Women don’t get “stomach cramps” on their periods. We get uterine cramps. Women may say “I have stomach cramps” or “I have abdominal cramps” when what we actually mean is uterine cramps. I find that I and other women say that to not announce to people that we may not feel comfortable telling that were on our periods. It’s quite intimate IMO to tell co workers or bosses that we have period cramps. So when people ask why we don’t feel well “oh I just have stomach cramps”. Most women usually know that’s code for uterine cramps and I’m on my period. But stomach cramps are not a symptom at all of PMS. Only uterine cramps are. So if you’re having stomach cramps that’s a whole other issue.
That’s not possible, it all has a connection to the blood and eggs and if you don’t have the eggs you cannot experience cramps, it’s not stomach pain it’s uterus pain
actually youre speculating here. ill cite this source if youd like me to: PMS symptoms start five to 11 days before menstruation and typically go away once menstruation begins. The cause of PMS is unknown. However, many researchers believe that it’s related to a change in both sex hormone and serotonin levels at the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Levels of estrogen and progesterone increase during certain times of the month. An increase in these hormones can cause mood swings, anxiety, and irritability. Ovarian steroids also modulate activity in parts of your brain associated with premenstrual symptoms. the overwhelming answer to this question is that a lot of things go into pms, one of them being hormonal balance. since a lot of trans women have the hormonal balance of cis women, they can start experiencing pms. its actually surprisingly easy to understand. this is also why people who have had a hysterectomy can still experience cramps. hope this helps and let me know if you have questions.
@@violetburr4984 I'm done with having a MALE explain my fucking body to me. Your arrogance is beyond annoying. I'm a fucking FEMALE and you're condescendingly explaining menstrual cramps to me.😳 I see the only way to shut your arrogant ass up is to block you.
@@violetburr4984 There is one problem with this, PMS is caused by increased hormones, which is part of the cycle, transwomen take hormones, they don't produce them, so they may have the same balance as females, at baseline, but where as trans women are on a dose, females are not, our bodies produce them which leads to higher levels during our cycle, which causes PMS, so trans women will not experience PMS, women who have had a hysterectomy can have stomach ache, EVERYONE can, but they do not have uterine cramps which are period cramps, just like trans women do not experience uterine cramps,
so many biological women are on here getting offended. i’m a mother of two children who i birthed and breastfed. and i get a regular cycle every month. i think one big thing that you pointed out was that you aren’t biologically a woman and don’t have the necessary organs to have a period and people are ignoring you saying that. i think it’s important for trans women to credit women assigned as female at birth. i personally have never taken hormones to change my sex and don’t have body dysmorphia so i cannot attest to your feelings. i wish more people would love and support each other, while not discrediting the very real changes women go through every month. we are not the same and will never be, but that’s OKAY! i hope one day we can acknowledge our differences truly and stand together in femininity. ps.. for anyone on here who wants my cramps, mood swings and menstrual blood.. i’d be happy to swap for your hormone pains 🙂
it’s not stomach cramps, it’s my uterus cramping and it feels much deeper and intense than a stomach cramp. But you seem like a nice enough person so I’m not mad.
Have you discussed this with your doctor? I feel like people are just going off of what other people are saying. Periods are in direct relationship with female reproduction. This all sounds like social contagion. But whateves, what do I know about female bodies, I am just a cis female.
Did you even listen to what I said in the video? I literally pose the question as to whether it is all psychosomatic and say that there are many people who experience this and that I would simply like to know more about it. Also, which doctor do you suppose I go to? I have an appointment with an endocrinologist once every 6 months and GPs have a severe lack of knowledge in trans healthcare. I am still on the waiting list to be seen by a doctor at my local GIC after almost 3 years since referring there. Period symptoms in trans women exist and are worth discussing in more detail than simply dismissing the notion because we have different anatomy. But whateves, what do I know about trans women's bodies, I'm just a trans woman.
I did listen to the video, and in all fairness it does seems like you were posing a question to your viewers based on observations and conversations that you have had in your community. So my bad on that. Regarding doctors, I wouldn’t know. It seems like transpeople would need a whole team of doctors working together to pin down some real guidelines, It seems like most medical guidelines regarding trans health are mainly influenced by social politics. Plus, I don’t think that will ever happen as long as certain trans voices keep blocking studies from taking place. How can doctors form proper guidelines if they can’t figure out what qualifies a person as trans. Like diabetes, we can test for it very early and provide treatment. But if diabetes were an identity that were completely subjective to ones own spirit or sense of self, how does one even begin a medical intervention, let alone how young. Yes there have been some studies done over the years, but those that I have read have many wholes, and still dont address the fundamental doubt that exist that transgenderism is a condition that is purely a psychological (a very complicated one at that). I know that we won’t change each other’s minds, which is fine. I am not here to derate and you seem really cool, I just ran across your vid and seeing as though I have a period, I felt like contributing to the convo.
There are extensive guidelines for trans healthcare from the NHS, GMC and internationally. Medications have been prescribed for trans people for decades. A recent consultation on trans healthcare collected qualitative data on how best to move forward with improving care across the uk, to which one conclusion was to bring much of it into primary care, a move which has long been needed. Training courses are available for GPs to diagnose Gender Dysphoria and with the right knowledge it is not difficult to diagnose. I am not sure what you implying by it being purely psychological, if you mean that it is a mental illness then you would be incorrect in this association. Gender Dysphoria has been declassified from a mental illness and leading practitioners of trans healthcare are in no debate as to whether it is or is not a mental illness. It is not. More research needs to be done into the origin of what makes a person transgender, there have been some studies that indicate to something happening in particular stages of gestation, but more research is definitely needed. No guidelines for trans healthcare are formed by social politics. However, the influence of social politics is the reason social politics exist, if it did not influence the subject matter and cause necessary conversation then there would be no point in social politics. It wouldn't even be social politics, it would just be a pointless debate with no one listening. The reason for people to stand up and be heard is because not enough is being done by a governing body, in this case the NHS. Without people standing up and raising concerns no problems would ever be identified. Social politics is exactly what is needed to push forward change and make systems better. However no policies and guidelines are ever written by those members of the public. Concerns are raised and then the medical professionals evaluate the best way to resolve those problems with the knowledge, education and research that is best available at that time. Thank you, you do have a valid voice, everyone does. However if you are going to speak about something such as trans healthcare with such a dismissive attitude towards the years of work by many medical professionals across the world then I will always respond in this way.
I guess we will leave it at that. These are meet up for coffee and chat like humans convos. I wish you the best and peace in what you are looking for in life.
@@Tina-de4zt I'm trans, but I decided to do research because last night, I had this hour long unbearable cramp to the point I was crying, then I woke and now i have these cramps that will come then go away then come back and go away...its exhausting me...but I just want to compare what others are going through... I just wish there was research about this and I would love to sit down and talk to you about it lol....kinda scared...
She said she’s having stomach cramps not PERIOD cramps She clearly said it initially that she doesnt have the necessary anatomy for her to experience a period so y’all should stop being so on the attack and hear her out. It is actually absolutely normal for trans women to experience symptoms of pseudo menstruation.
Yes, I agree, but my interest is in how many trans women experience this side effect much like a period. A psychological and physiological occurrence that doesn't get spoken about much.
@@AmberEvans it's not like a period it is a side effect of the hormone treatments nothing to do with periods or did you not read what that person just said
I think it's an autogynephilic delusion. The only trans women who think they have periods are AGPs, which makes sense given that there are reddit threads full of pre-transition AGPs talking about things like stealing used period pads from public restrooms, putting them in their underwear and then walking around with a raging erection because they're so turned on by the fantasy of having their period.
Side effects of a medication don’t just work for one week a month. They progressively get worse and worse. Not just appear and disappear. How many stories on this have you even heard or read? Do you even know that amab’s have hormone cycles all ready. So it’s not a far leap from there to having period symptoms. And women with complete hysterectomies that take hrt must be lying too right??
@@codiw1990 women who have had a hysterectomy might still experience phantom-limb (or phantom-organ in this case) syndrome regarding periods. However, they are NOT having periods (if they still have their ovaries they may still ovulate and produce hormones which will still give them some symptoms of a period. No woman who has had a hysterectomy still bleeds). Having said that: trans identified males cannot experience phantom-organ syndrome for an organ they've never had. Nor can they have hormone cycles when on a constant, stable supply of the same hormone pills day in, day out, as is the case when actual women take the pill without a weeks break every month. You don't know what you're talking about, and normalising this delusion is going to endanger male trans people by persuading them to pretend that potential symptoms of dangerous illnesses are actually them having their ~period~.
I agree with everything but the cramps.Women don't have stomach cramps on their period.They have uterine cramps were the uterus contracts and expands as it sheds the uterine lining to prepare the body for the next cycle getting the body ready for a possible pregnancy.I understand the other pms symptoms that is just the only one i dont understand.i have been doing some research on it and i am still coming up at a dead end.If you ever find a reason why please give us an update.Having a mentrual cycle can be both a gift and a curse for women like myself whom has a condition that causes abnormally heavy and painful periods.It can be very debilitating every month.
The chemical in the body responsible for uterine cramps is still produced in trans women, in smaller amounts. It goes into the blood stream and makes other soft tissue cramp, which is why trans women sometimes experience cramps like that.
h6hfelie eat my ass dude? The burden of proof is on you. Find evidence that it doesn’t happen, I’ll wait. There is very little known about this right now, the studies are still developing. This is the current medical theory as to why trans women experience this.
@@lexisnep525 DUDE! MEN don't have periods.... I know it makes you feel better saying it, but it's IMPOSSIBLE for a BIOLOGICAL MALE to have periods! taking female hormones DOESN'T magically make you a female. You can't claim to have a period and NOT ACTUALLY GET THE PERIOD! Period cramps are not in the stomach, it's the uterus, and what about ovulation ????? I guess your "female body" just skips over that right? You men need help, serious help. Then you wonder why us women feel so offended when men speak about your bodies.
Trans women do NOT get a monthly cycle. You do not ovulate. You're trans, you don't know the symptom. Most of us don't get headaches. You need to stop saying y'all get a period and have a cycle. You are doing too much. And yes, we can distinguish between trans an cis. You calling your reaction to hormone injections a period is offensive!
This is a bit insulting. Unless you are born a women you don’t really know what a period or PMS feels like. You know what you hear, but that is a stereotype and it’s not really knowing the true feeling. You can’t claim you have this when you don’t know the true feelings to even say you are feeling like it. I feel it’s hijacking our genuine experience and almost like mockery to biological women.
First of fuck you, we do get PMS symptoms. And another thing, this is common and well documented by endocrinologist. You don't know what your talking about so please shut the fuck up. Also cis women have it easy, you don't have to deal with hormone blockers, bigoted people like yourself, dehumanizing portrayals.
@@coffeeclark3922 . Real fucking mature. You have more chance of seeing unicorn poo then a trans woman having a fucking period. Give your head a wobble.
@@coffeeclark3922 Nah, the only ""PMS"" you get is side effects from drugs pumping through your system then get angry when biological females tell you that males cannot experience PMS symptoms with no uterus, because you do not have the organ responsible for creating uterine cramps If you're having stomach cramps that's not normal. And it's a typical male perspective to believe that females 'have it easy' so kindly shut the fuck up. We have to deal with rape threats, abuse, painful periods that prevent us from doing normal things if the pain is too extreme and all you do is fetishize us for it. You think that being abused/catcalled is 'uwu so validating.' Not to mention other TIM's like you invading our rights and silencing us. There are more and more people peaking now against your trans cult movement because the world is becoming a joke now. So please... shut the f up and stop thinking you know females better than we know ourselves.
@@catherinemccarthy4703 there's a difference between pms and a period, I'm taking the same hormone that causes the cramps which causes simlur symptoms, I've talked to multiple doctors about this and that's normal
It’s wild that people are dismissing stomach cramps as a period symptom because they absolutely are. Heavy shits and constipation are common period symptoms, and even without periods, stomach crampsalways go along with them. I’ve had constipation cramps that rival my uterine ones, and when I’ve had both at once I genuinely couldn’t tell which was which.
I think it is a side effect of the hormones. What hormones do transwomen take? In the two weeks leading to menstruation (called the luteal phase) women can mimic pregnancy symptoms because the body is actually preparing for a potential pregnancy. This can cause food cravings, bloating, mood changes, headaches, acne, breast soreness. I experience the headaches right before menstruation. All of these symptoms are because of the hormone progesterone. Are transwomen given progesterone? Because if so, maybe you are experiencing side effects.
This is really interesting. When I was making this video I was taking progesterone, so that would explain it. Many trans women do take progesterone, more so in USA than UK. I'm no longer taking progesterone and don't experience the same side effects each month. Thank you for the insight!
I don't even know where or how to begin so Ill just site the science behind menstruation and start by saying periods are a female phenom they are not "any cycle that has an ending" words having meanings and just like periodically wanting a penis doesnt make me trans, dealing with the side effects of medication doesn't mean you have a period even if PMS (which is what you're describing= periods/menstruation. Trans women DO NOT and CAN NOT experience menstrual cramps its not possible on an anatomy level you do not have uterus, stomach cramps are not uterine cramps. If anyone listened to women you'd know period cramps are more internal, same with cervical cramps and pain especially when dealing with blood clots youll never know that pain and there's no way to explain it other than sharp stabbing in your cervix, same with upper thigh cramping during periods. Uterine pain doesn't just stay in the stomach area it radiates, uterine pain aka period cramps are a series of cramps in different locations not stomach cramps. Hormones fluctuating doesn't cause menstruation very specific hormonal fluctuations cause menstruation, transwomen dont as far as I know take testosterone boosters while esterone plummets, which causes symptoms like acne. The majority aren't being prescribed progesterone which causes sore breast, maybe I missed something but trans women prostaglandins have no reason to react in the stomach area for literally no reason (your body does not have a cycle) that area unless maybe your medication is slowly damaging your insides time to see a doctor.
I looked into this some when I got them. Fortunately, only 4 times. But apparently woman with hysterectomies that are on the same HRT treatment as trans woman are also known to get period pains.
You are a beautiful nerd! You also are not the first trans woman Ive heard talk about this, its so interesting. We really do need more research because there is so much stuff like this that we dont understand. Hot water bottle and hot chocolate is the way forward! Go for a dark choc hot choc (Green and blacks is the best) as that wont hurt the migrains
Do you have a Facebook Amber? I'm trying to make friends with people who are going through Gender dysphoria or like yourself are going through hormone treatment. Love your videos and they have really helped me so far.
i do too i noticed it since going on decapeptyl bc before with cypro i was always shit so i did no any different im still trying to track it is very fasinating x
Hi darling look very nice 😜 I have a important question and that unfortunately I haven't found nothing on Google after many search anyway.. I did start hrt by one mont so I telling you or in generals about all transgender, did you feelt any Articolar pains specifically around your legs ankle kness and sometime even on wrist? I would be grateful if you would answer my question it's will be very helpful for me. Many thanks Rose 😘😘
Hi Rose. I didn't personally experience anything like that, perhaps something to speak to a doctor about? Or if not a doctor then perhaps someone like a physio who may be able to shed some light onto why you are getting these pains. Don't rule out that it may be completely unrelated to the hormones (correlation does not equal causation)
@@AmberEvans thanks so much for your answer darling 💋 I've already spoke to the doctor but they only says: to take tablets for pain but the pain still comes back so painful 😔 anyway thank you again darling 💋 💋
If you don't get why it's offensive let me explain: it feels EXACTLY like when the wives in handmaid's tale pretend they're giving birth whilst sitting behind the handmaid actually doing it. And everybody plays along in the charade
@@suelancaster6959 the ovaries are responsible for regulating hormonal balance, which is why pms can still occur after hysterectomy. trans women in the same hormonal range as cis women will experience pms symptoms. sure they still have ovaries, but the root cause remains unchanged. is pms the exact same for cis women as it is for trans women? no, however with the vast majority of pms symptoms being caused by hormonal fluctuation, i fail to see a meaningful difference.
@@violetburr4984 pms cramping isn't caused by hormonal fluctuations. It's literally caused by the uterus getting rid of the uterine lining to prepare for a possible pregnancy.
@@MsAggie78 please read my previous reply. youre arguing without doing research first, this is the #1 argument i see from people who havent done an ounce of research.
Hey y’all, ik everyone wants to be mister or missus know it all- but y’all are not doctors, y’all are not endocrinologists, y’all are not the saints who know everything about this, so I would strongly recommend, that you take this at face value and if it REALLY bothers you, go look it up, google is a thing, so do some research, like I am, instead of leaving a butthurt RUclips comment, sorry the idea of trans women having any sort or type of period, offends you
The fact that biological men want to sit on this internet and try to make it seem like y’all have anything even remotely like a period or experience PMS (periods menstruation) is definitely offensive. The pain and agony we are subjected to every month in regards to our menstrual cycles is something that can’t be put into words. we have to deal with Sore breast ,full fledge mood swings, cravings, headaches, nausea, fatigue, muscle pain and weakness, bloating, and vomiting and a plethora of other symptoms in regards to our monthly’s. Intense uterine cramps that are so severe it cripples you. The fact that we have to wear Pads/Tampons/ cups 24/7 that have to be changed constantly or you will bleed through your underwear and clothing, with constant blood flow and pain for up to a week straight! And biological men want to get on here and argue with us real women about something we experience once a month! YOU HAVE NO IDEA and never Will understand what it’s like to have a period. To make a mockery of it because y’all feels like it gives you the full women experience is FOUL!. Just because you take some hormones don’t mean you’re PMSing or have any idea of what’s it’s like to have A period! It’s misogynistic and I guarantee if you would have a period for 1 day you would be on your knees begging for it to stop from the severity of the Pain it causes. On top of this we still have to go about our daily lives while having our periods and being in some of the worst pain you can imagine, you can feel it in your thighs, back, lower back and lower abdomen but the pain isn’t in your stomach is actually coming from the uterus which contracts 24/7 while menstruating and it HURTS! BAD!….
I do feel bloated a lot of the time and I have bouts of really bad depression for no real reason.about once a month.I really hate the weight gain more than anything and the constant tiredness.
Warm sore itchy boobs, horrific mood changes, crying spells even, bloating, headaches or light-headedness, hot flashes, sometimes vision issues..ect. All hormone and nerve signaling and pathway changes. Part pms, part puberty, so some of the cycles are erratic about timing, but some seem to intensify in cyclic nature..
I honestly have the same situation and been on hormones for a year when it’s the 17th of this year. And not enough trans woman talk about this for fear that other people will think it is psycho schematic but I respect your bravery in talking about it and now I don’t feel alone in my cramps that I chose not to talk to anyone about. It’s normal because on hormones we get those symptoms sometimes even though we don’t have a uterus and there is nothing wrong with you gorgeous
Firstly, it's "psychosomatic' and secondly trans women don't get periods. You may have emotional hormonal swings at the end of your patch, but it's not a period. You can't experience pregnancy, periods, female puberty or menopause. Stop trying to appropriate women's biology. You're trans, not cis, and that's okay! I want y'all happy and healthy, but don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
After 2 years & 2 months of HRT, I've started also. Luckily my wife is talking me thru them. No, it does not sense, but yet we are feeling our real pain & discomfort.
Yeah. A pain you chose. Uterine cramps, and headaches we do not choose. It is a natural phenomenon for a woman....and we overcome it every damn month with dignity and strength.
No. Just no. I am a trans woman, and I’m telling you to go to a doctor. Maybe your hormones are causing you pain… and if they are, CHANGE THEM IMMEDIATELY. I had stomach cramps on Prometrium and my endocrinologist pulled me off it immediately. These things need to be adjusted with a medical professional. It’s not a period. It’s not “normal,” so FIX IT.
This is funny! First REAL WOMEN say your not a woman because real women have cycles now in their head they have cycles now. What’s next they can get pregnant too? 😂 only in America
Miss Amber Evans may I have a shout out and maybe add you on social media not many Transwomen where I'm from and would love to talk with someone who's had a lot more experience as I'm Pre-op x
Wow at the number of comments from people jumping at you for bringing this up. Seriously? It's like no one listens at all. No of course trans women don't menstruate, the parts are in a different format. But wouldn't hearing that many trans women experience similar symptoms be a good point of research anyway? Perhaps a physical aspect of human gene expression could be gleaned from this. MtF people fairly unanimously state their life experiences again and again but people jump down their throats like we're going to court about their anatomy. News flash, we have $40000 worth of medical bills that need paying; we can't afford a lawyer. We aren't going to prove your body's not real or anything like that. We just want to be treated like a human being. We have symptoms that are similar to periods, but obviously still different from XX people. Our hormones are expressing genes that would otherwise be dormant. Couldn't that induce huge ranges of symptoms? We are acutely aware that our anatomy is not the same. That's the most obvious thing in the room. Why then do so many people deny our experiences? Why bother even commenting that we don't have uteri? It's obvious to us too. So how about this, we open our ears to the actual things that will help people with medical issues with respect and trust, instead of plugging them up and denying other people their reality. Work with us. Stop treating us like we're not human. We are human beings.
We jump down your throat because most of you are just as misogynistic as a man from the 1950s. 1950s Male on period pains : it's just a tummy ache/muscle spasm 2000s MTF Trans : wow I have a tummy ache/muscle spasm. Must be period pains Women : welp feels like my uterus and ovaries are about to drop out of my vag It trivializes something we didn't ask for and will have to deal with until menopause which is just as bad in different ways. I can just as easily throw your "we just want to be treated like a human beings" right back at you. As a woman I want to be treated like an individual and not a stereotype. Lots of transgenders fail at this. For what it's worth I don't hate transgenders. I absolutely do see you as human beings which means you are fair game when it comes to criticisms.
Because we're tired of trans women trying to tell US they have "similar symptoms" when that's literally impossible. Its like they want to have periods so bad, they're trying to convince us they're just as much in the hole with cramps. No, no, you're not. You can't have uterus cramps WITH NO UTERUS!!!

Stomach cramps have absolutely nothing to do with a woman's period and it's hilarious how you all associate periods with mood swings and cravings and cramps. You don't have a uterus and you don't bleed out a vagina. You're all delusional.
@@daniellemcalpine-hawkins6756 delusional fetishists. I can't believe they've got whole governments pandering to them while women and children suffer the consequences.
Totally a thing. I'm 28 days regular. 3-4 days of nausea, headaches, irritability, fluctuating emotions. No stomach cramps but loss of appetite followed by a strong craving for salty, fat food like potato chips - Like clockwork. And of course we transgender women don't have ovaries or a uterus so no actual period. Most people who are commenting that this is absurd need to actually learn about anatomy. Hormone fluctuations are controlled by the pituitary gland. It's what triggers the egg to release and the period to begin. In transgender women - We get the joy of the pituitary gland messing with hormone levels but oh course, we don't actually menstruate. Women who have had hysterectomies may experience the same thing even though the reproductive organs are physically absent.
Lmao you don't experience nothing a woman does for a period fool. Keep being delusional and you clearly look like a man in your photo. You can't change your gender but keep acting like you can. Drugs aren't changing who you really are, only your appearance. Don't act like you know how it is to be a woman when you'll never be us.

Exactly. And whether it is brought on by something psychosomatic or something to do with hormone and chemical changes is still unknown, but these physical symptoms are very real.

@@Crossword131 He said period pain, I'm awfully concerned for him. Its not normal for males to experience such thing
so many biological women are on here getting offended. i’m a mother of two children who i birthed and breastfed. and i get a regular cycle every month. i think one big thing that you pointed out was that you aren’t biologically a woman and don’t have the necessary organs to have a period and people are ignoring you saying that. i think it’s important for trans women to credit women assigned as female at birth. i personally have never taken hormones to change my sex and don’t have body dysmorphia so i cannot attest to your feelings. i wish more people would love and support each other, while not discrediting the very real changes women go through every month. we are not the same and will never be, but that’s OKAY! i hope one day we can acknowledge our differences truly and stand together in femininity. ps.. for anyone on here who wants my cramps, mood swings and menstrual blood.. i’d be happy to swap for your hormone pains 🙂
it’s not stomach cramps, it’s my uterus cramping and it feels much deeper and intense than a stomach cramp. But you seem like a nice enough person so I’m not mad.
BAHAHAHA the comments.. you need a uterus for a period. Period.
We don’t get stomach cramps, we get period cramps. A lot lower.
Have you discussed this with your doctor? I feel like people are just going off of what other people are saying. Periods are in direct relationship with female reproduction. This all sounds like social contagion. But whateves, what do I know about female bodies, I am just a cis female.
Did you even listen to what I said in the video? I literally pose the question as to whether it is all psychosomatic and say that there are many people who experience this and that I would simply like to know more about it. Also, which doctor do you suppose I go to? I have an appointment with an endocrinologist once every 6 months and GPs have a severe lack of knowledge in trans healthcare. I am still on the waiting list to be seen by a doctor at my local GIC after almost 3 years since referring there. Period symptoms in trans women exist and are worth discussing in more detail than simply dismissing the notion because we have different anatomy. But whateves, what do I know about trans women's bodies, I'm just a trans woman.
I did listen to the video, and in all fairness it does seems like you were posing a question to your viewers based on observations and conversations that you have had in your community. So my bad on that. Regarding doctors, I wouldn’t know. It seems like transpeople would need a whole team of doctors working together to pin down some real guidelines, It seems like most medical guidelines regarding trans health are mainly influenced by social politics. Plus, I don’t think that will ever happen as long as certain trans voices keep blocking studies from taking place. How can doctors form proper guidelines if they can’t figure out what qualifies a person as trans. Like diabetes, we can test for it very early and provide treatment. But if diabetes were an identity that were completely subjective to ones own spirit or sense of self, how does one even begin a medical intervention, let alone how young. Yes there have been some studies done over the years, but those that I have read have many wholes, and still dont address the fundamental doubt that exist that transgenderism is a condition that is purely a psychological (a very complicated one at that).
I know that we won’t change each other’s minds, which is fine. I am not here to derate and you seem really cool, I just ran across your vid and seeing as though I have a period, I felt like contributing to the convo.
There are extensive guidelines for trans healthcare from the NHS, GMC and internationally. Medications have been prescribed for trans people for decades. A recent consultation on trans healthcare collected qualitative data on how best to move forward with improving care across the uk, to which one conclusion was to bring much of it into primary care, a move which has long been needed. Training courses are available for GPs to diagnose Gender Dysphoria and with the right knowledge it is not difficult to diagnose.
I am not sure what you implying by it being purely psychological, if you mean that it is a mental illness then you would be incorrect in this association. Gender Dysphoria has been declassified from a mental illness and leading practitioners of trans healthcare are in no debate as to whether it is or is not a mental illness. It is not. More research needs to be done into the origin of what makes a person transgender, there have been some studies that indicate to something happening in particular stages of gestation, but more research is definitely needed.
No guidelines for trans healthcare are formed by social politics. However, the influence of social politics is the reason social politics exist, if it did not influence the subject matter and cause necessary conversation then there would be no point in social politics. It wouldn't even be social politics, it would just be a pointless debate with no one listening. The reason for people to stand up and be heard is because not enough is being done by a governing body, in this case the NHS. Without people standing up and raising concerns no problems would ever be identified. Social politics is exactly what is needed to push forward change and make systems better. However no policies and guidelines are ever written by those members of the public. Concerns are raised and then the medical professionals evaluate the best way to resolve those problems with the knowledge, education and research that is best available at that time.
Thank you, you do have a valid voice, everyone does. However if you are going to speak about something such as trans healthcare with such a dismissive attitude towards the years of work by many medical professionals across the world then I will always respond in this way.
I guess we will leave it at that. These are meet up for coffee and chat like humans convos. I wish you the best and peace in what you are looking for in life.
@@Tina-de4zt I'm trans, but I decided to do research because last night, I had this hour long unbearable cramp to the point I was crying, then I woke and now i have these cramps that will come then go away then come back and go away...its exhausting me...but I just want to compare what others are going through...
I just wish there was research about this and I would love to sit down and talk to you about it lol....kinda scared...
She said she’s having stomach cramps not PERIOD cramps
She clearly said it initially that she doesnt have the necessary anatomy for her to experience a period so y’all should stop being so on the attack and hear her out. It is actually absolutely normal for trans women to experience symptoms of pseudo menstruation.
Right...but I get headaches and I'd be a lunatic if I expressed to you that these are period symptoms (headaches are a period symptom).
Side effects of the medication. Not a phenomenon. Not a period.
Yes, I agree, but my interest is in how many trans women experience this side effect much like a period. A psychological and physiological occurrence that doesn't get spoken about much.
@@AmberEvans it's not like a period it is a side effect of the hormone treatments nothing to do with periods or did you not read what that person just said
I think it's an autogynephilic delusion. The only trans women who think they have periods are AGPs, which makes sense given that there are reddit threads full of pre-transition AGPs talking about things like stealing used period pads from public restrooms, putting them in their underwear and then walking around with a raging erection because they're so turned on by the fantasy of having their period.
Side effects of a medication don’t just work for one week a month. They progressively get worse and worse. Not just appear and disappear. How many stories on this have you even heard or read? Do you even know that amab’s have hormone cycles all ready. So it’s not a far leap from there to having period symptoms. And women with complete hysterectomies that take hrt must be lying too right??
@@codiw1990 women who have had a hysterectomy might still experience phantom-limb (or phantom-organ in this case) syndrome regarding periods. However, they are NOT having periods (if they still have their ovaries they may still ovulate and produce hormones which will still give them some symptoms of a period. No woman who has had a hysterectomy still bleeds).
Having said that: trans identified males cannot experience phantom-organ syndrome for an organ they've never had. Nor can they have hormone cycles when on a constant, stable supply of the same hormone pills day in, day out, as is the case when actual women take the pill without a weeks break every month.
You don't know what you're talking about, and normalising this delusion is going to endanger male trans people by persuading them to pretend that potential symptoms of dangerous illnesses are actually them having their ~period~.
I agree with everything but the cramps.Women don't have stomach cramps on their period.They have uterine cramps were the uterus contracts and expands as it sheds the uterine lining to prepare the body for the next cycle getting the body ready for a possible pregnancy.I understand the other pms symptoms that is just the only one i dont understand.i have been doing some research on it and i am still coming up at a dead end.If you ever find a reason why please give us an update.Having a mentrual cycle can be both a gift and a curse for women like myself whom has a condition that causes abnormally heavy and painful periods.It can be very debilitating every month.
The chemical in the body responsible for uterine cramps is still produced in trans women, in smaller amounts. It goes into the blood stream and makes other soft tissue cramp, which is why trans women sometimes experience cramps like that.
@@lexisnep525 bullshit. Evidence please.
h6hfelie eat my ass dude? The burden of proof is on you. Find evidence that it doesn’t happen, I’ll wait. There is very little known about this right now, the studies are still developing. This is the current medical theory as to why trans women experience this.
@@lexisnep525 DUDE! MEN don't have periods.... I know it makes you feel better saying it, but it's IMPOSSIBLE for a BIOLOGICAL MALE to have periods! taking female hormones DOESN'T magically make you a female. You can't claim to have a period and NOT ACTUALLY GET THE PERIOD! Period cramps are not in the stomach, it's the uterus, and what about ovulation ????? I guess your "female body" just skips over that right? You men need help, serious help. Then you wonder why us women feel so offended when men speak about your bodies.
@@lexisnep525 That's not how it works. No uterus, no cramps. And biological MALES have no reason to be producing that "chemical" in the first place.🙄🙄
Trans women do NOT get a monthly cycle. You do not ovulate. You're trans, you don't know the symptom. Most of us don't get headaches. You need to stop saying y'all get a period and have a cycle. You are doing too much. And yes, we can distinguish between trans an cis. You calling your reaction to hormone injections a period is offensive!
How would you even know what they feel like in the first place when you've never experienced one....
This is a bit insulting. Unless you are born a women you don’t really know what a period or PMS feels like. You know what you hear, but that is a stereotype and it’s not really knowing the true feeling. You can’t claim you have this when you don’t know the true feelings to even say you are feeling like it. I feel it’s hijacking our genuine experience and almost like mockery to biological women.
Ikr
First of fuck you, we do get PMS symptoms. And another thing, this is common and well documented by endocrinologist. You don't know what your talking about so please shut the fuck up. Also cis women have it easy, you don't have to deal with hormone blockers, bigoted people like yourself, dehumanizing portrayals.
@@coffeeclark3922 . Real fucking mature. You have more chance of seeing unicorn poo then a trans woman having a fucking period. Give your head a wobble.
@@coffeeclark3922 Nah, the only ""PMS"" you get is side effects from drugs pumping through your system then get angry when biological females tell you that males cannot experience PMS symptoms with no uterus, because you do not have the organ responsible for creating uterine cramps If you're having stomach cramps that's not normal. And it's a typical male perspective to believe that females 'have it easy' so kindly shut the fuck up. We have to deal with rape threats, abuse, painful periods that prevent us from doing normal things if the pain is too extreme and all you do is fetishize us for it. You think that being abused/catcalled is 'uwu so validating.' Not to mention other TIM's like you invading our rights and silencing us. There are more and more people peaking now against your trans cult movement because the world is becoming a joke now. So please... shut the f up and stop thinking you know females better than we know ourselves.
@@catherinemccarthy4703 there's a difference between pms and a period, I'm taking the same hormone that causes the cramps which causes simlur symptoms, I've talked to multiple doctors about this and that's normal
When I'm on my period I don't have stomach cramps. I have UTERINE CRAMPS.
It’s wild that people are dismissing stomach cramps as a period symptom because they absolutely are.
Heavy shits and constipation are common period symptoms, and even without periods, stomach crampsalways go along with them.
I’ve had constipation cramps that rival my uterine ones, and when I’ve had both at once I genuinely couldn’t tell which was which.
It is in your brain
I believe you are having the symptoms you describe but the suggestion that it's any kind of monthly cycle is absurd.
I think it is a side effect of the hormones. What hormones do transwomen take? In the two weeks leading to menstruation (called the luteal phase) women can mimic pregnancy symptoms because the body is actually preparing for a potential pregnancy. This can cause food cravings, bloating, mood changes, headaches, acne, breast soreness. I experience the headaches right before menstruation. All of these symptoms are because of the hormone progesterone. Are transwomen given progesterone? Because if so, maybe you are experiencing side effects.
This is really interesting. When I was making this video I was taking progesterone, so that would explain it. Many trans women do take progesterone, more so in USA than UK. I'm no longer taking progesterone and don't experience the same side effects each month. Thank you for the insight!
I don't even know where or how to begin so Ill just site the science behind menstruation and start by saying periods are a female phenom they are not "any cycle that has an ending" words having meanings and just like periodically wanting a penis doesnt make me trans, dealing with the side effects of medication doesn't mean you have a period even if PMS (which is what you're describing= periods/menstruation.
Trans women DO NOT and CAN NOT experience menstrual cramps its not possible on an anatomy level you do not have uterus, stomach cramps are not uterine cramps. If anyone listened to women you'd know period cramps are more internal, same with cervical cramps and pain especially when dealing with blood clots youll never know that pain and there's no way to explain it other than sharp stabbing in your cervix, same with upper thigh cramping during periods. Uterine pain doesn't just stay in the stomach area it radiates, uterine pain aka period cramps are a series of cramps in different locations not stomach cramps.
Hormones fluctuating doesn't cause menstruation very specific hormonal fluctuations cause menstruation, transwomen dont as far as I know take testosterone boosters while esterone plummets, which causes symptoms like acne. The majority aren't being prescribed progesterone which causes sore breast, maybe I missed something but trans women prostaglandins have no reason to react in the stomach area for literally no reason (your body does not have a cycle) that area unless maybe your medication is slowly damaging your insides time to see a doctor.
SO TRUE SOME MEN ARE CRAZY she said men have a cycle too cause they have a hormone in balance THEY DONT
I looked into this some when I got them. Fortunately, only 4 times. But apparently woman with hysterectomies that are on the same HRT treatment as trans woman are also known to get period pains.
You are a beautiful nerd! You also are not the first trans woman Ive heard talk about this, its so interesting. We really do need more research because there is so much stuff like this that we dont understand. Hot water bottle and hot chocolate is the way forward! Go for a dark choc hot choc (Green and blacks is the best) as that wont hurt the migrains
85% dark chocolate is my saviour. I'm pretty sure if you cut me I would bleed dark chocolate, haha. And I have an awesome star wars hot water bottle x
@Makrothymia our lord and savior cheesus christ only serves dark chocolate and yes I know totally late reply that's my b UwU
I never got headaches when i had periods, but I used to get them at the top of my inner thighs. Odd how transwomen never mention pain there.
Ok but period cramps is literally the uterus contracting. No uterus=no period cramps.
Do you have a Facebook Amber? I'm trying to make friends with people who are going through Gender dysphoria or like yourself are going through hormone treatment. Love your videos and they have really helped me so far.
i do too i noticed it since going on decapeptyl bc before with cypro i was always shit so i did no any different im still trying to track it is very fasinating x
Whats fascinating is y'all getting cramps when you HAVE NO UTERUS.
@@MsAggie78 FYI some of us are intersex and dont even know it and then we find later in life.
progesterones causes constipation in women might also cause it in men using it but worse.
Hi darling look very nice 😜 I have a important question and that unfortunately I haven't found nothing on Google after many search anyway.. I did start hrt by one mont so I telling you or in generals about all transgender, did you feelt any Articolar pains specifically around your legs ankle kness and sometime even on wrist? I would be grateful if you would answer my question it's will be very helpful for me. Many thanks Rose 😘😘
Hi Rose. I didn't personally experience anything like that, perhaps something to speak to a doctor about? Or if not a doctor then perhaps someone like a physio who may be able to shed some light onto why you are getting these pains. Don't rule out that it may be completely unrelated to the hormones (correlation does not equal causation)
@@AmberEvans thanks so much for your answer darling 💋 I've already spoke to the doctor but they only says: to take tablets for pain but the pain still comes back so painful 😔 anyway thank you again darling 💋 💋
I would suggest a trip to your GP if you haave stomach cramps, migraine and bloating. You are definitely not having a period.
I think we need to see this hitcher costume, it sounds great. I love the boosh.
Honestly if your meds are causing you theses pain, maybe not take the meds.
I’m having cramps right now
If you don't get why it's offensive let me explain: it feels EXACTLY like when the wives in handmaid's tale pretend they're giving birth whilst sitting behind the handmaid actually doing it. And everybody plays along in the charade
I've had a migraine before they're the worst because they make you feel very ill I hope you're feeling better soon 🤗👍💗
Thank you
there are cis women who have hysterectomies who still feel cramping. is it dillusional for them too?
Those women usually still have ovaries and ovulate which can cause monthly pain
@@suelancaster6959 the ovaries are responsible for regulating hormonal balance, which is why pms can still occur after hysterectomy. trans women in the same hormonal range as cis women will experience pms symptoms. sure they still have ovaries, but the root cause remains unchanged.
is pms the exact same for cis women as it is for trans women? no, however with the vast majority of pms symptoms being caused by hormonal fluctuation, i fail to see a meaningful difference.
Women with no uteruses would have no uterine cramps. I can't believe I just had to explain that.🙄🙄
@@violetburr4984 pms cramping isn't caused by hormonal fluctuations. It's literally caused by the uterus getting rid of the uterine lining to prepare for a possible pregnancy.
@@MsAggie78 please read my previous reply. youre arguing without doing research first, this is the #1 argument i see from people who havent done an ounce of research.
Hey y’all, ik everyone wants to be mister or missus know it all- but y’all are not doctors, y’all are not endocrinologists, y’all are not the saints who know everything about this, so I would strongly recommend, that you take this at face value and if it REALLY bothers you, go look it up, google is a thing, so do some research, like I am, instead of leaving a butthurt RUclips comment, sorry the idea of trans women having any sort or type of period, offends you
If you aren't from the south you need to stop culturally appropriating our fucking slang. That aside no uterus and ovaries means no PMS.
We're FEMALES. We don't need to google our own damn anatomy. No uterus, no ovaries, no cramps, bye.🙄🙄🙄🙄
The fact that biological men want to sit on this internet and try to make it seem like y’all have anything even remotely like a period or experience PMS (periods menstruation) is definitely offensive. The pain and agony we are subjected to every month in regards to our menstrual cycles is something that can’t be put into words. we have to deal with Sore breast ,full fledge mood swings, cravings, headaches, nausea, fatigue, muscle pain and weakness, bloating, and vomiting and a plethora of other symptoms in regards to our monthly’s. Intense uterine cramps that are so severe it cripples you. The fact that we have to wear Pads/Tampons/ cups 24/7 that have to be changed constantly or you will bleed through your underwear and clothing, with constant blood flow and pain for up to a week straight! And biological men want to get on here and argue with us real women about something we experience once a month! YOU HAVE NO IDEA and never Will understand what it’s like to have a period. To make a mockery of it because y’all feels like it gives you the full women experience is FOUL!. Just because you take some hormones don’t mean you’re PMSing or have any idea of what’s it’s like to have A period! It’s misogynistic and I guarantee if you would have a period for 1 day you would be on your knees begging for it to stop from the severity of the Pain it causes. On top of this we still have to go about our daily lives while having our periods and being in some of the worst pain you can imagine, you can feel it in your thighs, back, lower back and lower abdomen but the pain isn’t in your stomach is actually coming from the uterus which contracts 24/7 while menstruating and it HURTS! BAD!….

And not enough trans woman talk about this for fear that other people will think it is psycho schematic but I respect your bravery in talking about it and now I don’t feel alone in my cramps that I chose not to talk to anyone about. It’s normal because on hormones we get those symptoms sometimes even though we don’t have a uterus and there is nothing wrong with you gorgeous
Firstly, it's "psychosomatic' and secondly trans women don't get periods. You may have emotional hormonal swings at the end of your patch, but it's not a period. You can't experience pregnancy, periods, female puberty or menopause. Stop trying to appropriate women's biology. You're trans, not cis, and that's okay! I want y'all happy and healthy, but don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
Can’t get uterine cramps without a uterus
After 2 years & 2 months of HRT, I've started also. Luckily my wife is talking me thru them.
No, it does not sense, but yet we are feeling our real pain & discomfort.
Yeah. A pain you chose. Uterine cramps, and headaches we do not choose. It is a natural phenomenon for a woman....and we overcome it every damn month with dignity and strength.

I had stomach cramps on Prometrium and my endocrinologist pulled me off it immediately. These things need to be adjusted with a medical professional. It’s not a period. It’s not “normal,” so FIX IT.
Why would you think it is a period? If you are having bloating and migraines go see a doctor...It is not a woman's cycle
This is funny! First REAL WOMEN say your not a woman because real women have cycles now in their head they have cycles now. What’s next they can get pregnant too? 😂 only in America

Miss Amber Evans may I have a shout out and maybe add you on social media not many Transwomen where I'm from and would love to talk with someone who's had a lot more experience as I'm Pre-op x
Wow at the number of comments from people jumping at you for bringing this up. Seriously? It's like no one listens at all. No of course trans women don't menstruate, the parts are in a different format. But wouldn't hearing that many trans women experience similar symptoms be a good point of research anyway? Perhaps a physical aspect of human gene expression could be gleaned from this. MtF people fairly unanimously state their life experiences again and again but people jump down their throats like we're going to court about their anatomy. News flash, we have $40000 worth of medical bills that need paying; we can't afford a lawyer. We aren't going to prove your body's not real or anything like that. We just want to be treated like a human being. We have symptoms that are similar to periods, but obviously still different from XX people. Our hormones are expressing genes that would otherwise be dormant. Couldn't that induce huge ranges of symptoms? We are acutely aware that our anatomy is not the same. That's the most obvious thing in the room. Why then do so many people deny our experiences? Why bother even commenting that we don't have uteri? It's obvious to us too. So how about this, we open our ears to the actual things that will help people with medical issues with respect and trust, instead of plugging them up and denying other people their reality. Work with us. Stop treating us like we're not human. We are human beings.
We jump down your throat because most of you are just as misogynistic as a man from the 1950s.
1950s Male on period pains : it's just a tummy ache/muscle spasm
2000s MTF Trans : wow I have a tummy ache/muscle spasm. Must be period pains
Women : welp feels like my uterus and ovaries are about to drop out of my vag
It trivializes something we didn't ask for and will have to deal with until menopause which is just as bad in different ways. I can just as easily throw your "we just want to be treated like a human beings" right back at you. As a woman I want to be treated like an individual and not a stereotype. Lots of transgenders fail at this.
For what it's worth I don't hate transgenders. I absolutely do see you as human beings which means you are fair game when it comes to criticisms.
Because we're tired of trans women trying to tell US they have "similar symptoms" when that's literally impossible. Its like they want to have periods so bad, they're trying to convince us they're just as much in the hole with cramps. No, no, you're not. You can't have uterus cramps WITH NO UTERUS!!!

Totally a thing. I'm 28 days regular. 3-4 days of nausea, headaches, irritability, fluctuating emotions. No stomach cramps but loss of appetite followed by a strong craving for salty, fat food like potato chips - Like clockwork. And of course we transgender women don't have ovaries or a uterus so no actual period. Most people who are commenting that this is absurd need to actually learn about anatomy. Hormone fluctuations are controlled by the pituitary gland. It's what triggers the egg to release and the period to begin. In transgender women - We get the joy of the pituitary gland messing with hormone levels but oh course, we don't actually menstruate. Women who have had hysterectomies may experience the same thing even though the reproductive organs are physically absent.
Lmao you don't experience nothing a woman does for a period fool. Keep being delusional and you clearly look like a man in your photo. You can't change your gender but keep acting like you can. Drugs aren't changing who you really are, only your appearance. Don't act like you know how it is to be a woman when you'll never be us.

Exactly. And whether it is brought on by something psychosomatic or something to do with hormone and chemical changes is still unknown, but these physical symptoms are very real.
