A single unified LGBTQ+ conversation

... There are people who want that?

Why?

Everything I've heard about menstruation makes it sound like, basically, the worst thing ever. Like, I guess I understand wanting the "authentic female experience" but... at that point you're just torturing yourself.

That makes sense.

The way I see it, lack of a period is the one gift I've been given for being born with a penis. And, y'know, all the social stuff that comes with being a dude, but I'm throwing all that away, so it doesn't count.

Does not compute

Brain shutting down

My mum keeps telling me that the fact I won't be menstrating's a bonus. All things considered, I'd take it in exchange for a uterus, but £15 sounds a bit dear. Is that what tampons normally cost?

The doctor's have informed me that I'm no longer registered at the old practise, but I'm still waiting to hear from the new one.

I also just got back from a 06:00 shift...tired...

It's maybe 15 dollars for a giant box of like 96. I have no idea. I assume you don't have to continuously change the ones Smokey linked to though.

It's generally around £2/$3 for a box of 20, so it's quite a bit more expensive than it may seem.

Still, I'll leave my comments away because of how I can get.

If it was just a dilator disguised as a tampon for discretionary reasons I guess it wouldn't be so bad.

how does it do it? i'm also guessing it only gives the blood, and only when you want it? so there's none of the stuff that people really can't tolerate about the period?

As if bleeding isn't in the list of "things people hate about periods".

but like, it just is always bleeding? does this thing make that happen or is it just when you make it bleed?

Well judging from this:

That implies it's always bleeding.

Also Smokey, I'm not trying to make you feel bad for being excited about this because I understand in a very abstract way why this is something to look forward to for you, but at the same time this is a subject that is completely horrible for me, so I can't really disguise that either.

It's apparently got a capsule full of stuff that bursts or breaks down when exposed to body heat or something, releasing the stuff.

what happens to the capsule? and there's still none of that "stomach blendering" cramps? do i sound like an idiot? as has been previously mentioned, there is very little by the way of sex ed and so knowledge

I would assume the capsule dissolves or gets released like the actual egg would.

And it's not the stomach that cramps affect... I'm sure if somebody wanted cramps they could just get somebody to punch them 2-2.5 inches below the bellybutton.

I was gonna make a joke about this capsule not using human blood but I realised that I'd just sound like a jerk.

I'm trying to come up with a clever threat to make about Rosvo's human blood but I just can't find it.

nice

That wasn't a fucking joke

Here's the joke, so you know what to kill me for.

"The problem with this tech is that it doesn't use actual human blood.

If it did, it'd be perfect."

Oh trust me Rossy, that's not what I'm going to kill you for. <_<

Now I'm curious about the reason.
