or if you were given the chance to have just one, would you take it?
Well, since not being able to have babies/get pregnant, was such a GID item with we - still is to some degree - I would OBVIOUSLY need to have periods.
So the answers is a VERY clear YES :)

Well I am not MTF but if I were I don't know why you want them they're a nuisance!

Well, yes, THEY ARE a nuisance I'm sure... but no babies without periods.
Yet to have at least one baby of my VERY own, be worth the nuisance, and --- even there, were ALL different, eh? :)

Yes but I doubt I'd be too enthusiastic about it during the event. To me it would be just something that comes as part of the package deal.
No, definitely not. I'll at least take my 1 advantage I get from being trans--I have enough disadvantages as-is.
Btw the pregnancy thing doesn't matter to me because I don't want kids. :-\ we are like, overpopulating p badly already. And I'm too immature to be a mother. :D
It's not the periods I would want, it's the ability to have children that I want. :(
I'd like to have children, but I don't have strong feelings about wanting to carry them. Growing up around a lot of women and subsequenty living with women in my adult life, I think I'll pass on menstruation. :-)
Assuming I still couldn't have babies, yeah, I'd have 1 just to see what it's like, lolz
But unless they allow babies then nty
I can't count the amount of genetic women who've said to me - "You're so lucky not to have periods". Do you want to have a penis and testicles, despise your body, not feel like a woman, feel unlovable on a very deep fundamental level, and go through major surgery and be unable to have children? I didn't think so.
I belive this question should be kind of put in 2 pieces.
1 "if you could have your period and become pregnent, would you?"
2"if you couldn't become pregnent but still was able to experience period, would you?"
----
to be honest I see the point in people who wanna have kids, but beside the children parts there's really nothing good about periods, and no matter how I see it I dont think any woman who wouldn't like to have kids should wish for them.
why wishing for having all that pain? cause it would prove you more of a woman..?
periods dosen't do that, only ignorants use it as a lame exuse.
just my opinion.
but something ells I wonder,
Cant mtf gets some kind of periods?.
I meaning not the same as cis-women with blood, but still felling mood changings and suchs.
some mtf I talked to had mention something like that, and some said its not posible.. I really don't know what to belive?
a menstrual period? Ill pass ;)

Hormone levels can rise and fall for both genders, it's just not very predictable or often as dramatic in cisdudes. I've seen a number of studies that tried to get more info on this, but I don't think anyone came away with very statistically significant findings (that I saw).
I guess I would have to think about it. If it came with being able to be pregnant, a female skeleton, small hands and feet, narrow shoulders and chest cavity, etc. etc. sure but if not then why bother?
why add more bad on top of bad?

The time hormone levels drop in transsexuals is when their last shot is wearing off or their last pill. Beyond that there are lunar cycles.

Err.. I get all the fun without the mess. Bloating, cramping, irritability, more emotional and feel weaker, etc. All that but no bleeding It has me a little concerned but no limbs have fallen off yet.
Does that make it Phantom Bite week for me if the guy's call it Shark Week?
So, after almost 1 year, 3 months I can tell you this:
IT SUCKS!
But, would I give it up? Not on your life Missy!
And to be able to give birth, I'd celebrate Shark Week with a party every month!
I seem to be a minority in my monthly experience with this though :(

It gets even easier....
Asking as I did:
"Would you want to have no periods?" -Oh yes, please no more periods for me!-
"OK, then would you want to be a man?" -Noooooo, never!-
Speaking to more then one cis-female, hm.
Axélle
I would like to experience it. Not sure if I would want to have it every month for 50-something years, though.
yes, I want to get as close biologically to being a woman as I am spiritually, all the benefits and all the drawbacks
If it meant carrying a child of my own, yes.
If it was the mess only - no thanks.
IE either the full deal or nothing - there's got to be a payback for all the inconvenience!
It's weird, because no girl really wants a period, so my "That hurts" part of my brain says "Heck no!" but the part of my brain that says it's part (not a major part, but a part) of the life experience of being a woman says, "Of course, without a doubt."
I think if I was given the option I would do it, even if I wouldn't have kids, just to feel more at place.
Then 2 weeks later I'll be kicking myself for doing that x3

yeah its pretty much what im talking about,
I don't bleed for the moment but I have the exact same symtomes as periods just without blood
(gonna talk to my doctor about it).
so I would call it a shark week.
it might also be logical not all mtf would get it/get it that much, since not all ciswomen get much of it, or even can be sure they get it.

Candy: hehe, yeah I kind of imaginate it to be something like that for most, guess it also would depends alot on the level.

Please let me know what you find out. I tried to bring it up with my doctor but she just blew me off (again). It could be an undiagnosed intersex condition I have for all I know.
I didn't want to call it shark week because of the lack of bleeding.

I've only come across 2 possible explanations for my symptoms, IMS ( http://theneave.com/male-pms-it-does-exist/ (http://theneave.com/male-pms-it-does-exist/) ) The other one is Persistent_Mullerian_duct_syndrome.
Hell no!
I´ve had enough of bleeding and pain on my 3 post op months!

Well your doctor probably blew you off because it's impossible to have menstrual cramps without a uterus, and you would know if you had a uterus. And you would probably know if you were any variety of intersexed too--like you would almost definitely be infertile for one thing.
It would also not make sense to have any kind of emotional/mental symptoms of a "period" unless you are injecting E because those are caused by changing hormone levels.

Well I am getting physical symptoms too, so there's something more than just the emotional stuff going on. Maybe I do have IMS and estrogen amplified it's effects. Who knows.
I would love it, and as a teen I sometimes fantasized about it because it equaled completeness.
Yes, I would like to expierence it
it part of been woman.. yes it can be uncomfortable.
Funny what we can be all jealous of.
Periods, including when "they" talked about cramps, ... even about being a Catholic going to have "Kommunion" in a white frilly taffeta dress, including the candles with golden garlands and frills, just about at that time when the first period happens – and of course not being born female to boot, the whole spiel.... early GID, and NO ONE was to know!!!
Even going to confessional AS A GIRL... telling the priest – what?
Oh my, the list goes on. Sob, sob.
Say no more dear,

True. Injecting e monthly would probably the closest thing to having some pms feelings.
Ah, I see. Just one problem. I'm not injecting E.
I wouldn't have periods unless they came as a package-deal with being able to have children and produce my own hormones. The only advantage that having periods in themselves would give is some sort of validation - to oneself, of course, since the public will just dismiss is and focus on everything else... like chromosomes.
That validation wears off quickly and is not worth the annoyance of periods.

Don't know how many of you have felt T-Surges (Known transpeople that have).. But I can't imagine it's much worse. I become some weird version of despair and anger. At the points I literally have to take the day off of school because just the slightest sound will drive me insane, and leave me with extremely violent thoughts. It's not a good thing lol.
Would I just have a period for itself? Probably not. I would however take it in a moments notice with everything else.
very much so yes i would have periods if i could
...
Quote from: TheHootersShow on May 23, 2012, 02:24:30 AM
None of you will ever understand what it's like to have a period. I thought being transgender was about embracing your femininaty not wanting to have periods. Girls don't even want periods. When my girl has a period, it means no munchkin love for me.
i never said i want a period , to be blunt the idea of bleeding from down there once a month seems scary/ disturbing to me and i wouldnt choose to have that
i just said ditto becuase im disturbed you admitted you go to a bathhouse to have sex becuase you have to wait a few days for sex while your gf is having her period
Quote from: TheHootersShow on May 23, 2012, 02:29:35 AM
Yeah, they allow me in there. Then I go swimming at the gym afterwards while she sits around all day playing the wii and fresh mouthing my daughter.
Sex During Your Period (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFP7jFeciBk#) this video might be of interest to you though lol
I would ^^, I get depressed sometimes knowing I will never be able to bear life from my own body. If someone said I could I would be really really happy.
I tell my gf all the time to trade with me :D
I take a steady dose of E-Pills, because while the shot is easier you still have to take spirol so its kind of moot. The mood swings caused by a lack of estrogen are not worth it to me.
If that's what it took me to be a genetic woman, I would take it.
Yes I absolutely would, and it would be a blessing.
If it meant I could get pregnant, then most defiantly. I want to be able to carry a child so bed. But, without being able to get pregnant, I dont see the benefit.
I totally would.
For me, its one of those things that i really, really want but i just cant.
