Some of those aren't really optional... I'd love to not menstruate, but I gotta wait for menopause for that. Not my choice to bleed for several days and get major cramps and back pain every month. It just happens.

I think it was more a commentary for trans women being women

Also old. And women who’ve had hysterectomies. And intersex women.

And women who are very underweight.

I had a hysterectomy. Kept the ovaries as to not start menopause. It was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

So technically I have my periods hormonally but don't bleed or feel pain, so there's that option if you don't plan on ever having kids.

If you can tolerate the birth control pill, take it continuously, skipping the placebo pills. I did this for years (at my doctor's direction) and never had to have a period. It was awesome. Unfortunately I had to go off the pill to start HRT for perimenopause and now aunt flo is back >:(

Taking the Pill has never really been something I considered since I'm not a fan of taking pills outside of medical necessity (exception for ibuprofen because pain sucks). I also kind assumed force blocking it permanently would be really bad for some health reason.

If it's not though and I can really just deleteit like that... Very much worth looking into. Useful to know!
