As someone not steeped in Social Justice™ Twitter, you might not have been aware that November has been reappropriated by the LGBTQ+++™ social engineers as “Trans Awareness Month.”
Obviously, the whole, grueling month of June filled to the brim with child grooming wasn’t enough for them to express themselves.
From the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network viaTwitter/X:
“This month, we celebrate the beauty of trans identities and honor the resilience of our trans ancestors. Together, we rise up to protect and support trans youth.”
To commemorate it at Armageddon Prose, here’s a clip of a bearded gentleman recording a TikTok selfie video, seated on the ground and leaning against what appears to be a trash can, on the premises of Disneyworld, doubled over in pain by phantom menstrual cramps during his special lady time of the month.
“People want to say that I don’t experience PMS symptoms. [intensive breathing] But I’ve been cramping incredibly bad all day. And, at some point, my pain tolerance went away. And it started hurting incredibly bad for the last two hours, so much so that it made me go and throw up three times. So, yeah, PMS symptoms are ruining my Disney trip. [intensive breathing] Just ruining my Disney trip.”
That this gentleman should be made to suffer so is obviously some kind of transphobic hate crime by Disney, which failed to dispatch emergency medical personnel to tend to their wounded antelope as he writhed there next to that garbage bin for literal minutes. His only recourse was to record a TikTok video — and thank God he had his camera phone, or he might not be here with us today.
In addition to being unaware that we are in the throes of Tran Awareness Month, Deplorable MAGA domestic terrorist bigots might not know that men who transition totally get their menstrual cycles just like their cisgender comrades.
Trans women are women!
This is well-documented scientific fact; let’s not be biological essentialists.
Via Medical News Today:
“Transgender women do not experience typical menstrual periods. However, people may experience physical and emotional symptoms similar to premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
Transgender women may undergo gender-affirming treatment, such as hormone therapy. As a side effect of hormone therapy, they may experience symptoms similar to those of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
While some symptoms of PMS and PMDD are physical, others are emotional or psychological.”
