    a man can have a period

    I assume based on context that this is a typo and you meant can’t.

    I recently learned that holy shit trans women despite most likely not having a uterus, start experiencing periods once they’re far enough along with HRT. Like full on period cramps, moodiness and everything!

      No no, it wasn’t a typo. I meant it as an example of things which make headlines nowadays.

      A school said, “Men can have periods” the world is going mad!

      Some people believe this is somehow erasing biological women, when usually somebody making that statement are actually talking about biological women who happen to be trans men (which can be and should be referred to as men - which is what I did).
