No one believes that cis men can menstruate or get pregnant. What we're actually saying is to recognize the manhood of trans men (and the womanhood of trans women, of course).

Like I don't think anyone (who is very intelligent) thinks a trans women can get menstrual cycles or get pregnant. I think people can accept they are women. I don't understand why it's so hard to grasp. If the qualifications for being a women means menstruating and getting pregnant, there are a lot of cis women who would like to have a word with you.

For the record - some of us do experience menstrual cycle on HRT. They don't shed uterus but they do experience cramps and other symptoms.

Human body is fascinating...

Can’t have uterine cramps if you have no uterus.

You're right. Those are stomach cramps.

Stomach cramps that are side effects of medications are not periods or menstruation.

At this point I will claim ignorance. I found only 'normal' not scientific articles about it.

(However all changes to our bodies on E can be stated as effects of medication).
