In what ways can natal women and trans women relate? Also, how are we similar?

However, a period isn't shameful if I feel ashamed by it. That's not the way the world works. Tons of men shame women for periods. It's considered dirty, not by me, but by people who know little of the female body

but then at the end of the day its still your problem then if you admit that it is not shameful but you feel ashamed because of what other people say? you should tell such people to go fuck themselves, or outright ignore their remarks, as theyre clearly ignorant. i mean..what other option is there? you cant educate someone that doesnt want to be educated, nor can you be expected to educate literally every ignorant person on the planet either.

I've even seen transwomen say they're better for not having one. Of course thats rare as most of them wish they could have one.

i have seen that one, this is not a trans women specific phenomenon! check out /r/childfree plenty of gals there arent fans of having a period, and would wish to not have one, and even take steps to Not have periods and then say theyre better for not having one. i think the "better for not having one" comes from the same thought pattern for both groups, at the end of the day it is physically a hassle, you have to do more things if you have it than if you didnt have it.

Also I've never understood the perception of mood swings with a period. A woman would only get moody because of the pain from cramping she is experiencing. This is a common experience to get easily upset if you're in pain and isn't only associated with it being "that time of the month."

to be fair though, pain and cramping is not the only thing that happens during a period, hormonal swings exist, Do they happen for everyone? nope, do they happen for a notable part of women? yep. does it make whatever theyre saying during a period less "real" or less "valuable"? nope. the excuse of not taking women seirously because of periods is ridicolous, women arent crazy hysterical people lol

I've seen a lot of transwomen think it gives us an excuse to be bitchy or that we can't control it. Moodiness isn't really the main point of PMSing, nor chocolate for that matter.

never once have i seen that, but i can see the logic behind it though: natural function of the body -> cant control it -> excuse to be a bitch

Doesnt really work, everyone period or no period is responsible for their actions and what they say. and yes moodiness isnt a main point of PMSing for Some people, for some it is. my girl-friend for example becomes incredibly moody for a couple of days only because of it. and not moody in the sense of "hey i cant control what im doing" but "my emotions are a rollercoaster" moodiness can totally be the main point of PMS for some women. its great that it isnt the main point for you though.

dont understand the chocolate thing either.

When I'm on my period, it's an annoying experience because I have to worry about bleeding on everything (mostly when sleeping), and the pains I experience. I've been doubled over on the floor crying because of them.

dunno what to say here, sucks that it goes for you this severely. hope it gets better. you could always look into birth control that would stop periods if you already havent, though i imagine you already have.
