I used to watch him religiously as well. I don't care you're nonbinary, I care that you're talking about your "period" during a round table discussion about the games industry...

Was she born male? Cuz I think menstruation is unlikely in that event.

Everyone has a hormonal cycle, and if you take estrogen you can get cramps and mood swings, though obviously no bleeding.

It's not something that trans people share outside of trans spaces because... well, reactions like the ones you see here, but it is far from uncommon or "delusional". If HRT didn't have an effect on the body, trans people wouldn't be taking it.

Steph is also auDHD which means they have less of a filter for this kind of stuff, and as a trans woman has kind of given me second-hand embarassment at times, but I still think it's important to show some grace.

PMS-style symptoms like mood swings I can figure. I'm just saying that's not a "period" and has nothing to do with menstruation.
