Normally, a person looses around 40ml of blood per period with people having 450 periods on average in their life. This means that on average a person would loose 18l of blood from menstruation alone. With the average human having between 4.5l and 5.7l, you'd only need to sacrifice 4 people to the menstruation gods to never have to shed blood for that ever again. ~~In my experience, it works best when sacrificing transphobes or terfs.~~
As a quick side note: I hate it when someone refers to it as a "pseudo-period". The hormonal cycle is very very real, I can assure you that.
I'm ignorant about this – AMAB people who've undergone HRT experience the same hormonal flux as people with uteruses? Does that come with cramps, sickness, libido changes, etc? I guess it can vary from person to person and/or what age someone underwent HRT?
Please correct me if I'm misusing terms! Totally honest questions.
Yeah pretty much.
I'm currently in my hormonal cycle and I'm feeling pretty sick and needy and while cramps are rare (at least for me), they do happen for some odd reason and even researchers don't really know why.
Btw even cis guys have a hormone cycle but it usually doesn't have an effect like with estrogen.
(Also since you've asked, please don't use my words and stuff as a reference to how to use terms in the situation... English isn't my first language sadly)
