just wanted to pass along that I learnt recently from this comic about “progestin-only-pills” (POP) which can be taken by trans men to eliminate periods without taking estrogen (a lot of birth control pills have estrogen which obviously don’t work for trans men).
As an aside, I do know a trans man IRL who reported hating taking progestin when he was pre-transition, so it’s not like I can personally vouch for this method or know anyone who has done it and reports it works for them. Progestin-releasing IUDs however are something I know cis women have had inserted and who would recommend it (though IUD insertion may or may not be extremely painful, so …).
Shout out to the lovely women in my life who suffer from periods,
And my lovely BF who gets periods too XD fml
