Another thing to mention is how HRT changes so much about people's sexual characteristics, including how their genitals function (when not talking merely about reproduction).
There are a LOT of things to mention, but this language thing holds us back.🤷‍♀️ https://twitter.com/confusedophan/status/1300161660339056641
Another thing that might be related to "only women menstruate" is "only men grow facial hair". It's not a medical issue, sure, but it has kept me confined to my apartment like some kind of monster for the vast majority of a year and a half now, so I cannot call it insignificant.
I had to mention it because this thread made me realize the damage this language thing has done to me.
I just finished crying on my hallway floor about that.
I can't just undo the damage for myself. No amount of "we can't tell"/"I don't see anything from here" will ever help me.
