Have you ever been in a bathroom stall and needed to throw away a used tampon or pad, but realized there was nowhere to put it?

I have ― almost every single day that I have my period. Why? Because I use the men’s bathroom.

I am a nonbinary trans menstruator ― someone with a uterus that bleeds monthly, but who identifies outside of the fixed categories of male and female. Because of that, I have to navigate the challenges of getting my period every month in a world that refuses to acknowledge that not everyone who gets their period is a woman, and not every woman gets their period.
If that's the way you roll, just carry ziplock bags, or just use the ladies' room. Don't ***** about it

I'm sorry, I just must be old.

Can't say I know anyone who identifies as a nonbinary trans menstruator.

But I do use mens restrooms and every mens restroom I've ever been in has a trash bin. Maybe this person could you know, use the trash bin?

When it comes to trans issues, anybody whose worldview was fully formed before 2015 is "old."

I know. Remember when people didn’t tell the world about stuff like periods and who they slept with and no one cared? I miss those days.

to those claiming the OP is a woman, because only women menstruate, you are all wrong on this. it sounds to me like the OP was born an hermaphrodite, meaning they have BOTH male AND female genitals. usually the choice is made for the child when they are very young by the parents, but in many cases, the parents leave it to the child to make up their mind when they are ready.


people, try reading up on hermaphrodites and educate yourself. i realize it is confusing in this day in age when idiots who are one sex or the other decide to identify with the opposite sex, but hermaphrodites dont get that luxury.

That’s not what it sounded like to me. Here is the direct quote:

He said indentifies outside of the fixed categories of male and female. I’m still trying to figure out what other category there is, but I didn’t get any sense that he was a hermaphrodite.

I see no evidence that this person is a hermaphrodite. She's a biological female with gender dysphoria who is coping quite well thank you, carving out a niche as a menstruation activist, posting pictures of herself manspreading on a park bench with a bloody crotch. Hooray for 2018!

Ought to be smart enough, male or female, to know you don't wear white pants when you have your period

If you have Showtime, you might give the series 'Billions' a look:

Great--since she's nonbinary, she can use the women's restroom when she has her period and the men's when she doesn't, thus experiencing the best of both worlds.
