As someone who is on my period now, I can tell you that it is very real
and it sucks. I am ready to burst into tears at a moments notice and I
could definitely bite someone’s head off right now.
The title of this post pretty much says it all.....
I think it is important for those considering transition to know that while some, especially some younger women, will experience many of the symptoms of a period (obviously not a menstrual flow), not all women experience this after transition. I did not and I no acquaintance of mine has had this problem after gender confirmation surgery. It might be a good idea too, if you are a trans woman who is experiencing mood swings in a monthly cycle, to speak to your endocrinologist about alternatives to the delivery method of your estrogen.
