Under the Trans Umbrella Period Help!?

Question

hey there. I haven't seen many people talk about this on here, so I guess I'll throw myself in.
I'm biologically female, but I do not identify as a woman. 
does anyone in my sort of situation have any tips for not feeling terrible about myself as soon as I get the slightest cramps or tenderness?

Answer

It's a difficult moment which brings about dissonance in your life. Your body no longer feels in sync with your mind right? It feels like your body betrayed you. 
I can't imagine what it would be like to deal with that. I think the thing to do is to concentrate on the things you do love about yourself, the things that make you uniquely you. Concentrate on the fact that while difficult, a period does not define you, there is so much more to you than the fact that you bleed sometimes. You are so much more, and a period is just a speck in all of that.
Like I said, I don't have much experience in this specifically, but I do know how it feels to have your body betray you. It's never easy to overcome and having a stark reminder of that makes it so much harder. Take care of yourself and be as sad as you need to be, but remeber to give yourself the love you deserve.

Answer

I know that males don't take birth control, and I hope this suggestion doesn't make you feel worse, but birth control pills stopped my cramps almost completely. My flow is a lot lighter too.
