Welcome to today’s thread, brought to you by warm heaters, cuddly pets, and green energy!
I know this thread is from /c/Melbourne but, hello from Hobart.
I was in Hobart last week for the end of dark mofo and some work. Did you do the solstice nudie swim?
Ill accept $50 from each of your first four paychecks in return for my support

Good luck my friend! I totally get you, having a job while tiring has already made me so bloody happy. It just takes that one person to finally say “yes, I want you to work for me” to get that foot in the door.
Coming soon to instagram cafes near you. Microwaved potato, cheese, salt and pepper, hot sauce, and fried eggs with runny yolk
Replace the word “cheese” with “fried in butter” and you’ve got my version. e: I didn’t realise this was becoming a porn forum.
Whoa. That’s something serious.
It looks so yum! Do you have a name for this creation?
I wrote a huge thing about period pain and PCOS but having second thoughts because I’m not too sure if it’s appropriate? I did spoiler it and warn for those who don’t want to see it. But yeah. I’ve got no where else to talk about it and it’s just like a lot of ??? and ughhhh pain.
If it’s cool then I’ll reply to this, if not well, I won’t… I guess?
I have major body dismorphia due to not having female reproductive organs, but I can deal or scroll past. You should be able to talk about what you are going through.
Everyone is being super nice so I shall post it. Spoiler omg for obvious reasons. So if that periods and PCOS is gross or triggering, you’ve been warned.
gross stuff here!
So I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS since I was 12 but only officially when I was 21 due to the procedure being pretty invasive for a 12 y/o. I didn’t have a lot of periods growing up and only had one pretty regularly when I got on the pill at 18 and I got off it at 23 due to my past GP’s concern with blood clots. Thus since then I’ve had the rod.
Anyways, since being on the rod my periods were non-existent except for that I would bleed old blood. That’s been pretty consistent, I would never get a period in the typical sense. It’d be maybe once every 2 months or so and it’s just old blood.
Now it’s a mixture of old blood and new blood and I am in so much pain (well like on a scale it’s like a 4 to 5. Hurts but I try to focus on work). And I’m just like ??? so many question marks. Like wtf body, I thought we had a deal, you didn’t give me periods and I would be okay with that.
There’s not much to this really. I just like I’m so confused and in pain and I want to die. Ugh… Ugh. Sorry that this is very TMI, as I said, I don’t know who else to talk to about this. It’s not triggering the gender dysphoria, but it’s still not great. Thank you to whoever listens.
Fuck, you’re strong to work through that! Have seen a health pro?
I’m just so glad its not pushing your dysphoria as well. I’m trans femme so I understand dysphoria and know it comes out of nowhere sometimes and can last for hours. For what it’s worth I obviously read your post without being triggered and this is pretty good for me honestly.
I’m going to need to see a GP to get the rod replaced soon anyway. But yeah, like it’s just, ugh. I never had any sort of dysphoria around my period because I don’t get it often. Compared to a trans man/masc person who might get dysphoria due to having it often. But when I would get it it’s never been the downfall of society as I know it.
Also I’m super happy you felt comfortable enough to read it <3 I tried to not make it so… weird but yeah. I understands periods are a thing some people just don’t want to hear. That’s valid.
Shit, afab people’s health has been pushed to the back for far too fucking long hasn’t it? For christ’s sake people know what they want for their bodies.
Not too sure what went wrong in the drawing board when it came to human periods… haha.
Yeah I think I might do what I need to do around the house and then heat up the wheat bag and continue reading the comic I was reading at work (look, it was super slow and I wasn’t getting emails).
I think it’s cool. I don’t experience them (wrong type of plumbing) but see my and wife and daughter go through this regularly and never know what help to offer.
