Not me first seeing the pics on twitter and thinking Bettel's holding leeks in a coffin, because the top part of the image got cut. For a sec I thought I missed some very important inside joke
As a woman with wonky horomones, it hurts. A LOT. Like sometimes i have to just stand still or curl up for a few minutes. U have to think about it as a guy. For several days, with no breaks, we have an organ that rips itself into shreds internally then expells itself out the related oriface. If that sounds violent, in a good chunk of women, it is literally that violent. For me, my periods come very hard and last only 2-3 days but the pain is almost inbearable in return. The closest explanation for a guy would be to imagine someone put a clamp on ur balls and it would squeeze very hard at random intervals for 4-5 days straight. Also make sure u over eat to the point of feeling bloated n nauseous. U would get pretty close the most extreme pain and discomfort a period can produce. Remember, men can take physical pain better then most women, but the internal nature of a period is a very different sort of pain. Ever stick ur hand in a bowl of fat wet noodles? Think that feeling is inside ur gut. Its not a good feeling.
Trans woman here, when I started HRT and had my first few periods it was really bad. Cramping wasnt super painful per se so much as a constant and intense discomfort. Bad enough to be bed ridden but not constant pain. They got more mild over time (or maybe I got more used to it).
I will say that if you put those things on just the right nerve it will make that muscle contract. So it's a little different from just the pain of the period. But imagine being on level 4 for like a week.
