Jamie Raines, a 22-year-old transgender man from the United Kingdom, revealed during a video June 14 the experience of having a menstrual cycle for the first time in nearly four years and detailed the experience to nearly 100K followers.
Shortly after quitting a certain testosterone injection and switching to a less potent form, Raines experienced a cycle for the first time since transitioning from female to male five years ago.
“A little while after I switched … I had a visit from an incredibly, very unwelcome guest,” Raines said during a YouTube video. “I basically got my period for the first time in, like, nearly four years. I felt really kind of very awful about it at the time.
“I was just crying, and it was horrible,” the YouTube star added.
But, Raines continued, “It didn’t make me any less of a man.”
One commenter wrote, “You having your period is Nature telling you that you are a woman, not a man.”
“Maybe you got your period because you’re still a woman?” another posted.
“[A] woman got her period…. big deal,” an unimpressed commenter said.
lol, wonder how the liberal crowd's gonna spin this one? God forbids if he/she marries a woman and she finds out her husband has periods.“Why didn’t you just socially construct yourself to not have a period?” one viewer asked.
And another commenter wrote: “Newsflash [sic], You are a WOMAN!! You may think you are a Man, but your DNA does not change, no matter what you ‘feel.'”
