When I had my hysterectomy the doctor made sure I understood that it's permanent there's not undoing it. I looked at her and was like "Do people think you keep it on ice just in case or something? Of course it's permanent." She laughed. I laughed. Our uteruses laughed. Mine clearly didn't understand the danger it was in.
Lifehack for trans men : instead of spending time money and energy on HRT apparently all you need is to do is focus on your career and you'll have more testosterone
Eh it’s got a little science too it, won’t work for shit but the post is accurate. Women naturally produce some testosterone, nowhere near as much as men though. Testosterone is also a precursor for the body producing estrogen, both men and women need some in different quantities. High stress environments can cause interruptions in the hormone cycle in women, altering the production of estrogen, this can result in higher testosterone levels. But it’s not enough for it to have any androgenising effects, at most it’s just going to make the woman feel like crap due to the hormone imbalance.
That might be true, but typically "female" jobs can be also very stressful? Like being a nurse in intensive care or like watching 10 toddlers in a kindergarten. Or getting shouted at by customers in a sales jobs....
Literally everything to make it her fault, I could spew. Also he was just a kid.... Yeah, so he just raped anothernkid, that makes it bettet, also he was in college
Not only is it a red flag when women are called females, but I think it’s a double red flag when a person called women “females” and DOESN”T call men “males.” Like, beyond weird word choice, it underlines the intentional othering
Honestly, I remember I asked one of them why they was doing that and they answered 'nowadays you don't know who's a woman and whose not so you just say Female' like what kinda daft excuse is that? 😭
Woman is often used in a derogatory way where I live, though. Like men will go, “WOMAN!!” In place of using her name, saying it like it’s a curse word.
Oooh, this got me thinking... the essentialism of "female" is obviously to the determent of women, especially trans women. But I also realize that the lack of essentialism in "Man" is used against men, too. "He's not a real man, he eats seed oils and is monogamous." "Males" would still other trans men, which would be bad. "Man" is the better term. But the same guys who say "female" also use "man" to represent an exclusive club of real men.
Fun fact: it's illegal to restrict school uniforms based on sex in Poland, so if your school allows skirts, boys are allowed to wear skirts, and if your school allows shorts, girls are allowed to wear shorts. Shoulda challenged my middle school teachers informing them they're breaking the law.
@@JDMimeTHEFIRST I think this is a relic of PRL (Polish People's Republic), and they had no justification to remove many of these progressive things, meanwhile they can justify abortion ban by claiming it's for the good of the fetus.
Deadass. For a while, I was only focusing on my (mainly aesthetic) attraction to male characters/celebrities, so I figured I was gay, and then it occurred to me that a lot of my major (mainly aesthetic) crushes growing up were women and I'm attracted to a MUCH wider range of women than men. Men can be handsome/pretty/etc, but a LOOOT of women are. "Women glorious" indeed.
As a German: Yes, the "I see handing ou feminine hygiene products the same way as handing out alcohol to alcoholics and cigarettesto smokers." has been accurately translated. And I can make it worse! It wasn't just some guy who said that, it was a politician of a pretty big right-wing party that has been classified as extremist by some organisations, yet keeps gaining popularity all over Germany. (Performing as well as a lot of older, more established parties and even making it to third-best in elections). It's horrible.
not only by some organisations, part of the AfD are actually classified as extremist by the Verfassungsschutz (the highest ranking court in germany). As well as their youth organisation
Puberty is NONNEGOTIABLE. Puberty blockers need to be outlawed. Puberty is the mandatory stage of human friwth and developnent in which the child human grows up and develops into a full grown adult human whose bodily function is now capable to reproduce the next generation of human beings after adulthood is reached. PUBERTY IS MANDATORY FOR growth and development of brain, body organs, reproductive system and mental maturity in irdercto become an ADULT. Puberty blockers detrimentally stop this normal, healrhy developmental process of reaching puberty.
Even though, there are abnormalities in every aspect of nature and every aspect of the organs of the human body, every life form has value. Hiwever, sexual reproduction is mandated by NATURE to be binary of the opposite sex with a male and a female. Every normal, abnormal, abled body, and disabled body is valuable. But the kaw if natural selection states the strobgest with survive and pass along their gene pools to tne next generation. EMBRACE NATURE and your batural self.
The c-section thing hit me. It kicked me in the gut. I was a c-section baby because if I wasn't, I would've died. The umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck and I was facing the wrong way. There were NO other options. I would have died and my birth mom could have too. Having a life saving surgery that wasn't even her choice doesn't make her any less of a woman.
See according to a lot of fundie Christians you should have been left for fate. Like hey literally think your mom not being able to perform her only purpose means she failed God and is therefore worthless.
My OB/GYN has told me that if I ever got pregnant, she would automatically sign me up for a C-section. My family has always teased me about my “birthing hips”. My pelvic bone is very wide. Turns out, according to my doctor, the opening in my pelvic bone is also very narrow and tilted at an odd angle. I can’t wear tampons because my periods are too heavy, but I can only fit a small teenager’s size tampon in there. And even that hurts and feels like it’s going to fall out. I’m not putting it in wrong. It’s just how I’m built. Sex is either painful or I physically don’t feel anything, so that is not an enjoyable experience for me. People tell me all the time that I just haven’t found the right guy and it’ll magically be more enjoyable when I find the one. Nope! I’m just not built that way.
Frrr I’m in a wheelchair and I have to have c section because of my condition and it’ll be to much and could break my hips and when ppl say that stuff it hurts
I have never wanted children. I first asked for a hysterectomy at 16. This started years of "you're too young to know what you want" to "you might change your mind" or my personal favorite "your future husband might want kids." Eventually, I stopped asking. Then, I found out I just don't have eggs, so conception wasn't going to happen anyway. Still, no hysterectomy, because "why bother now?" So now, at 47, I had to have a terribly invasive and fairly risky six-hour open hysterectomy to remove a THREE-POUND fibroid. If any of the roughly dozen doctors I'd talked to over the years just did what I asked, it would have been a much easier surgery not fraught with any of my current complicating factors. TL'; DR - Women don't get to have our health decisions respected, or our experiences valued.
I bet there’s some fundamentalist out there who thinks that fibroid might have been a baby and how dare you! I’ve been asking for a hysterectomy since my 20s. I’m 44 now and I still get…”but you might still get married!” Nah. I’m good. I started my period when I was 9. I was wearing an underwire by 10. I went to a Catholic school, so no one knew what to do with me. My parents insisted that having large breasts made me unattractive and fat and that’s why I didn’t have any friends. I got a reduction when I was 23 only to find out that men like curves. I got made fun of for having “birthing hips”. According to my doctor, my pelvic bone is wide but the hole in the middle is extremely narrow and tilted at an odd angle. That’s why I’ve never been able to wear tampons. My periods are too heavy, but I can only fit the smallest size tampons up there. Even then, tampon still feels like it’s going to fall out and I’m not putting it in wrong. It’s also why sex isn’t an enjoyable experience for me. It either hurts or I don’t feel anything at all. My doctor said if I ever got pregnant, she’d automatically sign me up for a C-section. So now I’ve got scars all over my boobs. I’d never be able to lactate to breastfeed. I’ve lost that ability. I have no desire to have sex ever again because it doesn’t feel good. It’s not going to feel good. Why put myself through that let alone some poor guy who’s trying his best? I’m 44 and I still get lectured about how it’s not too late and don’t give up just yet! I’ve started whipping out pictures of my pets now when I get the talk. “Meet your granddaughter.” Tortoise. “Don’t roll your eyes at her! Where are you going??”
I am a trans man, but even before I realized my identity I was treated like this I have always had ridiculously bad periods (cramps so bad I throw up, bleeding so bad I could go through a Super Plus tampon in 2 hours-even making me anemic at one point, severe insomnia and sleep problems, hot flashes, and more as PMS symptoms) and when we went to the GYNO I was put on BC meds when I was young to help control it, but it never worked. I've tried 3 different pills, the Nuvaring vaginal hormones, the Nexplanon implant in my arm, the patches, the Mirena IUD, even at some points stacking multiple methods on top of each other because one wasn't enough Even on two BCs, my periods never stopped completely, but more pressing was that about a week before my period, I would get this absolutely awful experience I just called an "Episode" where I was nauseous and vomiting , unable to eat or even drink water, too nauseous to sleep, severe hot flashes and cold chills, dizziness, shakiness, impending sense that I was going to die, and more for 2-4 days I would just spend days (and nights because I couldn't sleep) every month curled up on the bathroom floor crying because of how awful I felt. It was so awful and my family watching me suffer got so bad that we agreed that if I ever got to the point where I had more "episode" days than normal days, my life wouldn't be worth living and I would end my existence. I have multiple other chronic conditions that leave me in constant pain and nausea and dizziness, but it was nothing compared to my episodes Because it was monthly, I went to 3 different OB/GYNs, because it was probably hormonal I went to an endocrinologist, and was then referred to an Endocratic Gynecology clinic at my local medical university. I also saw 3 different gastroenterologists(GI), with nobody having an answer. Because of the timing and the correlation, the best guess was some ovary malfunction. I begged and pleaded to get a hysterectomy+oophorectomy to end my Episodes but because I was 17, the OBs wouldn't even consider it, despite me suffering immeasurably and my other conditions making me not likely to be able to hold a pregnancy anyway. I also DID NOT want children (I'm autistic and could not handle the sensory overload) plus my other conditions are genetic and I'd NEVER want to see a child grow up in as much pain as I did. My partner at the time (now my husband 💙) also has many detrimental genetic traits in his family (scoliosis, severe asthma, type1 diabetes, severe allergy to mosquito bites, and more) so even with him standing beside me saying that HE didn't want children either (so they couldn't use the "what if your partner wants kids?? Stupid argument) they wouldn't even consider it. I suggested once that if my problem was the female hormones, what if I tried testosterone?? (Trans egg moment for sure) and she literally laughed in my face and told me what with my other conditions it would absolutely ruin my heart health (the links to T and heart problems is dubious at best) I just went on suffering for 4 years Deciding to try to get my health under control so I could maybe get an actual job, I go to a new (4th!!) GI and within 30 minutes he sent me home with a whole packet on Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, and there, on the second page it said that people with estrogen intolerances can often have their ovulation triggering their CVS The whole time I was intolerant to the hormones my body produced, and I had to go to so many doctors and fight for my right to be honestly considered instead of being brushed off I got on a Progesterone-only BC med that would help suppress the effects of Estrogen, and my "episodes" improved drastically, both in severity and duration, and I can actually do basic tasks while dealing with them *One trans realization later* I was terrified to talk to a doctor about getting on T because of what that OB said, I nearly cried the multiple times the week before because I was so scared I wouldn't get to transition medically the way I wanted Show up, have a long discussion with the provider, find out that that previous OB didn't know what she was talking about at all. This provider had the actual medical data, and it showed IMPROVEMENT OF SYMPTOMS in AFAB people with my condition being on testosterone. I literally cried when I was able to get a prescription for T, and it has already changed me so much more than I expected it to in little time. I guess because my body didn't really tolerate Estrogen, finally getting a hormone it can fully process worked wonders. I wonder now if a lot of my dysphoria and other problems were strengthened by not processing estrogen, but after only 2 months on T I already have more and darker hair (including on my face which I was told wouldn't happen for 6+months) and other changes that only make me happier and more secure in my identity. I am now pursuing a Hysto/Oopho through the "gender affirming" routes, but it's an absolute TRAGEDY that I, as an adult, cannot choose to get a (not really) elective surgery to drastically improve my medical health, because of some theoretical "future husband" that may or may not want children, and I am expected to not do what's best for me to bend to the whims of some theoretical interests of a theoretical man that "deserves" more control over my body than I have With being sick while having estrogen, it really feels like I was "meant" to be trans, all the compassion to women's experience to not make me misogynistic, as well as dating men as a "woman" and seeing their predatory/dismissive behaviors made me a better man, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I finally got the treatment I needed, but it's absolutely ridiculous that I had to weasel my way into other medical practices instead of being able to get the surgery I would need to live a happier life. If my husband had something wrong with his testicles that made him sick, he would NEVER be questioned other than the "this could make you infertile and you need to sign this so you cant sue me for it" waiver, they'd likely never even ask a man for their current partner's option, and so inventing some theoretical "future partner" would be absolutely unheard of. Why can't all humans be treated with equal value and full bodily autonomy???
@@ThatOneCorvusKing I never would have thought of having an intolerance to your own hormones! That doctor has probably encountered something like that before to actually recognize a condition that I’m guessing is very rare! Good for you for never giving up advocating for yourself! I’m on a Depo Shot right now because my doctor doesn’t want me having periods either. I started puberty when I was about 8 or 9 years old. My periods were like monsoon season. Instead of 3-5 days of period, I’d have about a week off my period every month. I didn’t get cramps really, but my IBS would get worse. Every day I’d go to school wearing my uniform skirt, a pair of boxers, 8 pairs of underwear, and 2-3 overnight pads. I’d have to change those pads every 2 hours. If I didn’t, I’d likely stand up to find a puddle on my chair. The school nurse started stocking up on pads just for me, but all she could get were liners or small ones for the average girl just starting. She had to use her own money to get overnights or maternity pads for me. She also couldn’t help me when I leaked. All she could do was rinse my shirt, let it dry a little in front of a fan, and send me back to class. Ah, Catholic school! I was anemic and on iron supplements by 13. I’d get up every morning, pass out, get ready for school, and eat something before catching the bus. I love my Depo shot. I tried other birth control treatments and I still had a period, but at least they were manageable and only lasted a week! I was shocked when I saw my doctor while on my period. It was a particularly light period for me and I was raving about how liberating it was! She gave me an exam and told me I was still bleeding entirely too much. She switched me to the shot right away and said she didn’t want me having a period at all. I was shocked! “This is a pretty light day though! You mean to tell me normal girls have even less than this and only 10 days is still too long?? And they don’t find a snack cup size of tissue clot in their pads every other day??” “Yeah. That’s not normal.” “Holy crap! And I thought this was an awesome next to nothing period!” The last time I had my period was during quarantine because I lapsed on my shot and I’m doing so much better! I never would have thought that someone could be intolerant of estrogen! Of all things! I don’t think that’s what I have, but your story is such an encouragement to trust your gut and keep advocating for yourself! Thank you for sharing!!
Every time I read or hear stories like this, I always remember that Ted Talk speech by Christen Reighter called "I don't want children -- stop telling me I'll change my mind". She expresses it so well. It's unfortunate & frustrating so many women are still treated this way.
Wonder how those same people would react if someone said “Boys school uniforms must reflect and enhance the crotch bulge” they’d probably be pretty disturbed.
Back in the 90’s I chatted with this girl going to a Catholic school, and she said her school instituted a gender neutral slacks and shirt policy because policing the skirt length for girls’ uniform had become a nightmare and staff felt uncomfortable breaking out the measuring tape to see much skin was exposed above the knee.
Yep, I went to a coed Catholic high school (in Canada) and while I was there, the entire Catholic school board was in the process of transitioning uniforms towards a gender neutral version where everyone wore pants. Girls at my school were constantly getting in trouble for uniform violations because their kilts were too short/high. Now everyone wears pants.
I went to a Catholic high school in the early 2000s and the year before I started they changed the girls uniform to pants only. We didn’t wear ties (the boys had to wear ties except when it was really hot outside at the end of the year-no AC except in the computer room!) and though at the time I thought it was a bad choice to take away skirts and skorts looking back all pants everything was pretty great
My brother once brought up the point about women not getting drunk or going out alone if they didn't want to get SA'd. Knowing I wouldn't get anywhere with the MEN SHOULDN'T BE A DANGER TO WOMEN IN THE FIRST PLACE argument, I just asked him how he'd feel if he couldn't do those things without the constant threat of being targeted and victimized. That seemed to get him thinking.
About 2 years ago, I was wearing a skirt and a guy I knew (we were not friends and still are not) tried to look up it to seek if I was trans. I'm not and it wouldn't matter even if I was. Another time about 7 months ago, I was waiting in a line and some guys walked past, looked me up and down, then one of them said "I hope she's not a minor" I am currently a sophomore in high school and 15 years old. I was 13 for the first one and 14 for the second. I do and have always looked my age. It disgusts me
I’m 17 and I look significantly younger than I am considering I have a baby face and I’m like 5’1. Still have had guys make weird remarks about me, but it was someone my age, I would be a hell of a lot more concerned if this happened to me…
@@PinkLemonadeRat I had 2 teachers at my middle school that were creepy the gym teacher made sexual comments to girls(including me as non binary afab) - there were rumors about him and no one wanted to have him as a teacher.(he eventually got suspended for 6 months and I think fired). The other teacher whenever he talks to girls he stares at their chest… their only 11 half the girls don’t have anything their. Ik for a fact he’s still working
Because I have ADD and zone out a lot and am Asexual people thought they could take advantage of me alone and so people I cared for tried protecting me as best as they could but sometimes there were times I was still alone and those were the times I got SA'ed a lot in highschool. Lots of "gay guys" and other strangers and stuff would come up and grope my breasts and I had one friend who "TACO"-ed me where he'd run up and literally "grab me by the you know what" which really hurt (and yes, I did defend myself every time and people defended me too if they saw it happen and this was in early 2000's and we would report it and teachers did jack crap, so... but it sucked. So I stopped wearing skirts after a few times of this happening and started doing the skirts/dresses over pants things because then I could still feel good but be protected.
The “your body belongs to god first and your husband second” is a pretty standard American fundamentalist Xtian thing. Many, many “how to be a godly wife” advice books and articles say exactly that. Still super gross, but not as rare a statement as I wish it was.
This is what I was going to say. It is, unfortunately, quite a common belief. Usually less explicitly stated but still something you'll run into in many Evangelical churches.
One of the reasons I stay away from religious people. Yall don't seem to understand that people can have negative experiences with religious people, and then get mad that we are literally weary of you. Learn to understand.
@@PlatinumAltaria What IS "education"??? You can either simply answer the question or admit that you don't know what "education" is. I'm only asking this cause MY education may not be the same as YOURS and YOU might feel the need to dismiss what I say or believe.
The whole belief women need to give birth vaginally and without meds to be a "real mom" is insane. I have heard moms telling other moms well you're not a real mom yet as you had meds and or you had a c-section. One woman even went as far as to say "Oh so you're an adoptive mom not a real mom." to a mom who had to have an emergency c-section to save her and her baby. When she tried to say no she's a real mom the other mom absolutely lost it. They claim having either of those doesn't allow for the natural processes to occur that make it so you can not properly bond with the baby therefore you are not a real mom. How anyone can believe that is insane and rude to all those moms who did what they needed to do to have a safe birth and to adoptive moms.
I had my kids vaginally. Like you are 'supposed' to to bond with them. Pft. Still ended up getting post partum depression with both and struggled to bond in the beginning. So even doinh it the 'right'way didn't work. So she should just mind her business...
@fart63 I'm so glad your sisters were able to get the help they needed. As long as mom and the baby/babies are safe that's what counts. I hope they both had speedy recoveries. One huge problem with babies is they grow up way too fast. It's fun watching them develop their own little or big in some cases personalities and watching them grow.
@artikulv731 I have known moms who had their babies the "right" way as they call it and were the worst parents ever. I 100% agree with you that you don't have to be the kids bio parent to truly love them. My sister has adopted several of our younger siblings and they are her kids now. They get the same amount of love and care as her bio kids do. Heck my friends kids look up to me as their parent and they don't care what anyone thinks about it either. I'm their family and have been there for them regardless of what they're dealing with that's how family should be.
Ig there was a brief time in high school when I bled neon green then 🤭 hell I've had split-dye too, what would that do? Crazy stuff. All that hair bleach and dye must have transed my gender 🤔

Unfortunately this could just as easily be a woman writing this. I still hope they stay single, because you know what life would be like for their children.
I had a partial hysterectomy (kept my ovaries) when I was 32. I was in a car accident a few years later and while in the emergency room, one of the questions I was asked was "are you pregnant?" I said no and the nurse was like "are you sure?" in a rather condescending way and I went "I HAVE NO UTERUS, YES I'M SURE!" She moved to the next question.
Years ago I was admitted to the hospital with uncontrolled vomiting due to a reaction to an antibiotic prescribed for a very painful UTI. At least that was the hypothesis. Pretty sure after the fact that it was a kidney stone. Anyway, after being asked if I was pregnant for the third time in 3 or 4 hours with the are you sure followup I finally lost my patience with people who can't be bothered to read the chart notes and replied, "Why, is there a star and 3 wise men outside? Stopped the nurse cold. "What?" "Well, I wasn't pregnant 3 hours ago when I was admitted and answered that question and I haven't had sex since then so either I'm still not pregnant or there's been a miracle." The only snark I've ever regretted was the snark not said.
@@ranuelthebard3751Hi, sorry to bother, but what do you think is the best way to approach this topic? I am a medical professional to be and usually it's hard to have a clear pregnancy diagnosis in the first months, so for me is kinda ok to double check if that's the case. Unless it's clearly impossible like in an hysterectomy as above. So sometimes even if a patient say no it could be an unknown pregnancy.
@@ScrokyTheFallen If it's unknown then it's unknown. The patient isn't going to have a sudden flash of insight when asked the second (3rd, 4th) time. In my case I'm Ace and was still a virgin even though I was in my twenties so barring supernatural intervention I was absolutely certain and to be honest it came across that either the nurses were too lazy to read the chart notes from when I had been asked that a couple of times before OR they thought I was lying and would crack and tell the truth if they asked often enough. I was leaning towards lazy but who knows. Maybe to an allosexual the idea that someone might just not be having sex is a hard concept to understand. If the patient says that they haven't had sex within the last say 3 or 4 months and there's no reason to believe they are lying then note that down and move on. If you really, really need to be sure give them a pregnancy test before whatever the procedure is that's a danger to a fetus.
Doctors and nurses in front of you don't know you. They usually don't think you are stupid but they also know that miscommunication is the stupidest error they could medically do. The second check is basically too ask " do you think you're not pregnant because you don't want to, you have a birth control (which is not 100% sure) or you don't have any signs in that sens? OR are you sure because you checked lately, you physically can't etc...? Many people will answer no to this question because they think they're not. Not because they are big immature babies, just because sometimes it's hard to know or to accept to be pregnant. I would double check too...
@@carolineseree4391 I know that birth control is not 100% effective. It was the nurse's attitude that bothered me. I had just been in a car accident and she was talking down to me like I was a simpleton. Don't appreciate that. And she could have asked "How are you certain?" rather than keep asking in her condescending tone "Are you sure?" Tone conveys a lot after all.
I had a hysterectomy about 12 years ago due to extreme endometriosis. My father says that I am not a woman because I do not have a uterus and ovaries. Pretty sad that there are so many closed minded people. There are so many ways to educate ones self in 2023. I try to educate myself on many issues so that I know certain things...I do not want people to feel bad. I love people and want to respect them.
That’s disgusting! I’m sorry your dad feels that way. A hysterectomy doesn’t make you less of a woman. You’re a woman regardless of what you do or don’t have.
I had a hysterectomy at 27, many years ago. I spent time on a website for women having hysts. One woman told me she was really struggling with her hysterectomy and wanted to know how I handled not being a woman anymore. I felt so bad for her. We wound up having a conversation about what makes a woman a woman. I don't think she understood what I was saying, sadly. For her, woman=childbearing. That leaves out any afab who is infertile. Is it genes? No, because there are all sorts of gene combos that produce a female-appearing body. So what makes a woman a woman? In my opinion, it's the mind. Sure, your genes are your genes, but that's just genetics. Who am I to tell someone else about their self-identy?
I suspect there is a scary correlation between people whose posts end up in Bad Women's Anatomy and people who insist sex ed should be taught at home, never in schools
Yeah. At the school my 3 kids went to, Sex Ed was taught by an actual nurse, to all of the middle school students. Same curriculum, regardless of gender. There was the option to have them excused. I had concerns about the parents who wanted their kids excused from it. I did not excuse any of mine. And if anyone is wondering, my kids (now grown up) are all different genders.
My school literally sent HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN home with a consent form for parents to sign if they wanted their kid to be exempt from sex ed classes. And it had stipulations too. So you could sign off on your literal teenager going to sex ed, but there was a box you could check if you wanted them to be exempt from anything 'too sexual', like diagrams of genitalia, talk about STDs, or pictures/videos of childbirth. And then people wondered why there were always like 7 pregnant students every year...
I came out to one of my friends today, and it went so well. They were so supportive, and its given me the courage to come out to the rest of my friend group. It really made my day
“A woman’s hair is her glory” is a biblical thing. As a thin haired girl who couldn’t really grow it long and couldn’t do anything trendy with it (beach waves lasted about 10 mins in my hair no matter how much product there was), it was something I disliked hearing in church. I was apparently a bad Christian simply for not having better hair genes.
I’m a middle easterner in the US so I always had the thickest, longest, shiniest hair on my head…and hair on my brows, apparently, because I got rude comments from other girls as a literal child about having a unibrow because I had like three tiny stray hairs in the middle of my brows 😐 they like long hair…as long as it’s in the right place and just that right place 🤦♀️
What bothers me so much is that using this to say that women MUST have long hair and men MUST have short hair is cherry picking the text. What about Samson, who, as a part of his religious oath, could never cut his hair, and lost all the strength in his body when is was done against his will? Does he mean nothing to them? People simply use the Bible to enforce their own cultural norms and stereotypes and condemn anyone who dares fall outside of them.
that is terrible. I got shamed from my church for cutting my hair to the length of my brothers hair and he has pretty short hair. Just wait until they find out im a nonbinary satanist 🤣🤣
When they say Vagina Bones, it's transphobes who don't believe that men have pelvises. I don't understand it either. Also Thank you Jamie for helping me laugh today ❤
I quote the vagina bones post regularly, it makes me laugh so much. I’m just astounded as to why the person didn’t realise they themselves should also have vagina bones on their body.
Actually vagina bones is a meme. it's just referring to the hip/pelvic bones and the v shape on a person's pelvis. It's used ironically to refer usually to women but sometimes men. I promise you that one isn't transphobia or bad women's anatomy. The joke is that they made Link 'sexier' than necessary, not that he's secretly a woman or AFAB or something.
Acting like period pains are all normal and the same are how people who have conditions like endometriosis and PCOS go undiagnosed for years. We actually shouldn't act like, "Oh yeah, these intense pains I'm experiencing are a totally normal part of menstruation, because everyone tells me so," and instead should be having girls get checked for these conditions at a young age.
Yep. That's why it took me four doctors to find someone who took "I pass out from my cramps" seriously. They would just chuck birth control at me and suggest I try ibuprofen, you know the thing I'd already told them did squat. And I'm trans as well. But doc#4 did give me a hysterectomy and the pain was a joke compared to my periods. I was basically just sore and tired, and even took fewer narcotics after surgery than I did for several periods.
@@KaleighCee Not necessarily true. I had pretty bad cramps and went through several types of painkillers over time as they would stop working. The only thing I found that didn't stop working was Advil. The bad cramps were a result of endometriosis, which involves inflammation; I think the Advil worked because it is an anti-inflammatory.
the "i squeeze my girl when she's on her period because she's my little ketchup packet ❤️" lives in my brain rent free and it kills me every time i think of it lmao
As a German, I can confirm the translation is accurate. Edit: Also from what I know it was about a city providing free menstrual products in secondary schools, city hall and a couple more public places.
btw that guy who said that thing about their profile seems to be posting it under multiple other comments (including mine). maybe we can report it bc they just say the same thing over and over so it might count as spam
@@ally31098yeah I noticed that too. It's hard to know what category to report them in. Because they're trying to incite bullying and/or hate speech and also somehow advertise their channel. The ones I've seen so far, people have refrained from engaging in arguments with that commenter. Engagement is what they want you to do. And they want you to click on their profile to say nasty things back to them. Any advice on which reporting category will get through TH-cam that these are inappropriate posts?
2:25 "Girls need blouses and skirts to reflect their biological differences?" Really? Well, I'm a cis girl, and I wear the "boys' uniform" (shirt, tie and trousers) at my school rather than the "girls' uniform" (blouses and skirts) even though almost all girls at my school wear the "girls' uniform". So, are you telling me I need to wear a skirt? But it has no pockets!
But vaginas need air! Trousers make vaginas cranky, and eventually they grow eyes and teeth and go on a vagina rampage. You know, destroying buildings, looting shopping centers, devouring men.... utter chaos.
One time my friend told me I wasn’t a real woman because I didn’t want to use a tampon. A FEMALE friend… Dawg, I’m literally bleeding rn so if you could please stfu about how I chose to deal with it that would be splendid.
Actually, tampons can cause this thing called "toxic shock" where all your organs start shutting down one by one 😁 It's pretty rare, but it has happened. The chance increases it you are sick at the time! So technically pads are the safer option! So just tell your friend that She is more likely to die from toxic shock. (I would have looked up the statistics but I can't get off my ass rn lol)
My periods were so heavy and had lots of clots, that I couldn't use a tampon. The clots would coat the outside of the tampon and I bleed through. The inside of it would be dry. I checked because it would leak in about a half hour. I wanted too, needed to found out if I was really bleeding that heavy. I had to go to pads.
wait what were you using then? pads? i feel like that'd be more "real" considering you're letting it bleed naturally. or something else? Don't actually know of any other products that aren't just variations on pads
This was big in my high school. I was the only girl that everyone knew used pads and I was shamed mercilessly for not using tampons. Come to find out two other girls who had been part of the shaming actually only wore pads but they kept it more hidden than me. So.
See I had the opposite issue in middle school when the girls I was talking to said your a whore and a slut for using a tampon. I was like wut??? So I’m a slut cuz I don’t wanna blood all over the place and staining my pants??
The German one is pretty accurately translated. Some German cities are trying to make hygiene products more accessible by having designated places people with periods can go and get them for free. But a lot of people (especially men) are not happy with that. And even worse the man who said that is a politician
My son recently had sex educatiton at school, they still separate the classes and only bother to teach minimal information on periods and the uturus to one half. Knowing that grown men cannot grasp that urine and period blood do not come out of the same hole, I made sure to teach him everything on my own so he doesn't become a moron that believes babies float around in a bladder full of piss.
That is insane. Sex education is very important. I went to school in the 1980s and it wasn't even an issue. I really don't understand places and countries that don't do this.
Dear internet commenter, your comment has made burst into a fit of laughter for a good five minutes, thank you so much for the much needed laugh after reading so many soul breaking testimonies
When I was in uni, I got my period while I was hanging out with friends, and one asked me why I couldn't "just hold it in." He was a PRE-MED BIO MAJOR. I was so close to telling him, "Dude, you should NOT become a doctor."
when i was (a girl) in high school all i ever wore were flannel shirts and the baggiest jeans i could find. pretty sure any random dude would have been just as comfortable in my wardrobe. i did not "need" skirts or specially tailored pants to "reflect my biological differences." put me in a tarp, i'm happy.
i find it very interesting how often the notion of just... coping with not having kids you might want is utterly incomprehensible to people. like women will get their tubes tied and people will be like "WHAT IF YOU GET DIVORCED AND REMARRY AND YOU WANT MORE KIDS WITH YOUR NEW HUSBAND?!?!?" well what if i want a porsche, susan, we don't always get what we want.
I'm from a country where uniforms separated by gender are common, and I always thought they were silly because of a great detail, the weather, here the cold starts in September and ends in April, I include the rainy season, the cold is so bad it was normal to see elementary school girls shivering, so at the request Angry Mothers we got months in which we can wear pants, and even then it is not enough just the month of December and January, some schools don't let you enter the building if you are wearing pants after those two months. there were girls who pretended to be male students at the entrance to continue wearing pants and others jumped the back fence of the school to enter and the biggest slap in the face or "solution" waa the school was to saying that thick socks would solve everything, white socks of course, they would do something against the rain, mud & freezing cold, o an no leggings, they were not allowed. My mom ignored that recommendation and bought 5 pairs of white leggings and shoes that would hide that they were legins so that I wouldn't freeze to death, and yes I was part of that group of girls that jumped the school fence to take my classes, they were not going to deny me my education for something as silly as a uniform. It wasn't until I entered university that I could be warm in winter, because from kindergarten to high school you wore a uniform.
I had to have 2 c-sections because my pelvis wasn’t wide enough I received abu$e on Facebook from Christian extremist groups who stated that I wasn’t a real woman, I wasn’t a real mother and I had shamed myself in the eyes of god…🤦🏻♀️ I broke my back when I was 15 and it was all Lumbar spine, pelvis and coccyx damage. So that’s why my pelvis was not able to open during childbirth. But apparently I should have not been al!ve rather than had a caesarean….actual things said to me …. Incredibly misinformed, arrogant, and cruel 😢
A friend of mine had a coworker who actually thought that women could control their bleeding while menstruating, like we can control our bladders. So he considered women who use feminine hygiene products lazy and didn't understand why we could't just potty-train. Which was why he was against a menstrual pad-dispenser in the ladies' room at work.
21:30 “this only happens to women”. I cried laughing at this because I (f) had a hook up with a guy who told me “do not get attached to me, women always do after these things” and I was like “umm I’m not but okay”. The next day I had 0 emotions over him and he was spam texting me begging me to come back and that he loved me etc
Someone earlier in the comments stated confidently that this one is literally true, I think in response to Jamie saying he doesn't buy into it. I considered replying but had a rush of common sense (just don't go there). I suppose the corollary is that gay men can't bond because no oxytocin? Or something?
Yep, sometimes actors are so disappointing to me with their normal short hair :D I enjoy that the movies I watch have so many long haired men... Some are very handsome with short hair too but I like most better with long hair as long hair suits my taste better. My SO is male and always had long hair (except as a kid). He skipped military service partially to keep his long hair... He would look way worse without it.
My mom had 4 c-sections. The first 2 were because of medical emergencies that would have killed my siblings while she was in labor. The second 2 were because her uterus was too scarred from the first 2 c-sections. When people say you have to give birth through labor to be a real woman, I get so mad in particular because my mom is badass.
My mom had to have a total hysterectomy after having me. Not trying to trauma dump,just explain why they decided this was the best option for my mom; She had a tumor that I hid when she was pregnant with me. It ruptured during my birth and almost killed her right after (she was taken into surgery and had to have 2 blood transfusions) and several more times over the next 2 years (in and out for 13 operations in my first 2 years of life) so with all that taken into consideration, it made sense. It's definitely not a good feeling knowing your life almost cost your mom's, I'll tell you that much.
No, it doesn't feel good, let me tell you. But what does feel good is when your mother makes it feel like it was a war bringing you into this world and that you're essentially a prize to have been won and you were worth it despite the fact you feel worthless (like I do, born with birth defects and being disabled mentally and physically my whole life). My mom was in labor 18 hours with me due to her doctor trying to force her to birth me via broken hips cause of his religious beliefs. Another doctor overwrote him when we both died on the table and then did a c-section. We both came out with issues and she's still suffering like I am to this day; her with a bunch of hernias and hypertension and me with all sorts of disabilities. She had my 2 sisters and talks about how it was worth it even though we feel so horrible.
OMG such Hornswoggle! I am cis female, I had both poly- cystic ovarian disease & endometriosis, both which increased my testosterone, I gave birth to 3 beautiful children and as soon as I was done having kids my cervix tried to kill me so they took it all out. The fact that so many people are so ignorant out in the world is scary! Have people never seen a male and female skeleton side by side? Both have a pelvis. Back in the day Elvis was called Elvis the pelvis...... SMH
Ironically, the "vagina bones" is commonly called an Adonis belt or an Apollo belt (though I'm not about to tell Apollo he can't have a vagina if he wants one). In art, it's called the iliac furrows, it's where muscles run from your iliac crest to your pubis. Greek statuary featured it heavily. It is usually associated with men, particularly body builders. I've never heard it called a vagina bones before!
0:47 the part where he said "some women are trans... there is no right or wrong way to be a woman" that hit hard, I am a transgender masc not fem but I love that you included that AND referred to trans women as the REAL women they are.
One thing I find funny is the fact that some people insist that women should wear skirts because that’s just for women. But anatomically speaking men should wear skirts and women trousers.
@StopSinI hope this gives you a notification, which makes you think someone finally sided with your dog-shit ideas, but then you realise that it’s just another person who hates you.
A while ago I was having one of those "What is a Woman" discussions here on TH-cam, and I asked a transphobic guy to define a woman for me, since I don't have a precise definition that is able to fit every woman. The most absurd thing he said was that women had two pelvis... I laughed so hard I couldn't even breath!
"Digestion isn't painful." Uh... yes, it is. I have stomach problems that I've been dealing with since I was a child. Digestion is painful for me. Sometimes it's really painful.
There's a literal study where you swallow Barium so they can see how your digestion works due to conditions like hEDS. I work fine mostly but food goes down very slow in my esophagus (GERD) and causes issues due to my hEDS and I have done the Barium Swallow test and it was weird yet fun. So yes, digestion can be painful. IBS-M is what I have. People are idiots.
I once bleached my hair by accident (peroxide hair gel what?), but luckily I hadn't started my period yet. To this day I shudder to think how close I came to death 💀
@@Nakia11798 oooohhhh.... That DOES make a little bit more sense. Maybe that's what they meant in the quote shown at 16:30. (Otherwise it really is unfathomable to me how the "toxins" would enter the blood stream from underneath the scalp, but only during that time of the month...)
What the actual eff on the "it's biologically necessary for female children to wear skirts"??? I'm AFAB nonbinary and the only memories I have of skirts in school uniforms is being extremely uncomfortable in them even before I started realizing I had gender dysphoria. Like, there was an element of literal uncomfyness as well as just feeling upset. I didn't have "proper birthing hips" lol I was twelve. Not everybody has the perfect cliche gendered body even after puberty either! I've always been unable to fit into "women's" shirts because I just happened to be born with wider shoulders than most men. So it's just absurd to me to think of forcing kids to wear skirts out of a bizarre patronising "it's better for you sweetie~" excuse... Felt way more comfy literally and mentally once I transferred to a school that let you choose trousers!
@@VeryScaryCherri Yeah I always wear long skirts for that reason, I'm very not aware of what my body's doing and how it looks at any given time. Short skirts are just a ticking time bomb for me to forget I'm not wearing something sensible and doing something embarrassing...
what's worse is that if you had the hips for it the skirt would be unwearable by itself anyway. Its actually really hard to tailor things vaguely to the supposedly expected extremes.
I've had bowel spasms/cramping in the actual intestines and that's actually pretty damned painful (this happens to me because my neurological system is messed up, but it's not the ordinary movement of the intestines). As someone whose period pains were always mild, that was far worse for me. There's a range of pain from periods, and people with severe pain shouldn't be treated as if their pain is mild just because it is for some people. Though fun fact: a fair amount of period cramping isn't from the uterus but instead from the abdominal muscles, so some people experience severe cramps even post hysterectomy or having been born without a uterus but having certain hormonal ranges.
In my high school we all had the same uniform regardless of gender however we used to have an option to wear skirts or pants (well before my time) and the reason they banned skirts was because the boys were filming up girls skirts as they walked up the stairs. So very great of them to ban skirts instead of telling boys not to be perverts. I was a bit mad that we were the ones who had to pay for the actions of perverted boys. I would have liked to have a skirt as an option. Though only as an option, I would hate it if it were mandatory
Hello from Germany ☺️ I would translate: In my opinion handing out period products to women is equivalent to handing out alcohol to alcoholics and cigarettes to smokers. So yeah the point came across right. The worst thing is a politician said that and the party he is part of has gotten over 15% in recent regional/state elections. I don't know what to say I hate the direction things are going in Germany right now 😐😔
humans, especially in hot climates, have actually cut or fully shaved their hair really far back in human history. it helps deal with the heat and lice
Yeah. No scissors are really necessary. I remember learning somewhere that the first shaving razors were sharpened sea shells. Was a long time ago, so I may remember wrong about it being the first, but it predated metal blades.
Yeah, I‘m German and I can confirm the translation. I mean, in the original german text it doesn‘t actually say if it‘s about hygiene products, but, since it’s said by a member of the AfD, I can imagine it is.
They’re saying it as if a female’s genitals are an actual mouth that can just suck on a mans genitals. When the mouth is on the head, not between a girl’s legs. Like GIRLYPOP WHAT- ARE GIRLS SUPPOSED TO HAVE TWO TONGUES AND TWO SETS OF TEETH?! IS THAT YOUR SEGGS FANTASY?! Female genitalia is like that because it’s built for females to be able to conceive and carry children and give birth. While male genitalia is built to impregnate.
Thing is, there was ALMOST a good joke hidden in the blood one: "Don't give anyone your blood. They'll just throw it away after 120 days!" (120 days is the average lifespan of a red blood cell.)
I was actually thinking along those lines when I saw that one (I didn't remember the blood cell lifespan- thanks for the reminder). People who post this stuff have absolutely no idea.
the "dyeing your hair on your period" reminds me of a girl in middle school, who asked the teacher, if she'd dye her hair the same colour over and over again, would her children then get that hair colour. and I just can't 🤣
In my school, we started off with culottes for "the girls" and then moved on to impractical skirts in Year 9. Even though they were technically roughly the same length (a little bit above the knee) and I still identified as a girl back then, I was incredibly uncomfortable having to wear the skirt. Why? I was raised Christian and I was insecure about my body. The boys meanwhile were wearing long trousers
The thing about the menstrual cyrcle being painful to "train your body for birthing" is something I actually believed until my girlfriend informed me in great shock that "no, it's painful because you basically have internal bleeding. On the other hand, a boy from her class asked during sex ed if the blood during period "comes out like a splatter movie".
It's not internal bleeding. It's uterine contractions pushing out the uterine lining. It's the same mechanism as childbirth contractions, but it's not in preparation for it. It's just the body doing the same thing.
Not really? The lining of the uterus thickens as it prepares for a fertilised egg to implant. When that doesn't happen, the lining just sloughs off. That's not the painful part. The uterus has to contract to push that lining out. Prostaglandins (which is kind of like a hormone, but isn't exactly) triggers the muscles of the uterus to contract. This substance is also associated with pain and inflammation, and people with higher levels of prostaglandins tend to have more severe menstrual cramps. Edit: And that's even before you get into the painful issues caused by stuff like endo, uterine fibroids, PVD, adenomyosis (when the uterine lining grows INTO the wall of the uterus), and cervical stenosis (when the opening of the cervix is smaller than usual and makes it harder for menstrual fluid to pass, resulting in a painful pressure increase in the uterus)
I don’t think it’s internal bleeding, or at least my education basically said that the lining of the uterus comes off. Shit’s nasty either way, gonna ditch having a period as soon as I legally can.
@@darax723 That's what I was about to explain. Some of us are unlucky enough those darn prostaglandins can cause soreness and cramping no where near out uterus, like legs, and even arms and shoulders.
It actually can raise my hope because it shows a lot of people realizing how wrong these things are. Growing up I was surrounded by bigotry, but not a lot of dissenters to bigotry, so it’s nice to find counter opinions and remember the world isn’t all out to get people. Bigotry something we can analyze and counter
@@hatchetfieldharpie3276 This exactly. That nonsense was around for way too long in modern history and us being able to point it out as nonsense and laugh about it and do some education while we're at it, is a very good sign it's finally going uphill! Albeit way too slooooowly!
I couldn't be a teacher because I'm not asking permission to teach basic sense, sex ed and anatomy. This subreddit just shows me that education should be mandatory
I absolutely loved what you said about uniforms. As a kid I had to walk quit a long way to school. In winter my knees would get chapped. They would peel and even bleed because of the school's rules about not wearing tights under the mandatory skirt.
I'm a trans guy. I got my hair cut short because I was convinced that having/wanting long hair invalidated my gender identity. I know better now. I'm growing it out again so I can put hairsticks in it because I'm allowed to do whatever the hell I want with my hair. I am glad I cut it, though. It turns out that some of my father's genes include the tips of my hair getting all curled up when it grows back. It looks so soft and fluffy.
Aw, yeah my hair does that, too. I think I got it from my dad, too. I’m a woman and would LOVE to have short hair, but my hair grows so freaking fast that it’s impossible. I get it cut as short as I can get it every time I go to get it cut, but it’s always very short lived. I personally think short hair on a woman has zero effect on how feminine they look
@RosyKitteh Jealous! Even before I realized I was trans my hair never got as long as I wanted it. I would always get as little trimmed off as possible and still barely got it past my shoulder blades. I had been growing it since I was little, originally to donate to my mom's friend who had cancer. She died before that could happen, unfortunately. I always said I wanted Rapunzel-length hair. I also think short hair on women looks completely fine.
Yeah I cut my hair short for a while until my hair grew out a bit and I started dressing better. Realised longer hair makes me more masculine! Now I have a mid length mullet thing, it looks awesome
I'm female and, like many people in Spain, gave myself a "Pandemia head shave" during the lockdowns. My hair went through the "I just started my military service" phase and through the "high and tight phase" and through the "I'm a 3-year old boy" phase... I LOVED IT ALL.
@NavaSDMB I once butchered my hair when I was really little. I mean, I just went at it with a pair of scissors. My mom had to fix it, and it ended up being barely past my ears. That was actually my trans awakening. I saw myself with short hair, realized I was boy (because my understanding of gender was really shallow back then), and then immediately went into the boy's bathroom at school. I believe I even managed to use a urinal successfully. Unfortunately, another boy saw me and told a teacher. She asked me what the hell I was doing, and when I said, "I'm a boy." she looked me dead in the eye, laughed, and said, "No." Cue about 7 or so years of unidentified general discomfort.
To be honest, I'm actually surprised they didn't say that a woman's body belongs first to God, then to her husband, THEN to her future kids, and eventually maybe a little bit to herself (I guess on alternate Thursdays but only on leap years), but I suppose I've read/heard too many of those unbelievably infuriating and depressing "that's not how women work" lists.
I had the same thought. I suppose a woman's body belonging to her husband amounts to the same thing since she's giving her husband those children. Ugh. That quote sounds like the Transformed Wife. Double ugh.
5 years ago I buzzcut my hair and I did get a few strange reactions from people. Because it's perfectly normal for a guy to buzzcut their hair but aparently not for a woman. 5 years later I still buzzcut my hair because I love it and I feel sexy with my super short hair, and everyone who doesn't agree with it can piss off!

So… my mom was always the top earner in the family, pretty tough and pragmatic and the boss at home. My dad is a bit on the softer side, he’s rather artistic and sensitive. They have a great relationship, have been happily married for almost 40 years and successfully raised two sons, one of them is even cishet. It’s almost like people are individuals with differing levels of what society deems as masculinity/femininity 😱
Yea, what I have observed is that society doesn't see the bigger picture of femininity and masculinity and chose shoves things into those categories when they could also at times be put into the other. By today's standards the hardworking housewife would be considered masculine. There are women that are tomboys but they are still feminine, just with their own personality. I would also like to add that masculinity should be determined by a man's fatherlyness and how he makes sure his family is provided for, even if that means being a stay at home dad because some women have good jobs and make a decent amount of money that the father should just take care of home and kids. They both provide. Sorry about my paragraph, just needed someone agreed with to say it to if you ever see it.
As well as being creepy and inappropriate, I feel like the bit about school uniforms is actually them saying the quiet part out loud: that humans aren't THAT sexually dimorphic, and we often need other cues to inform us of whether someone is male or female. It's not that "females" NEED to wear blouses and skirts, it's that misogynists need "females" to be disallowed from wearing anything else, so they can gender people as Women or Men more easily. (also that bit about women "worshipping Satan" just made me think like...note to men, please don't confuse your niche sexual interests with facts that you can use to generalise people with, good LORD)
Its not even like blouses make a difference. They're literally cut to the same pattern but with the button placket on the other side. Even on hot days I wouldn't take my jumper off because the blouses supposedly designed to fit boobs didn't fit mine and I was only a 32C at the time. There was gaping between the buttons. Granted my bust is very high set on my chest so some of the issue could've been that all the space they did have was situated far lower down, but there certainly wasn't this amazing amount of space for boobs comoared to the boys shirts.
I am a post-op trans woman. My last gynaecologist, during an internal examination, looked up at me while I was lying there with my legs in the air. “When did you have your hysterectomy?” She asked me. Yay! I thought. How affirming. She didn’t know I was trans.
@@emmata98hoping it’s a joke. the doc needs to know stuff like that. no way i can just waltz into a docs office and not let them know i have a uterus when most people ID me as a man
I love stories like that! having your gender be seen as so normal and natural is great. I met my transmasc friend years BEFORE he realized his gender identity, and I introduced him to other friends I had AFTER he was already fully presenting male and making his legal identity to reflect who he is. my friends didn’t even know he was trans until after a year of knowing him, and that really made me so happy. he’s never been treated differently than the cis straight guys (which is what almost the entire circle of friends is made up of) and after knowing him for so long it makes me super glad to see him truly being himself. he’s been on T for a year now (we all celebrated last month!) and is getting top surgery in a few weeks, it’s awesome. shoutout to logan ❤
I accidentally dyed my blood green, for a month I was worried they would think I was an alien, so on my next period I dyed my hair red to reverse the process.
12:50 it's in the Bible, that a woman's body belongs to her husband. In the same verse it says that a man's body belongs to his wife. So there's nothing unfair or demeaning to women in this concept.... It's basically telling married people that they can no longer just do as they wish, that they've made a commitment to one other person, and that person has as much say as they do... so like, ethical non monogamy? Sure.... sneaking and cheating, no.
1:34 Ok, this whole ‘Corsets represent the rigidity of society’ discourse in the media needs to stop. It’s usually misrepresented and also, I’m sure people in every age knew that making the supportive garments tight is a problem. That’s why they had huge petticoats once upon a time to give the illusion of a tiny waist.
Exactly, there were a lot of working class women that really couldn't actually wear that safely for work. And besides, some of those garments were more for support than anything.
People who insist on men and women being so physically different need to stop thinking everyone is either a buff chad or an antique vase, the average human is quite similarly shaped across the board.
I'm afraid medically/biologically speaking that is very untrue. In fact, it's a huge problem in medicine and even things like car crash test dummies that there's only ever 1 "average human" model that doesn't take into account key differences in XX-chromosome biology.
@@annedreikandt7361well if were going down to chromosomes then yeah but when were talking about normal body functions then no, everyone is ofcourse medically different not only because of sex but because of genes, illnesses, allergies and so much more, when people say there isnt a difference between men and women, mean it as in they can have the some work, experiences, love, and alot of bodily functions
@@annedreikandt7361 I didn't say there aren't differences. There are and they should be taken into consideration on the contexts where they matter. My point is that these differences are not as extreme as one would be led to believe by seeing the idealized version of a man and woman by our collective conscience. Extremes that for most people are unattainable given they demand a specific genetic, an unsustainable lifestyle and a whole of costly and risky treatment and procedures.
This is so sensible! Also why there is no particular reason to have “Mens’ clothing” and “Womens’ clothing” in terms of physicality. It’s more about status (wearing the trousers), and restricting movement (corsets, petticoats etc). Fun for us all to get dressed up now and then though, in whatever we like.
Wow! So I have just to dye my hair blue during my period and I’ll grow naturally blue hair from that moment on! No more gray hairs, so much saving from the hairdresser!
Off topic but ...I recently got a new job , in the office theit is a set of drawers full on sanitary products for periods . My manager labelled it as " some women have periods some women dont some men have periods some men dont , help yourself whenever you need i love you all" . As a CIS person i felt so happy that everyone was included, we have trans people where i work and inclusive toilets and i just love that everyone is safe and loved, where I now work❤ ❤❤
As someone with IBS yes you can feel the process of digestion and it can cause pain and discomfort. That's one reason people believe those of us with IBS have such a bad time... Our brain doesn't block it out or we're more sensitive to it.
IBS pain is actually from the colon, where the muscle is contracting. The stomach is lined with a thick layer of mucus which stops the walls from getting digested, so you're only ever in pain if that layer goes away, which it can rarely.
@@PlatinumAltariaI have IBS as well, and I can actually tell what parts of my tummy is hurting, yes. There's a difference between stomach pain and intestines pain. I most often experience colon related pain and digestive difficulties, but if I happen to eat something and that my body will reject it, I can assure you that the pain will be coming from the stomach way earlier it'll be coming from the guts. 😭
If menstrual pain was motivation for breeding than pregnancy and birth would NOT be painful. This is the stupidity that is so pervasive in our world 😢😢😢

I agree with you so hard with the uniform one. I also saw something on Reddit on how sometimes the people see as "uniquely trans" problems when actually they can just be "human problems". My work have a uniform. We have a portal where you order uniform online (like free shopping 🎉) when you need something. I am a cis woman and the old system had me as a female and I could only order "female" uniform. The "female" uniform is more tight with a defined hip and waist. I probably could have called someone and said "please can I have "male" t-shirts or fleeces as I really hate my clothes touching me but I was a bit scared to. We now have a new system and I can order whichever uniform that I like and I can't describe how much more comfortable I feel.. I think there is still a way to go as it is still labelled "male" and "female" but I completely agree with you. Let's just have a uniform. If you want to pick the more fitted tops, go for it, if you want to pick the more "unfitted" version then go for it (might need a better name than unfitted....)
I relate to this so much, my school had totally nuteral uniforms and I loved it! But I was in a club that had gendered uniforms and I hated it the woman's pants literly didn't fit me at all
It would also be nice if there was an option for some definition and shape, but not clinging to my body. It feels like the options are one extreme or the other. Also with t-shirts, if you want a fitted one it has to come with stupid half sleeves. Can I not have a fitted t-shirt with proper sleeves please?
The uniform shirts my company uses are, interestingly enough, basically the same measurements for men’s and women’s, but the men’s are a lot longer. I have a long torso, so I have to wear camisoles under the women’s ones. Then I got some men’s ones and that helped a lot.
"Long hair is only for women!" Tell that to the indiginous who pride themselves in their long hair. 😂 Edit: I want to thank everyone in the comments for adding onto my own comment! Anyone who believes long hair is important counts. Its sad some of our ancestors were forced to cut their hair.
@@tombsofak Exactly. Its spiritual and sacred. Many tribes have different beliefs when it comes to their hair but the one thing they agree on is that it connects them to their ancestors. I wish I had been raised by that side of my family.
The idea that surgeries/injuries/body modifications change your genetics is bizarrely common. I'm an amputee, and the amount of times people have asked me if my baby will have legs and if they'll have my scars after being told I was not born that way never ceases to be funny to funny to me. I'm looking forward to the added layer of confusion my top surgery will cause lol

After being addicted to menstruation for 27 years (I get it every 22 days, can you believe?) I will finally be cured next year when I get a hysterectomy! Can't wait!
Congratulations. The medical field shouldn't be gatekeeping hysterectomies. Just sign the waiver that says you can't sue and you are doing this of your own free will.
It's disgusting that the one person was so obsessed with children's school uniforms accentuating their breasts and hips... Like GROSS. That's predator behavior! Also, whenever someone victim blames R victims, I always link the "What Were You Wearing" exhibit to them. Finally, the "you can't be Christian and believe in menopause" is a really gross reference to how God in the Bible made multiple women past menopause able to have children in order for them to fulfill the value ascribed to them by the patriarchal systems of their time.
When I had my hysterectomy the doctor made sure I understood that it's permanent there's not undoing it. I looked at her and was like "Do people think you keep it on ice just in case or something? Of course it's permanent." She laughed. I laughed. Our uteruses laughed. Mine clearly didn't understand the danger it was in.
I love how this reads like a WTNV post lol

Lifehack for trans men : instead of spending time money and energy on HRT apparently all you need is to do is focus on your career and you'll have more testosterone
does this work in reverse? asking for a friend
It's true I gained 20 lbs of muscle by programming hard enough and I didn't need HRT at all everyone else is just too beta (/s)
Eh it’s got a little science too it, won’t work for shit but the post is accurate.
Women naturally produce some testosterone, nowhere near as much as men though.
Testosterone is also a precursor for the body producing estrogen, both men and women need some in different quantities.
High stress environments can cause interruptions in the hormone cycle in women, altering the production of estrogen, this can result in higher testosterone levels.
But it’s not enough for it to have any androgenising effects, at most it’s just going to make the woman feel like crap due to the hormone imbalance.
The grind 💪
That might be true, but typically "female" jobs can be also very stressful? Like being a nurse in intensive care or like watching 10 toddlers in a kindergarten. Or getting shouted at by customers in a sales jobs....
"He was drunk when he assaulted her, so it's not really his fault." but, "She was drunk when he assaulted her, so it's her fault."

Not only is it a red flag when women are called females, but I think it’s a double red flag when a person called women “females” and DOESN”T call men “males.”
Like, beyond weird word choice, it underlines the intentional othering
And dehumanization
Honestly, I remember I asked one of them why they was doing that and they answered 'nowadays you don't know who's a woman and whose not so you just say Female' like what kinda daft excuse is that? 😭
Woman is often used in a derogatory way where I live, though. Like men will go, “WOMAN!!” In place of using her name, saying it like it’s a curse word.
Oooh, this got me thinking... the essentialism of "female" is obviously to the determent of women, especially trans women.
But I also realize that the lack of essentialism in "Man" is used against men, too. "He's not a real man, he eats seed oils and is monogamous."
"Males" would still other trans men, which would be bad. "Man" is the better term. But the same guys who say "female" also use "man" to represent an exclusive club of real men.
Huh, I am a woman that says female more often than I say male, but I do say them both. Does this apply to girls too?
"Long hair is a woman's glory." Aight, you heard it, women, no need to shave. It is preferred when the hair is looooong.

Deadass. For a while, I was only focusing on my (mainly aesthetic) attraction to male characters/celebrities, so I figured I was gay, and then it occurred to me that a lot of my major (mainly aesthetic) crushes growing up were women and I'm attracted to a MUCH wider range of women than men. Men can be handsome/pretty/etc, but a LOOOT of women are. "Women glorious" indeed.

Puberty is NONNEGOTIABLE. Puberty blockers need to be outlawed.
Puberty is the mandatory stage of human friwth and developnent in which the child human grows up and develops into a full grown adult human whose bodily function is now capable to reproduce the next generation of human beings after adulthood is reached.
PUBERTY IS MANDATORY FOR growth and development of brain, body organs, reproductive system and mental maturity in irdercto become an ADULT. Puberty blockers detrimentally stop this normal, healrhy developmental process of reaching puberty.
Even though, there are abnormalities in every aspect of nature and every aspect of the organs of the human body, every life form has value. Hiwever, sexual reproduction is mandated by NATURE to be binary of the opposite sex with a male and a female. Every normal, abnormal, abled body, and disabled body is valuable. But the kaw if natural selection states the strobgest with survive and pass along their gene pools to tne next generation. EMBRACE NATURE and your batural self.

The c-section thing hit me. It kicked me in the gut. I was a c-section baby because if I wasn't, I would've died. The umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck and I was facing the wrong way. There were NO other options. I would have died and my birth mom could have too. Having a life saving surgery that wasn't even her choice doesn't make her any less of a woman.
See according to a lot of fundie Christians you should have been left for fate. Like hey literally think your mom not being able to perform her only purpose means she failed God and is therefore worthless.
My OB/GYN has told me that if I ever got pregnant, she would automatically sign me up for a C-section.
My family has always teased me about my “birthing hips”. My pelvic bone is very wide. Turns out, according to my doctor, the opening in my pelvic bone is also very narrow and tilted at an odd angle. I can’t wear tampons because my periods are too heavy, but I can only fit a small teenager’s size tampon in there. And even that hurts and feels like it’s going to fall out. I’m not putting it in wrong. It’s just how I’m built. Sex is either painful or I physically don’t feel anything, so that is not an enjoyable experience for me. People tell me all the time that I just haven’t found the right guy and it’ll magically be more enjoyable when I find the one. Nope! I’m just not built that way.
Frrr I’m in a wheelchair and I have to have c section because of my condition and it’ll be to much and could break my hips and when ppl say that stuff it hurts

I have never wanted children. I first asked for a hysterectomy at 16. This started years of "you're too young to know what you want" to "you might change your mind" or my personal favorite "your future husband might want kids." Eventually, I stopped asking. Then, I found out I just don't have eggs, so conception wasn't going to happen anyway. Still, no hysterectomy, because "why bother now?" So now, at 47, I had to have a terribly invasive and fairly risky six-hour open hysterectomy to remove a THREE-POUND fibroid. If any of the roughly dozen doctors I'd talked to over the years just did what I asked, it would have been a much easier surgery not fraught with any of my current complicating factors.
TL'; DR - Women don't get to have our health decisions respected, or our experiences valued.
I bet there’s some fundamentalist out there who thinks that fibroid might have been a baby and how dare you!
I’ve been asking for a hysterectomy since my 20s. I’m 44 now and I still get…”but you might still get married!” Nah. I’m good.
I started my period when I was 9. I was wearing an underwire by 10. I went to a Catholic school, so no one knew what to do with me. My parents insisted that having large breasts made me unattractive and fat and that’s why I didn’t have any friends. I got a reduction when I was 23 only to find out that men like curves.
I got made fun of for having “birthing hips”. According to my doctor, my pelvic bone is wide but the hole in the middle is extremely narrow and tilted at an odd angle. That’s why I’ve never been able to wear tampons. My periods are too heavy, but I can only fit the smallest size tampons up there. Even then, tampon still feels like it’s going to fall out and I’m not putting it in wrong. It’s also why sex isn’t an enjoyable experience for me. It either hurts or I don’t feel anything at all. My doctor said if I ever got pregnant, she’d automatically sign me up for a C-section.
So now I’ve got scars all over my boobs. I’d never be able to lactate to breastfeed. I’ve lost that ability. I have no desire to have sex ever again because it doesn’t feel good. It’s not going to feel good. Why put myself through that let alone some poor guy who’s trying his best? I’m 44 and I still get lectured about how it’s not too late and don’t give up just yet!
I’ve started whipping out pictures of my pets now when I get the talk. “Meet your granddaughter.” Tortoise. “Don’t roll your eyes at her! Where are you going??”
If it isn't too personal, how did you find out you didn't have eggs?
I am a trans man, but even before I realized my identity I was treated like this
I have always had ridiculously bad periods (cramps so bad I throw up, bleeding so bad I could go through a Super Plus tampon in 2 hours-even making me anemic at one point, severe insomnia and sleep problems, hot flashes, and more as PMS symptoms) and when we went to the GYNO I was put on BC meds when I was young to help control it, but it never worked. I've tried 3 different pills, the Nuvaring vaginal hormones, the Nexplanon implant in my arm, the patches, the Mirena IUD, even at some points stacking multiple methods on top of each other because one wasn't enough
Even on two BCs, my periods never stopped completely, but more pressing was that about a week before my period, I would get this absolutely awful experience I just called an "Episode" where I was nauseous and vomiting , unable to eat or even drink water, too nauseous to sleep, severe hot flashes and cold chills, dizziness, shakiness, impending sense that I was going to die, and more for 2-4 days
I would just spend days (and nights because I couldn't sleep) every month curled up on the bathroom floor crying because of how awful I felt. It was so awful and my family watching me suffer got so bad that we agreed that if I ever got to the point where I had more "episode" days than normal days, my life wouldn't be worth living and I would end my existence. I have multiple other chronic conditions that leave me in constant pain and nausea and dizziness, but it was nothing compared to my episodes
Because it was monthly, I went to 3 different OB/GYNs, because it was probably hormonal I went to an endocrinologist, and was then referred to an Endocratic Gynecology clinic at my local medical university. I also saw 3 different gastroenterologists(GI), with nobody having an answer. Because of the timing and the correlation, the best guess was some ovary malfunction.
I begged and pleaded to get a hysterectomy+oophorectomy to end my Episodes but because I was 17, the OBs wouldn't even consider it, despite me suffering immeasurably and my other conditions making me not likely to be able to hold a pregnancy anyway. I also DID NOT want children (I'm autistic and could not handle the sensory overload) plus my other conditions are genetic and I'd NEVER want to see a child grow up in as much pain as I did. My partner at the time (now my husband 💙) also has many detrimental genetic traits in his family (scoliosis, severe asthma, type1 diabetes, severe allergy to mosquito bites, and more) so even with him standing beside me saying that HE didn't want children either (so they couldn't use the "what if your partner wants kids?? Stupid argument) they wouldn't even consider it. I suggested once that if my problem was the female hormones, what if I tried testosterone?? (Trans egg moment for sure) and she literally laughed in my face and told me what with my other conditions it would absolutely ruin my heart health (the links to T and heart problems is dubious at best)
I just went on suffering for 4 years
Deciding to try to get my health under control so I could maybe get an actual job, I go to a new (4th!!) GI and within 30 minutes he sent me home with a whole packet on Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, and there, on the second page it said that people with estrogen intolerances can often have their ovulation triggering their CVS
The whole time I was intolerant to the hormones my body produced, and I had to go to so many doctors and fight for my right to be honestly considered instead of being brushed off
I got on a Progesterone-only BC med that would help suppress the effects of Estrogen, and my "episodes" improved drastically, both in severity and duration, and I can actually do basic tasks while dealing with them
*One trans realization later*
I was terrified to talk to a doctor about getting on T because of what that OB said, I nearly cried the multiple times the week before because I was so scared I wouldn't get to transition medically the way I wanted
Show up, have a long discussion with the provider, find out that that previous OB didn't know what she was talking about at all.
This provider had the actual medical data, and it showed IMPROVEMENT OF SYMPTOMS in AFAB people with my condition being on testosterone. I literally cried when I was able to get a prescription for T, and it has already changed me so much more than I expected it to in little time. I guess because my body didn't really tolerate Estrogen, finally getting a hormone it can fully process worked wonders. I wonder now if a lot of my dysphoria and other problems were strengthened by not processing estrogen, but after only 2 months on T I already have more and darker hair (including on my face which I was told wouldn't happen for 6+months) and other changes that only make me happier and more secure in my identity.
I am now pursuing a Hysto/Oopho through the "gender affirming" routes, but it's an absolute TRAGEDY that I, as an adult, cannot choose to get a (not really) elective surgery to drastically improve my medical health, because of some theoretical "future husband" that may or may not want children, and I am expected to not do what's best for me to bend to the whims of some theoretical interests of a theoretical man that "deserves" more control over my body than I have
With being sick while having estrogen, it really feels like I was "meant" to be trans, all the compassion to women's experience to not make me misogynistic, as well as dating men as a "woman" and seeing their predatory/dismissive behaviors made me a better man, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I finally got the treatment I needed, but it's absolutely ridiculous that I had to weasel my way into other medical practices instead of being able to get the surgery I would need to live a happier life. If my husband had something wrong with his testicles that made him sick, he would NEVER be questioned other than the "this could make you infertile and you need to sign this so you cant sue me for it" waiver, they'd likely never even ask a man for their current partner's option, and so inventing some theoretical "future partner" would be absolutely unheard of. Why can't all humans be treated with equal value and full bodily autonomy???
@@ThatOneCorvusKing I never would have thought of having an intolerance to your own hormones! That doctor has probably encountered something like that before to actually recognize a condition that I’m guessing is very rare! Good for you for never giving up advocating for yourself!
I’m on a Depo Shot right now because my doctor doesn’t want me having periods either. I started puberty when I was about 8 or 9 years old.
My periods were like monsoon season. Instead of 3-5 days of period, I’d have about a week off my period every month. I didn’t get cramps really, but my IBS would get worse. Every day I’d go to school wearing my uniform skirt, a pair of boxers, 8 pairs of underwear, and 2-3 overnight pads. I’d have to change those pads every 2 hours. If I didn’t, I’d likely stand up to find a puddle on my chair. The school nurse started stocking up on pads just for me, but all she could get were liners or small ones for the average girl just starting. She had to use her own money to get overnights or maternity pads for me. She also couldn’t help me when I leaked. All she could do was rinse my shirt, let it dry a little in front of a fan, and send me back to class. Ah, Catholic school!
I was anemic and on iron supplements by 13. I’d get up every morning, pass out, get ready for school, and eat something before catching the bus.
I love my Depo shot. I tried other birth control treatments and I still had a period, but at least they were manageable and only lasted a week! I was shocked when I saw my doctor while on my period. It was a particularly light period for me and I was raving about how liberating it was! She gave me an exam and told me I was still bleeding entirely too much. She switched me to the shot right away and said she didn’t want me having a period at all. I was shocked!
“This is a pretty light day though! You mean to tell me normal girls have even less than this and only 10 days is still too long?? And they don’t find a snack cup size of tissue clot in their pads every other day??” “Yeah. That’s not normal.” “Holy crap! And I thought this was an awesome next to nothing period!” The last time I had my period was during quarantine because I lapsed on my shot and I’m doing so much better!
I never would have thought that someone could be intolerant of estrogen! Of all things! I don’t think that’s what I have, but your story is such an encouragement to trust your gut and keep advocating for yourself! Thank you for sharing!!

Yep, I went to a coed Catholic high school (in Canada) and while I was there, the entire Catholic school board was in the process of transitioning uniforms towards a gender neutral version where everyone wore pants. Girls at my school were constantly getting in trouble for uniform violations because their kilts were too short/high. Now everyone wears pants.
That sounds like an awesome school
I went to a Catholic high school in the early 2000s and the year before I started they changed the girls uniform to pants only. We didn’t wear ties (the boys had to wear ties except when it was really hot outside at the end of the year-no AC except in the computer room!) and though at the time I thought it was a bad choice to take away skirts and skorts looking back all pants everything was pretty great

That seemed to get him thinking.
About 2 years ago, I was wearing a skirt and a guy I knew (we were not friends and still are not) tried to look up it to seek if I was trans. I'm not and it wouldn't matter even if I was.

The other teacher whenever he talks to girls he stares at their chest… their only 11 half the girls don’t have anything their. Ik for a fact he’s still working
Because I have ADD and zone out a lot and am Asexual people thought they could take advantage of me alone and so people I cared for tried protecting me as best as they could but sometimes there were times I was still alone and those were the times I got SA'ed a lot in highschool. Lots of "gay guys" and other strangers and stuff would come up and grope my breasts and I had one friend who "TACO"-ed me where he'd run up and literally "grab me by the you know what" which really hurt (and yes, I did defend myself every time and people defended me too if they saw it happen and this was in early 2000's and we would report it and teachers did jack crap, so... but it sucked. So I stopped wearing skirts after a few times of this happening and started doing the skirts/dresses over pants things because then I could still feel good but be protected.

The whole belief women need to give birth vaginally and without meds to be a "real mom" is insane. I have heard moms telling other moms well you're not a real mom yet as you had meds and or you had a c-section. One woman even went as far as to say "Oh so you're an adoptive mom not a real mom." to a mom who had to have an emergency c-section to save her and her baby. When she tried to say no she's a real mom the other mom absolutely lost it. They claim having either of those doesn't allow for the natural processes to occur that make it so you can not properly bond with the baby therefore you are not a real mom. How anyone can believe that is insane and rude to all those moms who did what they needed to do to have a safe birth and to adoptive moms.
And saying that you can’t properly bond with the kid is also incredibly disrespectful to adoptive or step-parents. Nasty human being.
I had my kids vaginally. Like you are 'supposed' to to bond with them. Pft. Still ended up getting post partum depression with both and struggled to bond in the beginning. So even doinh it the 'right'way didn't work. So she should just mind her business...

@fart63 I'm so glad your sisters were able to get the help they needed. As long as mom and the baby/babies are safe that's what counts. I hope they both had speedy recoveries. One huge problem with babies is they grow up way too fast. It's fun watching them develop their own little or big in some cases personalities and watching them grow.
@artikulv731 I have known moms who had their babies the "right" way as they call it and were the worst parents ever. I 100% agree with you that you don't have to be the kids bio parent to truly love them. My sister has adopted several of our younger siblings and they are her kids now. They get the same amount of love and care as her bio kids do. Heck my friends kids look up to me as their parent and they don't care what anyone thinks about it either. I'm their family and have been there for them regardless of what they're dealing with that's how family should be.

Ig there was a brief time in high school when I bled neon green then 🤭 hell I've had split-dye too, what would that do? Crazy stuff. All that hair bleach and dye must have transed my gender 🤔

Just wanted to comment this! I can’t believe this was said
I had a partial hysterectomy (kept my ovaries) when I was 32. I was in a car accident a few years later and while in the emergency room, one of the questions I was asked was "are you pregnant?" I said no and the nurse was like "are you sure?" in a rather condescending way and I went "I HAVE NO UTERUS, YES I'M SURE!" She moved to the next question.
Years ago I was admitted to the hospital with uncontrolled vomiting due to a reaction to an antibiotic prescribed for a very painful UTI. At least that was the hypothesis. Pretty sure after the fact that it was a kidney stone. Anyway, after being asked if I was pregnant for the third time in 3 or 4 hours with the are you sure followup I finally lost my patience with people who can't be bothered to read the chart notes and replied, "Why, is there a star and 3 wise men outside? Stopped the nurse cold. "What?" "Well, I wasn't pregnant 3 hours ago when I was admitted and answered that question and I haven't had sex since then so either I'm still not pregnant or there's been a miracle."
The only snark I've ever regretted was the snark not said.
@@ranuelthebard3751Hi, sorry to bother, but what do you think is the best way to approach this topic?
I am a medical professional to be and usually it's hard to have a clear pregnancy diagnosis in the first months, so for me is kinda ok to double check if that's the case. Unless it's clearly impossible like in an hysterectomy as above.
So sometimes even if a patient say no it could be an unknown pregnancy.
@@ScrokyTheFallen If it's unknown then it's unknown. The patient isn't going to have a sudden flash of insight when asked the second (3rd, 4th) time. In my case I'm Ace and was still a virgin even though I was in my twenties so barring supernatural intervention I was absolutely certain and to be honest it came across that either the nurses were too lazy to read the chart notes from when I had been asked that a couple of times before OR they thought I was lying and would crack and tell the truth if they asked often enough. I was leaning towards lazy but who knows. Maybe to an allosexual the idea that someone might just not be having sex is a hard concept to understand.
If the patient says that they haven't had sex within the last say 3 or 4 months and there's no reason to believe they are lying then note that down and move on. If you really, really need to be sure give them a pregnancy test before whatever the procedure is that's a danger to a fetus.
Doctors and nurses in front of you don't know you. They usually don't think you are stupid but they also know that miscommunication is the stupidest error they could medically do.
The second check is basically too ask " do you think you're not pregnant because you don't want to, you have a birth control (which is not 100% sure) or you don't have any signs in that sens? OR are you sure because you checked lately, you physically can't etc...?
Many people will answer no to this question because they think they're not. Not because they are big immature babies, just because sometimes it's hard to know or to accept to be pregnant.
I would double check too...
@@carolineseree4391 I know that birth control is not 100% effective. It was the nurse's attitude that bothered me. I had just been in a car accident and she was talking down to me like I was a simpleton. Don't appreciate that. And she could have asked "How are you certain?" rather than keep asking in her condescending tone "Are you sure?"
Tone conveys a lot after all.
I had a hysterectomy about 12 years ago due to extreme endometriosis. My father says that I am not a woman because I do not have a uterus and ovaries. Pretty sad that there are so many closed minded people. There are so many ways to educate ones self in 2023. I try to educate myself on many issues so that I know certain things...I do not want people to feel bad. I love people and want to respect them.
I'm making fun of women rights and Igbt jn my profjle.
I’m so sorry for this. Your dad definitely isn’t right and you’re a woman! I hope your father will finally stop believing this nonsense!
That’s disgusting! I’m sorry your dad feels that way. A hysterectomy doesn’t make you less of a woman. You’re a woman regardless of what you do or don’t have.
It says a lot about people when they view women as nothing more than reproductive organs.
I had a hysterectomy at 27, many years ago. I spent time on a website for women having hysts. One woman told me she was really struggling with her hysterectomy and wanted to know how I handled not being a woman anymore.
I felt so bad for her. We wound up having a conversation about what makes a woman a woman. I don't think she understood what I was saying, sadly. For her, woman=childbearing. That leaves out any afab who is infertile. Is it genes? No, because there are all sorts of gene combos that produce a female-appearing body. So what makes a woman a woman?
In my opinion, it's the mind. Sure, your genes are your genes, but that's just genetics. Who am I to tell someone else about their self-identy?
I suspect there is a scary correlation between people whose posts end up in Bad Women's Anatomy and people who insist sex ed should be taught at home, never in schools
Yeah. At the school my 3 kids went to, Sex Ed was taught by an actual nurse, to all of the middle school students. Same curriculum, regardless of gender. There was the option to have them excused. I had concerns about the parents who wanted their kids excused from it. I did not excuse any of mine. And if anyone is wondering, my kids (now grown up) are all different genders.
Heyyyy you got the hat trick! Congrats!
Yes, they are 😒
My school literally sent HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN home with a consent form for parents to sign if they wanted their kid to be exempt from sex ed classes. And it had stipulations too. So you could sign off on your literal teenager going to sex ed, but there was a box you could check if you wanted them to be exempt from anything 'too sexual', like diagrams of genitalia, talk about STDs, or pictures/videos of childbirth. And then people wondered why there were always like 7 pregnant students every year...
I came out to one of my friends today, and it went so well. They were so supportive, and its given me the courage to come out to the rest of my friend group. It really made my day
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m happy that went well for you and I hope for smooth sailing and support from those friends going forward for you!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
“A woman’s hair is her glory” is a biblical thing. As a thin haired girl who couldn’t really grow it long and couldn’t do anything trendy with it (beach waves lasted about 10 mins in my hair no matter how much product there was), it was something I disliked hearing in church. I was apparently a bad Christian simply for not having better hair genes.
I’m a middle easterner in the US so I always had the thickest, longest, shiniest hair on my head…and hair on my brows, apparently, because I got rude comments from other girls as a literal child about having a unibrow because I had like three tiny stray hairs in the middle of my brows 😐 they like long hair…as long as it’s in the right place and just that right place 🤦♀️
What bothers me so much is that using this to say that women MUST have long hair and men MUST have short hair is cherry picking the text. What about Samson, who, as a part of his religious oath, could never cut his hair, and lost all the strength in his body when is was done against his will? Does he mean nothing to them?
People simply use the Bible to enforce their own cultural norms and stereotypes and condemn anyone who dares fall outside of them.
Short hair can be just as glorious as long hair.
that is terrible. I got shamed from my church for cutting my hair to the length of my brothers hair and he has pretty short hair. Just wait until they find out im a nonbinary satanist 🤣🤣
When they say Vagina Bones, it's transphobes who don't believe that men have pelvises. I don't understand it either. Also Thank you Jamie for helping me laugh today ❤

They probably also believe in boob bones

I gotta be That One.
They are called the Frontal Illiac Crests! Everyone’s got ‘em. They’re a key part of the pelvis
Actually vagina bones is a meme. it's just referring to the hip/pelvic bones and the v shape on a person's pelvis. It's used ironically to refer usually to women but sometimes men. I promise you that one isn't transphobia or bad women's anatomy. The joke is that they made Link 'sexier' than necessary, not that he's secretly a woman or AFAB or something.
Acting like period pains are all normal and the same are how people who have conditions like endometriosis and PCOS go undiagnosed for years. We actually shouldn't act like, "Oh yeah, these intense pains I'm experiencing are a totally normal part of menstruation, because everyone tells me so," and instead should be having girls get checked for these conditions at a young age.
I'm making fun of women rights and Igbt jn my profjle
Cramp is normal, agonising pain is very not normal.
Yep. That's why it took me four doctors to find someone who took "I pass out from my cramps" seriously. They would just chuck birth control at me and suggest I try ibuprofen, you know the thing I'd already told them did squat. And I'm trans as well. But doc#4 did give me a hysterectomy and the pain was a joke compared to my periods. I was basically just sore and tired, and even took fewer narcotics after surgery than I did for several periods.
@@KaleighCee Not all painkillers work for everyone, unfortunately, our bodies are weird.
@@KaleighCee Not necessarily true. I had pretty bad cramps and went through several types of painkillers over time as they would stop working. The only thing I found that didn't stop working was Advil. The bad cramps were a result of endometriosis, which involves inflammation; I think the Advil worked because it is an anti-inflammatory.

2:25 "Girls need blouses and skirts to reflect their biological differences?" Really? Well, I'm a cis girl, and I wear the "boys' uniform" (shirt, tie and trousers) at my school rather than the "girls' uniform" (blouses and skirts) even though almost all girls at my school wear the "girls' uniform". So, are you telling me I need to wear a skirt? But it has no pockets!

One time my friend told me I wasn’t a real woman because I didn’t want to use a tampon. A FEMALE friend…
Dawg, I’m literally bleeding rn so if you could please stfu about how I chose to deal with it that would be splendid.
Actually, tampons can cause this thing called "toxic shock" where all your organs start shutting down one by one 😁
It's pretty rare, but it has happened. The chance increases it you are sick at the time! So technically pads are the safer option!
So just tell your friend that She is more likely to die from toxic shock.
(I would have looked up the statistics but I can't get off my ass rn lol)
My periods were so heavy and had lots of clots, that I couldn't use a tampon. The clots would coat the outside of the tampon and I bleed through. The inside of it would be dry. I checked because it would leak in about a half hour. I wanted too, needed to found out if I was really bleeding that heavy. I had to go to pads.
wait what were you using then? pads? i feel like that'd be more "real" considering you're letting it bleed naturally. or something else? Don't actually know of any other products that aren't just variations on pads
This was big in my high school. I was the only girl that everyone knew used pads and I was shamed mercilessly for not using tampons. Come to find out two other girls who had been part of the shaming actually only wore pads but they kept it more hidden than me. So.
See I had the opposite issue in middle school when the girls I was talking to said your a whore and a slut for using a tampon. I was like wut??? So I’m a slut cuz I don’t wanna blood all over the place and staining my pants??
The German one is pretty accurately translated. Some German cities are trying to make hygiene products more accessible by having designated places people with periods can go and get them for free. But a lot of people (especially men) are not happy with that. And even worse the man who said that is a politician
My son recently had sex educatiton at school, they still separate the classes and only bother to teach minimal information on periods and the uturus to one half. Knowing that grown men cannot grasp that urine and period blood do not come out of the same hole, I made sure to teach him everything on my own so he doesn't become a moron that believes babies float around in a bladder full of piss.
That is insane.
Sex education is very important. I went to school in the 1980s and it wasn't even an issue.
I really don't understand places and countries that don't do this.

When I was in uni, I got my period while I was hanging out with friends, and one asked me why I couldn't "just hold it in." He was a PRE-MED BIO MAJOR. I was so close to telling him, "Dude, you should NOT become a doctor."
when i was (a girl) in high school all i ever wore were flannel shirts and the baggiest jeans i could find. pretty sure any random dude would have been just as comfortable in my wardrobe. i did not "need" skirts or specially tailored pants to "reflect my biological differences." put me in a tarp, i'm happy.
i find it very interesting how often the notion of just... coping with not having kids you might want is utterly incomprehensible to people. like women will get their tubes tied and people will be like "WHAT IF YOU GET DIVORCED AND REMARRY AND YOU WANT MORE KIDS WITH YOUR NEW HUSBAND?!?!?" well what if i want a porsche, susan, we don't always get what we want.

(i like the idea for colder places tho!)
I'm from a country where uniforms separated by gender are common, and I always thought they were silly because of a great detail, the weather, here the cold starts in September and ends in April, I include the rainy season, the cold is so bad it was normal to see elementary school girls shivering, so at the request Angry Mothers we got months in which we can wear pants, and even then it is not enough just the month of December and January, some schools don't let you enter the building if you are wearing pants after those two months.
there were girls who pretended to be male students
at the entrance to continue wearing pants and others jumped the back fence of the school to enter and the biggest slap in the face or "solution" waa the school was to saying that thick socks would solve everything, white socks of course, they would do something against the rain, mud & freezing cold, o an no leggings, they were not allowed.
My mom ignored that recommendation and bought 5 pairs of white leggings and shoes that would hide that they were legins so that I wouldn't freeze to death, and yes I was part of that group of girls that jumped the school fence to take my classes, they were not going to deny me my education for something as silly as a uniform.
It wasn't until I entered university that I could be warm in winter, because from kindergarten to high school you wore a uniform.
I had to have 2 c-sections because my pelvis wasn’t wide enough
I received abu$e on Facebook from Christian extremist groups who stated that I wasn’t a real woman, I wasn’t a real mother and I had shamed myself in the eyes of god…🤦🏻♀️
I broke my back when I was 15 and it was all Lumbar spine, pelvis and coccyx damage. So that’s why my pelvis was not able to open during childbirth.
But apparently I should have not been al!ve rather than had a caesarean….actual things said to me …. Incredibly misinformed, arrogant, and cruel 😢
A friend of mine had a coworker who actually thought that women could control their bleeding while menstruating, like we can control our bladders. So he considered women who use feminine hygiene products lazy and didn't understand why we could't just potty-train. Which was why he was against a menstrual pad-dispenser in the ladies' room at work.
21:30 “this only happens to women”. I cried laughing at this because I (f) had a hook up with a guy who told me “do not get attached to me, women always do after these things” and I was like “umm I’m not but okay”. The next day I had 0 emotions over him and he was spam texting me begging me to come back and that he loved me etc
Someone earlier in the comments stated confidently that this one is literally true, I think in response to Jamie saying he doesn't buy into it. I considered replying but had a rush of common sense (just don't go there). I suppose the corollary is that gay men can't bond because no oxytocin? Or something?
Reading shit like this makes me glad I'm not into men.
Sounds like he wanted you to get attached so he wouldn't. But then I'm not an expert on straight guys, so I'm just guessing.
Agh, yuck. I would have canceled the hook up as soon as he said the first thing! What a jerk.
Why does this sound like a plot of a bad highschool romance?
“A man with long hair is a disgrace” A man with long hair is attractive asf, and I’m ace, so that’s saying something
Aces attracted to men with long hair stand UP 🙌
Being ace doesn’t mean you don’t find people attractive, it means you don’t find SEX attractive.
Yep, sometimes actors are so disappointing to me with their normal short hair :D I enjoy that the movies I watch have so many long haired men... Some are very handsome with short hair too but I like most better with long hair as long hair suits my taste better. My SO is male and always had long hair (except as a kid). He skipped military service partially to keep his long hair... He would look way worse without it.
No but for real I love short hair on women and long hair on men it’s so attractive
I blame Marvel for my attraction to long haired men 😂
My mom had 4 c-sections. The first 2 were because of medical emergencies that would have killed my siblings while she was in labor. The second 2 were because her uterus was too scarred from the first 2 c-sections. When people say you have to give birth through labor to be a real woman, I get so mad in particular because my mom is badass.
My mom had to have a total hysterectomy after having me.
Not trying to trauma dump,just explain why they decided this was the best option for my mom;
She had a tumor that I hid when she was pregnant with me. It ruptured during my birth and almost killed her right after (she was taken into surgery and had to have 2 blood transfusions) and several more times over the next 2 years (in and out for 13 operations in my first 2 years of life) so with all that taken into consideration, it made sense.
It's definitely not a good feeling knowing your life almost cost your mom's, I'll tell you that much.
No, it doesn't feel good, let me tell you. But what does feel good is when your mother makes it feel like it was a war bringing you into this world and that you're essentially a prize to have been won and you were worth it despite the fact you feel worthless (like I do, born with birth defects and being disabled mentally and physically my whole life). My mom was in labor 18 hours with me due to her doctor trying to force her to birth me via broken hips cause of his religious beliefs. Another doctor overwrote him when we both died on the table and then did a c-section. We both came out with issues and she's still suffering like I am to this day; her with a bunch of hernias and hypertension and me with all sorts of disabilities. She had my 2 sisters and talks about how it was worth it even though we feel so horrible.
OMG such Hornswoggle! I am cis female, I had both poly- cystic ovarian disease & endometriosis, both which increased my testosterone, I gave birth to 3 beautiful children and as soon as I was done having kids my cervix tried to kill me so they took it all out.

Ironically, the "vagina bones" is commonly called an Adonis belt or an Apollo belt (though I'm not about to tell Apollo he can't have a vagina if he wants one). In art, it's called the iliac furrows, it's where muscles run from your iliac crest to your pubis. Greek statuary featured it heavily. It is usually associated with men, particularly body builders.

"Digestion isn't painful." Uh... yes, it is. I have stomach problems that I've been dealing with since I was a child. Digestion is painful for me. Sometimes it's really painful.
There's a literal study where you swallow Barium so they can see how your digestion works due to conditions like hEDS. I work fine mostly but food goes down very slow in my esophagus (GERD) and causes issues due to my hEDS and I have done the Barium Swallow test and it was weird yet fun. So yes, digestion can be painful. IBS-M is what I have. People are idiots.

What the actual eff on the "it's biologically necessary for female children to wear skirts"???
I'm AFAB nonbinary and the only memories I have of skirts in school uniforms is being extremely uncomfortable in them even before I started realizing I had gender dysphoria. Like, there was an element of literal uncomfyness as well as just feeling upset. I didn't have "proper birthing hips" lol I was twelve. Not everybody has the perfect cliche gendered body even after puberty either! I've always been unable to fit into "women's" shirts because I just happened to be born with wider shoulders than most men.
So it's just absurd to me to think of forcing kids to wear skirts out of a bizarre patronising "it's better for you sweetie~" excuse...
Felt way more comfy literally and mentally once I transferred to a school that let you choose trousers!

Skirts are so stressful too, like am i sitting properly? Can people see something they shouldn't? So much uneeded anxiety
@@VeryScaryCherri Yeah I always wear long skirts for that reason, I'm very not aware of what my body's doing and how it looks at any given time. Short skirts are just a ticking time bomb for me to forget I'm not wearing something sensible and doing something embarrassing...
what's worse is that if you had the hips for it the skirt would be unwearable by itself anyway. Its actually really hard to tailor things vaguely to the supposedly expected extremes.
Wearing skirts is actually more healthy for boys than for girls.
I've had bowel spasms/cramping in the actual intestines and that's actually pretty damned painful (this happens to me because my neurological system is messed up, but it's not the ordinary movement of the intestines). As someone whose period pains were always mild, that was far worse for me. There's a range of pain from periods, and people with severe pain shouldn't be treated as if their pain is mild just because it is for some people. Though fun fact: a fair amount of period cramping isn't from the uterus but instead from the abdominal muscles, so some people experience severe cramps even post hysterectomy or having been born without a uterus but having certain hormonal ranges.

In my high school we all had the same uniform regardless of gender however we used to have an option to wear skirts or pants (well before my time) and the reason they banned skirts was because the boys were filming up girls skirts as they walked up the stairs. So very great of them to ban skirts instead of telling boys not to be perverts. I was a bit mad that we were the ones who had to pay for the actions of perverted boys. I would have liked to have a skirt as an option. Though only as an option, I would hate it if it were mandatory

I would translate: In my opinion handing out period products to women is equivalent to handing out alcohol to alcoholics and cigarettes to smokers. So yeah the point came across right.

humans, especially in hot climates, have actually cut or fully shaved their hair really far back in human history. it helps deal with the heat and lice
Yeah. No scissors are really necessary. I remember learning somewhere that the first shaving razors were sharpened sea shells.
Was a long time ago, so I may remember wrong about it being the first, but it predated metal blades.

4:00 THE ARTWORK OF THIS AS AN ELDRITCH ABOMINATION IS AMAZING OML
I’ve seen a Twitter post saying that a woman’s genitals automatically suck up the man’s genitals because it’s meant to be like that 😭
ಠ_ಠ
The what-
*_SCHWOOP_*
Sorry what? The fact these people actually exist is insane
They’re saying it as if a female’s genitals are an actual mouth that can just suck on a mans genitals. When the mouth is on the head, not between a girl’s legs. Like GIRLYPOP WHAT-
ARE GIRLS SUPPOSED TO HAVE TWO TONGUES AND TWO SETS OF TEETH?! IS THAT YOUR SEGGS FANTASY?!
Female genitalia is like that because it’s built for females to be able to conceive and carry children and give birth. While male genitalia is built to impregnate.
Thing is, there was ALMOST a good joke hidden in the blood one: "Don't give anyone your blood. They'll just throw it away after 120 days!"
(120 days is the average lifespan of a red blood cell.)
I was actually thinking along those lines when I saw that one (I didn't remember the blood cell lifespan- thanks for the reminder). People who post this stuff have absolutely no idea.
the "dyeing your hair on your period" reminds me of a girl in middle school, who asked the teacher, if she'd dye her hair the same colour over and over again, would her children then get that hair colour. and I just can't 🤣
In my school, we started off with culottes for "the girls" and then moved on to impractical skirts in Year 9. Even though they were technically roughly the same length (a little bit above the knee) and I still identified as a girl back then, I was incredibly uncomfortable having to wear the skirt. Why? I was raised Christian and I was insecure about my body. The boys meanwhile were wearing long trousers
The thing about the menstrual cyrcle being painful to "train your body for birthing" is something I actually believed until my girlfriend informed me in great shock that "no, it's painful because you basically have internal bleeding.
On the other hand, a boy from her class asked during sex ed if the blood during period "comes out like a splatter movie".
I'm making fun of women rights and Igbt jn my profjle.....
It's not internal bleeding. It's uterine contractions pushing out the uterine lining. It's the same mechanism as childbirth contractions, but it's not in preparation for it. It's just the body doing the same thing.
Not really? The lining of the uterus thickens as it prepares for a fertilised egg to implant. When that doesn't happen, the lining just sloughs off. That's not the painful part. The uterus has to contract to push that lining out. Prostaglandins (which is kind of like a hormone, but isn't exactly) triggers the muscles of the uterus to contract. This substance is also associated with pain and inflammation, and people with higher levels of prostaglandins tend to have more severe menstrual cramps.
Edit: And that's even before you get into the painful issues caused by stuff like endo, uterine fibroids, PVD, adenomyosis (when the uterine lining grows INTO the wall of the uterus), and cervical stenosis (when the opening of the cervix is smaller than usual and makes it harder for menstrual fluid to pass, resulting in a painful pressure increase in the uterus)
I don’t think it’s internal bleeding, or at least my education basically said that the lining of the uterus comes off. Shit’s nasty either way, gonna ditch having a period as soon as I legally can.
@@darax723 That's what I was about to explain. Some of us are unlucky enough those darn prostaglandins can cause soreness and cramping no where near out uterus, like legs, and even arms and shoulders.
This subreddit always lowers my hope in humanity
It actually can raise my hope because it shows a lot of people realizing how wrong these things are.

Bigotry something we can analyze and counter
@@hatchetfieldharpie3276 This exactly. That nonsense was around for way too long in modern history and us being able to point it out as nonsense and laugh about it and do some education while we're at it, is a very good sign it's finally going uphill! Albeit way too slooooowly!

I couldn't be a teacher because I'm not asking permission to teach basic sense, sex ed and anatomy. This subreddit just shows me that education should be mandatory
what did you expect from Reddit
I'm so addicted to menstruating that I take medication specifically to make it stop. But it's totally a voluntary thing I have to choose not to do 🙄
I absolutely loved what you said about uniforms. As a kid I had to walk quit a long way to school. In winter my knees would get chapped. They would peel and even bleed because of the school's rules about not wearing tights under the mandatory skirt.
I'm a trans guy. I got my hair cut short because I was convinced that having/wanting long hair invalidated my gender identity. I know better now. I'm growing it out again so I can put hairsticks in it because I'm allowed to do whatever the hell I want with my hair. I am glad I cut it, though. It turns out that some of my father's genes include the tips of my hair getting all curled up when it grows back. It looks so soft and fluffy.
Aw, yeah my hair does that, too. I think I got it from my dad, too. I’m a woman and would LOVE to have short hair, but my hair grows so freaking fast that it’s impossible. I get it cut as short as I can get it every time I go to get it cut, but it’s always very short lived. I personally think short hair on a woman has zero effect on how feminine they look
@RosyKitteh Jealous! Even before I realized I was trans my hair never got as long as I wanted it. I would always get as little trimmed off as possible and still barely got it past my shoulder blades. I had been growing it since I was little, originally to donate to my mom's friend who had cancer. She died before that could happen, unfortunately. I always said I wanted Rapunzel-length hair. I also think short hair on women looks completely fine.
Yeah I cut my hair short for a while until my hair grew out a bit and I started dressing better. Realised longer hair makes me more masculine! Now I have a mid length mullet thing, it looks awesome
I'm female and, like many people in Spain, gave myself a "Pandemia head shave" during the lockdowns. My hair went through the "I just started my military service" phase and through the "high and tight phase" and through the "I'm a 3-year old boy" phase... I LOVED IT ALL.
@NavaSDMB I once butchered my hair when I was really little. I mean, I just went at it with a pair of scissors. My mom had to fix it, and it ended up being barely past my ears. That was actually my trans awakening. I saw myself with short hair, realized I was boy (because my understanding of gender was really shallow back then), and then immediately went into the boy's bathroom at school. I believe I even managed to use a urinal successfully. Unfortunately, another boy saw me and told a teacher. She asked me what the hell I was doing, and when I said, "I'm a boy." she looked me dead in the eye, laughed, and said, "No." Cue about 7 or so years of unidentified general discomfort.
To be honest, I'm actually surprised they didn't say that a woman's body belongs first to God, then to her husband, THEN to her future kids, and eventually maybe a little bit to herself (I guess on alternate Thursdays but only on leap years), but I suppose I've read/heard too many of those unbelievably infuriating and depressing "that's not how women work" lists.
I had the same thought. I suppose a woman's body belonging to her husband amounts to the same thing since she's giving her husband those children. Ugh. That quote sounds like the Transformed Wife. Double ugh.
Or her father
@@Teajay21 she doesn't belong to her father after she's sold to her husband, so in this case the father's ownership doesn't come into it.

5 years ago I buzzcut my hair and I did get a few strange reactions from people. Because it's perfectly normal for a guy to buzzcut their hair but aparently not for a woman. 5 years later I still buzzcut my hair because I love it and I feel sexy with my super short hair, and everyone who doesn't agree with it can piss off!

What if I'm none of those things though?
So… my mom was always the top earner in the family, pretty tough and pragmatic and the boss at home. My dad is a bit on the softer side, he’s rather artistic and sensitive. They have a great relationship, have been happily married for almost 40 years and successfully raised two sons, one of them is even cishet.
It’s almost like people are individuals with differing levels of what society deems as masculinity/femininity 😱
Yea, what I have observed is that society doesn't see the bigger picture of femininity and masculinity and chose shoves things into those categories when they could also at times be put into the other. By today's standards the hardworking housewife would be considered masculine. There are women that are tomboys but they are still feminine, just with their own personality. I would also like to add that masculinity should be determined by a man's fatherlyness and how he makes sure his family is provided for, even if that means being a stay at home dad because some women have good jobs and make a decent amount of money that the father should just take care of home and kids. They both provide. Sorry about my paragraph, just needed someone agreed with to say it to if you ever see it.
@@JaydenHolland-wo4fdwhat society should see is that masculinity and femininity are not real and that all individuals are different
Ya know I dyed my hair blue, so I'm still waiting for my blood to be blue. Very disappointed!
As a bisexual woman, i strongly agree that women wearing things 'not suited for their gender' aka masculine clorhing is very much okay 🙏✨️
As well as being creepy and inappropriate, I feel like the bit about school uniforms is actually them saying the quiet part out loud: that humans aren't THAT sexually dimorphic, and we often need other cues to inform us of whether someone is male or female. It's not that "females" NEED to wear blouses and skirts, it's that misogynists need "females" to be disallowed from wearing anything else, so they can gender people as Women or Men more easily.
(also that bit about women "worshipping Satan" just made me think like...note to men, please don't confuse your niche sexual interests with facts that you can use to generalise people with, good LORD)
Its not even like blouses make a difference. They're literally cut to the same pattern but with the button placket on the other side. Even on hot days I wouldn't take my jumper off because the blouses supposedly designed to fit boobs didn't fit mine and I was only a 32C at the time. There was gaping between the buttons. Granted my bust is very high set on my chest so some of the issue could've been that all the space they did have was situated far lower down, but there certainly wasn't this amazing amount of space for boobs comoared to the boys shirts.
I am a post-op trans woman. My last gynaecologist, during an internal examination, looked up at me while I was lying there with my legs in the air. “When did you have your hysterectomy?” She asked me. Yay! I thought. How affirming. She didn’t know I was trans.
Congrats girl.
Passing to hard I guess, or just a joke?
@@emmata98hoping it’s a joke. the doc needs to know stuff like that. no way i can just waltz into a docs office and not let them know i have a uterus when most people ID me as a man
I love stories like that! having your gender be seen as so normal and natural is great.
I met my transmasc friend years BEFORE he realized his gender identity, and I introduced him to other friends I had AFTER he was already fully presenting male and making his legal identity to reflect who he is. my friends didn’t even know he was trans until after a year of knowing him, and that really made me so happy. he’s never been treated differently than the cis straight guys (which is what almost the entire circle of friends is made up of) and after knowing him for so long it makes me super glad to see him truly being himself.
he’s been on T for a year now (we all celebrated last month!) and is getting top surgery in a few weeks, it’s awesome. shoutout to logan ❤
That is freaking amazing!
Just so cool!
I accidentally dyed my blood green, for a month I was worried they would think I was an alien, so on my next period I dyed my hair red to reverse the process.
12:50 it's in the Bible, that a woman's body belongs to her husband. In the same verse it says that a man's body belongs to his wife. So there's nothing unfair or demeaning to women in this concept....
It's basically telling married people that they can no longer just do as they wish, that they've made a commitment to one other person, and that person has as much say as they do... so like, ethical non monogamy? Sure.... sneaking and cheating, no.
1:34 Ok, this whole ‘Corsets represent the rigidity of society’ discourse in the media needs to stop. It’s usually misrepresented and also, I’m sure people in every age knew that making the supportive garments tight is a problem.

@@jacquelynsmith2351 Dress History TH-cam in general, actually. There was a roundtable about this.
Exactly, there were a lot of working class women that really couldn't actually wear that safely for work. And besides, some of those garments were more for support than anything.
People who insist on men and women being so physically different need to stop thinking everyone is either a buff chad or an antique vase, the average human is quite similarly shaped across the board.
I'm afraid medically/biologically speaking that is very untrue. In fact, it's a huge problem in medicine and even things like car crash test dummies that there's only ever 1 "average human" model that doesn't take into account key differences in XX-chromosome biology.
@@annedreikandt7361well if were going down to chromosomes then yeah but when were talking about normal body functions then no, everyone is ofcourse medically different not only because of sex but because of genes, illnesses, allergies and so much more, when people say there isnt a difference between men and women, mean it as in they can have the some work, experiences, love, and alot of bodily functions
@@annedreikandt7361 chromosomes is a whole different story, there’s different types of chromosomes and we shouldn’t really base our views in it
@@annedreikandt7361 I didn't say there aren't differences. There are and they should be taken into consideration on the contexts where they matter. My point is that these differences are not as extreme as one would be led to believe by seeing the idealized version of a man and woman by our collective conscience. Extremes that for most people are unattainable given they demand a specific genetic, an unsustainable lifestyle and a whole of costly and risky treatment and procedures.
This is so sensible! Also why there is no particular reason to have “Mens’ clothing” and “Womens’ clothing” in terms of physicality. It’s more about status (wearing the trousers), and restricting movement (corsets, petticoats etc). Fun for us all to get dressed up now and then though, in whatever we like.
Wow! So I have just to dye my hair blue during my period and I’ll grow naturally blue hair from that moment on! No more gray hairs, so much saving from the hairdresser!

As someone with IBS yes you can feel the process of digestion and it can cause pain and discomfort. That's one reason people believe those of us with IBS have such a bad time... Our brain doesn't block it out or we're more sensitive to it.
I'm making fun of women rights and Igbt jn my profjle..
IBS pain is actually from the colon, where the muscle is contracting. The stomach is lined with a thick layer of mucus which stops the walls from getting digested, so you're only ever in pain if that layer goes away, which it can rarely.
@@PlatinumAltaria well my intense stomach pain would disagree with you.
@@MysticEden If you can tell your stomach from your colon you're a lot more sensitive than me.
@@PlatinumAltariaI have IBS as well, and I can actually tell what parts of my tummy is hurting, yes. There's a difference between stomach pain and intestines pain. I most often experience colon related pain and digestive difficulties, but if I happen to eat something and that my body will reject it, I can assure you that the pain will be coming from the stomach way earlier it'll be coming from the guts. 😭
If menstrual pain was motivation for breeding than pregnancy and birth would NOT be painful. This is the stupidity that is so pervasive in our world 😢😢😢

I agree with you so hard with the uniform one. I also saw something on Reddit on how sometimes the people see as "uniquely trans" problems when actually they can just be "human problems". My work have a uniform. We have a portal where you order uniform online (like free shopping 🎉) when you need something. I am a cis woman and the old system had me as a female and I could only order "female" uniform. The "female" uniform is more tight with a defined hip and waist. I probably could have called someone and said "please can I have "male" t-shirts or fleeces as I really hate my clothes touching me but I was a bit scared to. We now have a new system and I can order whichever uniform that I like and I can't describe how much more comfortable I feel.. I think there is still a way to go as it is still labelled "male" and "female" but I completely agree with you. Let's just have a uniform. If you want to pick the more fitted tops, go for it, if you want to pick the more "unfitted" version then go for it (might need a better name than unfitted....)
I just call the T-shirt cuts “straight” and “curvy”.
@@ragnkja you're absolutely right, straight and curvey works perfectly
I relate to this so much, my school had totally nuteral uniforms and I loved it! But I was in a club that had gendered uniforms and I hated it the woman's pants literly didn't fit me at all
It would also be nice if there was an option for some definition and shape, but not clinging to my body. It feels like the options are one extreme or the other.
Also with t-shirts, if you want a fitted one it has to come with stupid half sleeves. Can I not have a fitted t-shirt with proper sleeves please?
The uniform shirts my company uses are, interestingly enough, basically the same measurements for men’s and women’s, but the men’s are a lot longer. I have a long torso, so I have to wear camisoles under the women’s ones. Then I got some men’s ones and that helped a lot.
