"women are people who menstruate" oh fuck OFF, even IF you're only looking at cis ladies that's dumb as hell. You gonna say a little cis girl isn't female until she bleeds? That menopause kills femininity? That medical conditions preventing menstruation take away womanhood?

don't even get me started on object permanence around oophorectomies/hystorectomies!! "ah yes, a woman is someone who has these internal bits, and she can stay a woman even if they're removed because she's clearly unchanging, except when she's a child b/c puberty doesn't count"

"oh, but it's different if you CHOOSE to use the pill/have a hystorectomy, because then you're DELIBERATELY unwomaning yourself" oh so medical necessities just have to be tragedies now?? ladies just gotta feel sad about not being Real Ladies anymore if a bad thing happens??

here's a fun fact, did u know that trans women who take oestrogen experience basically the same hormonal cycles that drive the menstrual cycle in cis ladies, just without the bleeding? did u also know that men have hormonal cycles too from testosterone?? HMM..

I do not know how to explain to u that every word u know is a tiny circle someone drew around a concept with a mouth-sound way back when, in ONE culture, not an Absolute Truth. sometimes we learn stuff and have to eraser that shit out, or draw new lines, or make new mouth-sounds.
