@BostonFernGreen yeah, sorry, I meant Hilary Swank! I keep getting her and Natalie Portman mixed up
I don’t mind the whole “people who have periods/menstruate” thing, tbh. I like that it includes trans men, some of them still have periods.
I have a friend who is a trans man and he completely passes as a bloke. I can’t imagine him being forced to use women’s toilets but thankfully it isn’t an issue for him because he’s usually fine using men’s and no one is aware that he is biologically female. He is the one who told me all about truscum and tucute, it’s baffling! Basically, my friend is considered truscum, or transmed, because he believes that to be trans, you have to experience gender dysphoria and desire for transition (it isn’t always possible to achieve). I agree with him, tbh. I knew him for a few years before he came out as trans, and I can see that being his true self has helped him loads, psychologically. He had top surgery as he used to have large breasts which was distressing for him. I don’t think he plans to have bottom surgery because the procedure is so complicated. But yeah, he is so much happier and he doesn’t feel like he’s lying to himself anymore, and I am so proud of him. There’s a poster here who has a trans son, you are awesome and I’m sure your son appreciates you so much.
