucky'
Idk, what do you mean by violently anemic. I use to be very anemic because I was a cutter. So bleeding from my wrists and stuff still happened even while on my period. But I would faint and my bruises were the sizes of soft balls even just bump from hitting the corner of something in accident. I was always violently cold and pale, kinda greenish tint under my eyes but I always bled.
8:21 I like to imagine for the sake of comedy that the wife in this story isn’t a trans woman, but a cis man, and the husband has just been *really* unobservant
Before I got my period (and when i still identified as female), I thought everyone got their periods in the full moon. Turns out when I heard people talking about how periods happen about every 28 days like the cycle of the moon, I thought that meant it was at the same time of the full moon… I was very surprised when I found out that was incorrect.
3:32 "The ideal temperature for women is 22 to 24 degrees celsius." Me, a woman, who seriously considers moving to the arctic because anything above 15 degrees celsius makes me want to melt : Guess I'll just burn then.
Me, a cis woman with an autonomic nervous system dysfunction where my body cannot regulate temperature correctly so I start suffering heat exhaustion at about 22oC: um... guess I'll just die now to save y'all the trouble? Bummer that I'll probably get a nosebleed and start vomiting before I die. That'll probably leave a bit of a mess.

The skin bit is nonsense, but the temperature bit of that comment is true. It can be argued that women's fashion is the issue, as in office attire for women often includes skirts and tights and a blouse, not a full suit, which would be warmer. But if I remember correctly, women in general tend to be colder sooner than men, and the temperature chosen in work spaces is often calibrated to the comfort of men rather than women. It's one of those things where women aren't considered when deciding the average etc.
I think I read that testosterone makes people run slightly hotter? I believe I read a piece from a trans guy who found he was generally warmer after starting T and a lot of people agreed in the comments. I can’t remember if the piece was scientifically backed up or if it was just that person’s experience but it was interesting.
See, women get colder faster because their body focuses on heating their core/stomach region for possible babies and reproductive organs and their extremities are left getting cold faster... It's just that the body is focusing on one part and doesn't do efficient heating for the feet and hands....
On the subject of "women get cold faster than men" it's not 100% false, but it's because testosterone (producted or injected, your body doesn't care) induce muscular growth, and while doing nothing muscles produce more energy (and therefore more heat) than other tissus do. Long story short : more testosterone -> more muscles -> more heat (If course this is reductive, but having higher testosterone mâle it easier to develop muscles and that's what I'm trying to explain)

Hey there! I would love to hear your opinion on the manual that was recently introduced to schools in India to sensitize students and teachers on LGBTQ+ rights and issues, but removed a few days later when a far-right person said that it was going to "traumatise children." I haven't heard many people talking about it and feel strongly about this issue as it happened in my own country.
Arrgh. So tired of the "think of the children!" argument. Hadn't heard about the India case but this kind of thing happens in US school districts all the time. But kids generally are not confused at all if you explain simply. Actual example. I was watching Dr. Who with my step-niece and nephew, specifically 'The Shakespeare Code'. Shakespeare is being a bit flirty with Martha, the Doctor's traveling companion. Doctor: "Come on! We can flirt later." Shakespeare (turning flirty look on David Tennant, arguably cutest of the Doctor's incarnations): "Is that a promise, Doctor?" Doctor: "Oh...57 academics just punched the air." Niece: "What does that mean?" Me (pausing video and wondering if I'm about to get myself in trouble): "Well, there are a lot of Shakespeare scholars who think he liked girls AND boys. And if they saw him flirting with both Martha and the Doctor they'd be like 'yes!' because they were right." Her: "Oh, OK." End of conversation.
I hate the last article they show because it portrays it as if he divorced her because she was trans when really, if you read it, there’s a total of about two sentences near the bottom that say the actual reason was that she cheated on him. But then in the end they drop that and talk about the trans part again. It was purposely made to be transphobic and mostly ignore the real problem.
The really funny thing to me about the idea that you can’t bleed elsewhere when on your period is that for some reason I ALWAYS get nosebleeds when I’m on mine.
I think it's so funny the fact that you posted this, after I sent my friend an audio recording of a conversation I had with my uncle (who is a homophobic, misogynistic, man with a fragile masculinity) I think today was just meant to be a day to laugh at people's ignorance xd
THIS IS JUST TOOOOO GOOD! Shaaba's laugh at the "eyes and similarly spaced breasts" one is just FANTASTIC 😂 The way you see her trying to work it out and then it clicking - I legit had to go back and rewatch that one just for her reaction! 💚
7:50 I just realized... If this was actually a real thing, all the toilets/sewers would have blood in them. All the garbages and dumps & things would receive more blood at the same time. It would probably be a time where m/rder would be easier to get away with and/or more common bc it would be a common time for blood to be seen. Also, there would definitely be awesome parties and sh/t every full moon( almost like some kind of ritual[ bc it kind of would be]). I think that sounds really cool. (The part about the parties, not the m/rder)
Just imagine a bunch of women getting together to have a party (and imagine women getting the week off or something & it's just a natural thing to get the week off & have fun with ur friends) (idk how safe this world would be for trans people[ especially since our normal world isn't exactly the safest place for trans people], but hopefully something could be worked out so that they'd have the week off too, or *everyone* could have the week off [since having trans people have the week off could alienate and endanger them by outting them]) Just imagine a world where everyone gets a week off every full moon. That'd be so f/cking cool.
"Menopause" because the menses stop, "menses" from the Greek word for monthly flow "emenorrhoea", derived from the words "menas"/month and "rhoe"/flow. Yeah, I'm fun at parties...
When I was growing up my dad didn't believe in severe ear aches. I got them a lot as a child and my mom had to take me to the hospital multiple times. My eardrums ruptured once, and I was in a lot of pain, but he still didn't believe me or my mother. He told me to sleep the "pain" off. Anyway, nearly 15 years later he finally got an ear infection so bad he couldn't function at all. My mom and I had no sympathy for him at all.
3:08 The way I see it, this is referring to one of two things: Either it's a dig at women typically feeling cold in offices, or it's a completely false explanation of why women typically have cold hands/feet. Whatever the case, it's just wrong. For the first option, women are typically cold in office buildings because men are typically restricted into wearing suits, ties, and/or long sleeves and pants (thus necessitating the A/C to be set lower for men's comfort; because that's somehow a better solution than not being so strict on male dress codes in offices...). For the second option, cis women typically conserve their body temperature a lot quicker and more drastically than cis men, owing to the whole 'uterus/baby-making' stuff; it's about preventing hypothermia for species preservation. But no, unless someone has butterfly skin disease or something similar, everyone has roughly the same amount of dermal and epidermal layers on any given patch of skin. Just remember, certain areas naturally have more layers than others, like the bottoms of our feet.
On the last one, it could also be the newspaper being horrible and the husband being fine. It's the newspaper making the title. And "Now I know why she's bad at ironing" could be an awkward attempt at a humorous response in response to a bad question like "How does this change your perception of your years together?"
The menopause thing- Jamie's face makes it seem like he had the same thought I did- "If this is a smug middle aged woman posting this, she is in for a RUDE awakening."
am i trans or am i just thinking? I have dysphoria and stuff but i started to question my gender around half a year ago. i keep telling myself that it's a phase and it's a trend and i'm just faking it to myself because i got the feeling of being trans so quick. i hate that i don't know whats wrong with me
Hey,it’s ok to start feeling that way all of a sudden,sometimes external triggers wake up smth inside of ya & out of the blue you start questioning your gender,& that’s completely valid! Plus,throughout your life & different period of it,it is normal to change label/s or start questioning again! I hope that you’ll soon find a way to manage both the dysphoria & this sense of invalidation,wish you the best!!

A cis friend of mine actually has very consistent periods and they always start on the full moon. The first day of her period is often horrible so she would stay home from school on that first day.

Fun fact: Menopause comes from the words “menos” meaning monthly and “pause” meaning to stop or cease. It literally means the end of monthly cycles.
Wait thats cool
Oh that’s really helpful, thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Damn that's cool
You are correct but the word monthly in latin is "menstruam". I knew it wasn't "menos" but I had to look it up, I'm not that cool. That's where "menstrua-tion" comes from too, of course.
@@Am3lia77 It's a Greek word actually, "menos" = μήνας, which means month (menopause=εμμηνόπαυση)

I’ve heard lots of people say “just hold it” talking about periods. And the analogy I like is the “ever had a nosebleed? Yes? Well why didn’t you hold it?”
I know two men in my life who think this, and one of them refuses to believe me that it just freely flows. ‘Women just want bathroom breaks at work/school while men are forced to work!! They should hold it like men!!’ These men have children. Girls. God help them when they get their periods.
To be fair holding in your pee for too long is not healthy...so the men should also have bathroom breaks as needed. I suppose the moral is: we just need better work environments in which we don't need to deny our basic needs for the sake of productivity.
What if they are bleeding from their dicks and have somehow made it this far without going to hospital?
@@jayrose2933 Well the women in their lives need to be educate them. For the men that think women can control their periods and hold it in why, oh why would they think that women would choose to bleed every damn month for 30 to 40 years? Because we love it so much? Think again.

A few weeks after my hysterectomy, I was talking to a woman who asked me how I was dealing with menopause/if I was taking hormone replacement. I responded that the Dr only had to take one of my ovaries so (being in my mid 30's) I wasn't actually experiencing the hormonal changes of menopause. She was so confused and was like, "So you still get your period?" No matter how I tried to explain it, she could not wrap her head around the idea that my hormones could still cycle like normal, but with no bleeding.

@@acidsupernova oh one hundred percent, it is technically possible but it's not something that we can control and it's very painful.

@@Ghostie03 Holy cow that's a horrifying image you just gave me. That does indeed sound painful! In my visualization, I was thinking more that the lining could, I guess, liquefy at once and pour through. But yeah, a big clotted mess trying to get through an undilated cervix sounds excruciating!

This is my favorite comment now XD

2:49 this idea actually stems from an inaccurate idea of women's anatomy from the middle ages.
It was believed that periods were a manifestation of women's sins for being women (?). It was common for people to make women bleed before periods because they thought it would relieve the 'sins'. Their periods was apparently a sign of the devil, and if they bled, the evil was 'purged' from them.
This was further propagated by nuns who no longer got periods because they would fast to 'repent', and their body couldn't afford to get periods when their body was starving. But of course the church was like, 'hey, this totally means periods are a sign that women are evil, and only if they repent to god that they are forgiven!'
Isn't it boggling that women were so objectified yet feared in the same breath? Wowsers!
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
And considering how common it was to have many children (due to high infant mortality rate and no birth control) I can see how being constantly pregnant could give one the impression that periods aren't a regular thing.
@@acidsupernova exactly!!
wtf ??? thats so fucked
My guess with the church aspect is they also assumed that periods were from because of the Adam/Eve tale, how once Eve commits the first sin she and all women after are cursed to have painful childbirths, and I guess they lump periods in along with that? Again, only a guess
Not sure how accurate is your comment. But people in middle ages had poor understanding of how human body works in general. A lot of ailments were explained by imbalance in bodily fluids and they were pretty obsessed with that and how it can be relieved. Such a theories would likely have something to do with that.

period advice for those who are new (from someone who actually has their period)
keep in mind that some of these may seem obvious to you, but not to others
1. always keep a pad, tampon, or other absorbing period product on hand (in your purse, backpack, or something else you carry around a lot)
toilet paper works but only for a short period of time
2. when you are on your period and you go to the bathroom, always bring your period products, even if you just changed your pad
Don’t make the mistake of having a pad that’s too full (it gets itchy)
3. Certain pain killers may work for some peoples cramps and not for others, and some might not have any pain killers that work (I’m so sorry if that’s you) but if you do find pain killers that work, bring them with you everywhere and eat food with them because it can hurt your stomach otherwise, if you are a minor, make sure your parents approve it
hope this helps! sorry for the longness
To clarify your 1., this means even when you aren't on your period, even when you don't expect your period for a while. The human body will find ways to mess with you. Certain stressors sometimes will alter your cycle just enough to ruin your day if you don't have a way to deal with unexpected flow.
Also, if you don't like disposable products, remember to look into menstrual cups. They're not as nice to use while you're away from home, but they're still far more reliable in my experience than pads or tampons. You have to find one that fits you properly, but once you do, and you get used to inserting and removing it, you will have almost no leakage at all, and can use it for typically up to 8 hours at a time! If you plan right, you can avoid having to empty your cup while away from your own bathroom most of the time. This does depend on your own personal size and flow rate, though.
#4 If the pain is debilitating, talk to you doctor. There may be prescription medications that help or you might be suffering from an underlying disorder, ie pcos, fibroids, etc.
You can also get reusable pads and period underwear. Simply rinse them out before washing properly at a low temperature. Yes they’re more costly at the beginning but they last for ages and are way better for the environment, so save you money in the long run.
I use WUKA and find them WAY comfier than disposable pads. I also found my period symptoms to be less and my period to be slightly shorter (but I have very weird period symptoms so uh that one might just be me).
#3 Magnesium can help reducing cramps/pain.
@@seth5229 I love reusable pads! So much cheaper in the long run and way more eco-friendly.
The title reminded me of a conversation I had today... One dude was going "there are only 2 gender, science says so and society based of majority" (last part was added when I pointed out that science if fact, does not say that) and one of his points was "so if I say I'm a werewolf, does that make me one?". At this point, I would like to point out that I watch too much Click because my answer was "No, that makes you a furry" and he was so insulted 😂 then he went of to say how the condition where you have super hairy arms is called lycanthropy. I barely wheezed out "So you're literally *furry*" 😂 I was laughing too hard to argue when he was going "no, being a furry means something completely else"
Daaaaamn this is too funny 😂😂😂
Omg I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But on more serious note, lycanthropy is a rare mental condition where a person believes they turned into a Wolf and behave like one. Hypertrichosis is excessive growth of body hair all over person's body. Both of these conditions are sometimes called "werewolf disease", but they are not the same.

There was one teacher when I was in school, a coach, who taught world history. I liked him. His class was easy, and as long as you weren’t acting a fool, he was really chill. My favorite part about him though was that he wasn’t a stickler about the bathroom; he rarely told us to wait and even more rarely told us no.
One day, on my period, I asked to go to the bathroom during notes/lecture. He asked me to wait until it was over so I sat back down. I wait a couple of minutes and then get back up, still during notes, this time he said yes. I guess he realized it was serious even if he didn’t have the specifics.
Another day, this girl asked to go to the bathroom and he asked her to wait so she yelled out about being on her period. He started laughing about how he didn’t need to know that and dismissed her to the bathroom. All the guys, including the teacher, found the situation kind of awkward but ultimately just funny, and it was never really mentioned again.

Does this inferentially mean that when transmen/nonbinary or other gendered individuals transition and don't get a period any longer they've found a cure from lycanthropy (being werewolves)?! Because if so that is front page news worthy. And also does it mean that werewolf men now menstruate in order to sync up with all the others who have a period for the full moon? How else would they know to turn at the same time? There is so much research to be done.
The period sincronisation Happens in Hamsters and because of Humans longer cycles the data from college dorms was missinterpreted ... otherwise fun
3:18 Yep, as a genderfluid, my skin changes from 3 layers, to 2 layers. When I might be feeling non-binary or agender, it changes to a random number of layers.
*Edit: Changed the timestamp to fit better*
As a genderfae it goes from 2 layers a random number too.
I have heard that women tend to run colder than men, which has led people to say that air conditioning is sexist. I don’t know how true that is, though I have a feeling it has nothing to do with having one less layer of skin.
no it's just that womens average body temperature is a little higher and because of that they feel cold more quickly
I actually looked into this cause I was born female and am always cold but my cousin always complains he's hot. So a possible explanation I found for why women on average tend to be colder than men is because women have so much blood flowing to the reproductive organs, keeping those organs warm and fully functioning, that is draws blood away from the extremeties, concentrating it close to that area of the body. Take this with a grain of salt cause it's been a while since I looked this up but that's what I found and it makes a lot of sense to me. I mean if you're growing a new human inside you then you'll have to keep that new human warm consistently so it can grow properly and it needs a lot of nutrient rich blood to grow and form. Keeping the blood close to your core and reproductive organs means it can keep the temperature more consistent in those places and it's readily available for a developing fetus (Idk how to spell fetus). And I mean if a good chunk of your blood is in your core and away from your extremeties then you're going to feel cold more often
the "air conditioning ia sexist" claim does have some merit to it. back when air conditioning started to get widely used in public buildings, it was mostly men controlling the temperature because mostly men worked while women were expected to stay at home. now that there are a lot more women in the workforce, the expectations for air conditioning haven't changed. women (or people with lower testosterone levels) tend to run colder, so they want the room's temperature to be higher, while men (or people with higher testosterone levels) run warmer, so they want the room to be cooler. this is why a lot of women complain that the buildings they're in are too cold, it's because the "perfect room temperature" was picked by a man.
Humans generally vary within the same ranges of body temperature, it's just the patterns of warmth can be different across genders, with heat being more evenly distributed in men whereas women tend towards having a warmer torso but colder limbs. This does vary strongly from person to person depending on personal details such as genetics and area of upbringing though, but it's a likely explanation for the classic "women with cold feet/hands" thing.
It’s also probably partially because women’s clothes are usually made thinner than men’s and women tend to shave a lot more of their body hair off.
I don't know much about women's periods, and I don't blame myself.
Growing up, when we were going through sex ed, we were segregated by gender, and taught different things. Boys weren't taught about periods, because "You aren't going to bleed from your vagina." And it only got worse growing up, because in the absence of a trustworthy source, I had to do my own work to sort information from misinformation. And when you're young and lack reliable sources, and misinformation comes from sources that should be trustworthy, that can be a really difficult task (To be clear, by the way, I grew up before the internet was a big thing. I still remember getting access to it in the late 90s, it felt like I was in the cool sci fi future.)
If we want men to be knowledgeable about women's anatomy and experience, it behooves us to teach them. Ensure that the information taught in sex ed isn't separated by gender, and that the information taught to both boys and girls includes not just information about themselves, but about eachother.
And yeah, maybe you have to separate the actual students, I was there and can easily imagine that, but don't separate the information. So many misunderstandings could be avoided this way. A bit less comedy content for your channel, I imagine, but I think it would be worth it in the long run.
I don't know where you went to school but in Finland we had all of the children attend the same sex ed class with the same information. Also this was during the early 2010s for me
Where I grew up, this lesson series was repeated 4 times in 4th, 5th, 6th, and 9th grades with 9th combined and the others separated. It was 1 hour a day each day for a week.
The first year? Please keep the information specific to what the kids need to know for their own bodies. It's a lot to take in at first if parents haven't explained. Give them a chance to process.
Every year after should extend all reproductive education.
As an adult, you have the ability to educate yourself about anything you wish to know. You can't blame the education system for your choice to remain ignorant as an adult.

Yeah every time I see that post I picture it as a cute little inside joke the two of them have, not as something horribly sexist
Menopause happens when we run low on eggs in our ovaries (we are born with all we ever have). Even if the Fallopian tubes did get clogged with animal products it wouldn’t have any effect.
Yeah, people who've had ovary-sparing hysterectomies continue to ovulate, and only stop menstruating because the uterus isn't there to respond to hormone cycles any more, and people who've had tubal ligations continue to ovulate and menstruate, so blocked fallopian tubes would make no difference except to fertility.
Re: vegan menopause. I *think* this idea stems from the use of soy to reduce hot flashes. Long term, daily soy consumption is known to reduce the proteins that relate to hot flashes (science backs this up). If the person thought that hot flash = menopause I could see how they draw their (very wrong) conclusion. Sorry if others have pointed this out already, I scanned the comments and didn't see it.
'Have it cold' probably came from an incorrect translation from Dutch. It just means 'are cold'.
And on a side note, it is true that the ideal room temperature for women (on average) is higher than the ideal room temperature for men (on average), but obviously that doesn't have anything to do with extra layers of skin lol.

Yeah has to do with how the skin and blood vessels work, not more or less.
2:39 I mean technically if you're so violently anemic due to heavy, multi-week bleeding, there is a point where this may become true, but there are far bigger issues by that point which would definitely not be considered 'lucky'
Idk, what do you mean by violently anemic. I use to be very anemic because I was a cutter. So bleeding from my wrists and stuff still happened even while on my period. But I would faint and my bruises were the sizes of soft balls even just bump from hitting the corner of something in accident. I was always violently cold and pale, kinda greenish tint under my eyes but I always bled.

Bummer that I'll probably get a nosebleed and start vomiting before I die. That'll probably leave a bit of a mess.
I prefer minus degrees! The heat makes me a complete salt statue!
I was thinking "Wut?! Shouldn't that be about 37 degrees, 22 is hypothermic!" :-)
@@Timoohz Celsius, not Fahrenheit. ;)
@@Rachel-fi4sc 22 degrees F is about -5C, that's frozen, not hypothermic. :-P Took me a second to realize they were not talking about body temperature...
My heart melts when I see Shaaba and Jamie being sweet to each other - legit gives me hope that relationships can be wholesome, loving, supportive, and 100% accepting. 💖💖💖
The skin bit is nonsense, but the temperature bit of that comment is true. It can be argued that women's fashion is the issue, as in office attire for women often includes skirts and tights and a blouse, not a full suit, which would be warmer. But if I remember correctly, women in general tend to be colder sooner than men, and the temperature chosen in work spaces is often calibrated to the comfort of men rather than women. It's one of those things where women aren't considered when deciding the average etc.
I think I read that testosterone makes people run slightly hotter? I believe I read a piece from a trans guy who found he was generally warmer after starting T and a lot of people agreed in the comments. I can’t remember if the piece was scientifically backed up or if it was just that person’s experience but it was interesting.
See, women get colder faster because their body focuses on heating their core/stomach region for possible babies and reproductive organs and their extremities are left getting cold faster...
It's just that the body is focusing on one part and doesn't do efficient heating for the feet and hands....
plus, women tend to have less body hair
But also our fabric is thinner snd wack quality
Also men's skin is actually thicker than women's from what I learned!
On the subject of "women get cold faster than men" it's not 100% false, but it's because testosterone (producted or injected, your body doesn't care) induce muscular growth, and while doing nothing muscles produce more energy (and therefore more heat) than other tissus do.
Long story short : more testosterone -> more muscles -> more heat
(If course this is reductive, but having higher testosterone mâle it easier to develop muscles and that's what I'm trying to explain)
oh shit that explains why i am much less cold this winter after building muscles
plus women's clothes tend to be thinner, and women tend to have a lot less body hair
The degree to which these two mirror each other's movements is truly a testament to how well they get along and why they're great for each other
To that trans woman who sucked at ironing: the husband wasn't exactly a prize.
Well, if this was the most negative of his reactions
What does this say about me? I'm terrible at ironing, hubby is really good at it.
I find it hilarious this man’s focus was on the possible cause of his wife’s perceived shortcomings (as a wife). “Ah, that explains it…”
@@phyllisstein1837 He convicted himself out of his own mouth!
@@phyllisstein1837 it read to me like it was tongue in cheek, like someone annoyed at a tabloid journalist after being badgered for their shock article trying to get him to say scary shit about her and knowing they’ll sensationalize any resistance.
*Journalist tries to prompt something so they can go ‘ew gross look at that thing aren’t you just appalled!’*
replies: “boring ass domestic sterotype joke”
*journalist goes tf away with nothing*
Like they don’t care what the cishet fuckers reading it think, they just want them to go away.
if you pause at 7:44 you can see shaba making the BEST face in the video, and possibly ever
You two are my source of serotonin. I want to have a relationship like the two of you have someday.
Hey there! I would love to hear your opinion on the manual that was recently introduced to schools in India to sensitize students and teachers on LGBTQ+ rights and issues, but removed a few days later when a far-right person said that it was going to "traumatise children." I haven't heard many people talking about it and feel strongly about this issue as it happened in my own country.
Arrgh. So tired of the "think of the children!" argument. Hadn't heard about the India case but this kind of thing happens in US school districts all the time. But kids generally are not confused at all if you explain simply.
Actual example. I was watching Dr. Who with my step-niece and nephew, specifically 'The Shakespeare Code'. Shakespeare is being a bit flirty with Martha, the Doctor's traveling companion.
Doctor: "Come on! We can flirt later."
Shakespeare (turning flirty look on David Tennant, arguably cutest of the Doctor's incarnations): "Is that a promise, Doctor?"
Doctor: "Oh...57 academics just punched the air."
Niece: "What does that mean?"
Me (pausing video and wondering if I'm about to get myself in trouble): "Well, there are a lot of Shakespeare scholars who think he liked girls AND boys. And if they saw him flirting with both Martha and the Doctor they'd be like 'yes!' because they were right."
Her: "Oh, OK."
End of conversation.
@@emilymoran9152 Conservatives don't want awareness because it gives people the words and power to be themselves. It let's them think and express.
I mean, T causes menopause too... and also, can't wait for my hysterectomy (whenever it happens cos it keeps getting rescheduled😤)
Cant wait till you get it. Recovery takes a long while and it hurts like h3ll. No more periods. F'ing paradise.
@@miscalotastuff733 thank you, it just got approved and I'm getting it a few days after Christmas
I’m on my period rn and today I bled from acne
*does this mean I am god herself or some kind of extra terrestrial?*
Shaaba's laugh gives me life
I hate the last article they show because it portrays it as if he divorced her because she was trans when really, if you read it, there’s a total of about two sentences near the bottom that say the actual reason was that she cheated on him. But then in the end they drop that and talk about the trans part again. It was purposely made to be transphobic and mostly ignore the real problem.
4:05 I love how Shaaba simply can't stop laughing, and now I too am curling with laughter
The really funny thing to me about the idea that you can’t bleed elsewhere when on your period is that for some reason I ALWAYS get nosebleeds when I’m on mine.
I think it's so funny the fact that you posted this, after I sent my friend an audio recording of a conversation I had with my uncle (who is a homophobic, misogynistic, man with a fragile masculinity) I think today was just meant to be a day to laugh at people's ignorance xd
Ah, your uncle is a jellyfish: spineless, fragile, and very toxic.
You have my sympathy.
Shaaba's laughter is soooo contageous! Much love to both of you, you are amazing!
The b00b one cracked me up oh my GOD 🤣 I especially love how he phrased it "almost always", just as a little precaution
THIS IS JUST TOOOOO GOOD! Shaaba's laugh at the "eyes and similarly spaced breasts" one is just FANTASTIC 😂 The way you see her trying to work it out and then it clicking - I legit had to go back and rewatch that one just for her reaction! 💚
Actually howling with laughter at these. Yay Shaaba! Thank you both for making my day :)
jamie i recently transed my gender and you helped get me through the realization, tysm
thats so awsome :))) hope everything went well (also i know its an old comment i just wanted to say something because if how cool it is!!)
Congrats!
I'll just be over here, nonchalantly measuring the space between my eyes and breasts with my fingers in the middle of work. Nothing to see here.
4:26 The way Jamie like- holds her to make her feel better honestly has me sobbing, I hope I can have a relationship like that someday.
shaaba is so good at coming up with funny things to say in the moment... she and ashley gavin should actually do some comedy together haha
7:50 I just realized... If this was actually a real thing, all the toilets/sewers would have blood in them. All the garbages and dumps & things would receive more blood at the same time.
It would probably be a time where m/rder would be easier to get away with and/or more common bc it would be a common time for blood to be seen.
Also, there would definitely be awesome parties and sh/t every full moon( almost like some kind of ritual[ bc it kind of would be]).
I think that sounds really cool.
(The part about the parties, not the m/rder)
Just imagine a bunch of women getting together to have a party (and imagine women getting the week off or something & it's just a natural thing to get the week off & have fun with ur friends) (idk how safe this world would be for trans people[ especially since our normal world isn't exactly the safest place for trans people], but hopefully something could be worked out so that they'd have the week off too, or *everyone* could have the week off [since having trans people have the week off could alienate and endanger them by outting them]) Just imagine a world where everyone gets a week off every full moon. That'd be so f/cking cool.
I love Shaaba's full belly laugh. It's so infectious.
These two are literally my relationship goals. They’re just so wholesome and cute, I want this in my life
"Menopause" because the menses stop, "menses" from the Greek word for monthly flow "emenorrhoea", derived from the words "menas"/month and "rhoe"/flow. Yeah, I'm fun at parties...
Good to know, thanks! :)
You'd be super genuinely fun at my parties lol. I love fun facts. ^-^
@@Rachel-fi4sc Awww, thank you :)
4:11 oh my god her small ow was so adorable aaaaaaaaaahhhhh
I love Shaaba's laugh, it's so forceful and positive. I love this
When I was growing up my dad didn't believe in severe ear aches. I got them a lot as a child and my mom had to take me to the hospital multiple times. My eardrums ruptured once, and I was in a lot of pain, but he still didn't believe me or my mother. He told me to sleep the "pain" off.
Anyway, nearly 15 years later he finally got an ear infection so bad he couldn't function at all. My mom and I had no sympathy for him at all.
3:08 The way I see it, this is referring to one of two things: Either it's a dig at women typically feeling cold in offices, or it's a completely false explanation of why women typically have cold hands/feet. Whatever the case, it's just wrong. For the first option, women are typically cold in office buildings because men are typically restricted into wearing suits, ties, and/or long sleeves and pants (thus necessitating the A/C to be set lower for men's comfort; because that's somehow a better solution than not being so strict on male dress codes in offices...). For the second option, cis women typically conserve their body temperature a lot quicker and more drastically than cis men, owing to the whole 'uterus/baby-making' stuff; it's about preventing hypothermia for species preservation.
But no, unless someone has butterfly skin disease or something similar, everyone has roughly the same amount of dermal and epidermal layers on any given patch of skin. Just remember, certain areas naturally have more layers than others, like the bottoms of our feet.
women's clothes also tend to be a lot thinner, testosterone raises your metabolism, and women tend to have a lot less body hair
On the last one, it could also be the newspaper being horrible and the husband being fine. It's the newspaper making the title. And "Now I know why she's bad at ironing" could be an awkward attempt at a humorous response in response to a bad question like "How does this change your perception of your years together?"
I just absolutely love the moments when shaaba just dead stares at the camera and says STH incredibly funny and Jamie just bursts out laughing
The menopause thing- Jamie's face makes it seem like he had the same thought I did-
"If this is a smug middle aged woman posting this, she is in for a RUDE awakening."
am i trans or am i just thinking? I have dysphoria and stuff but i started to question my gender around half a year ago. i keep telling myself that it's a phase and it's a trend and i'm just faking it to myself because i got the feeling of being trans so quick. i hate that i don't know whats wrong with me
Hey,it’s ok to start feeling that way all of a sudden,sometimes external triggers wake up smth inside of ya & out of the blue you start questioning your gender,& that’s completely valid!
Plus,throughout your life & different period of it,it is normal to change label/s or start questioning again!
I hope that you’ll soon find a way to manage both the dysphoria & this sense of invalidation,wish you the best!!
Nimestäsi päätellen kirjoitan suomeksi. Kuinka vanha oot? Jos oot vielä teini-ikäinen niin on ihan normaalia cis-sukupuolisillekin, että tunnet olosi epämukavaksi omassa kehossa, koska siinä on tapahtunut niin paljon muutoksia. Sun ei tarvitse tuntea mitään paineita päättää just nyt, millainen sun sukupuoli-identiteetti on. Jos asia mietityttää niin ota selvää, voitko puhua siitä jollekulle ammattilaiselle koulussa tai terveydenhuollon kautta.
(And in case I misunderstood and you don't speak Finnish, please let me know!)
Nothing is wrong with you 💜
This just shows you how much people need to be educated on this topic
Lmfao I was born a woman and I'm *horrible* at ironing. Being a woman wasn't the only thing I failed at being apparently. (I'm trans I just need to go through my transition)
I don't remember when I subscribed, but I since I did Jamie was reminding me of someone. Today I finally realized, it's David Tennant, especially as he appears in Broadchurch.
Jamie: "I actually had my period at school too"
Me, forgetting key details: "whaaa? Oh yeah, that's how that works - right lol"
“having a period is a superpower!!”
me, an afab person, getting my period, and less than 2 years later being hospitalized to get 3 transfusions due to loosing 3/4 of the blood i need from my freaking period. (im 14 and got admitted to the hospital this past may)
My sister went through the same thing. Absolutely horrible.
That second one, at 2:05, where they say “push out the uterus” could be when a menstruating person is just sick and tired of periods and they yell “pleeeease take out my uterus, I do not want it anymore!!!”
*I may or may not have done this this why I think that may be what it’s about
While funny, it is equally worrying that there are people out there who genuinely think this is true.
