What It's Like To Get Your Period As A Trans Guy

Being transgender often comes with a slew of complications, many of which mainstream society doesn’t think or talk about.

Take, for instance, how a trans man would deal with the reality of having a period.

While there is certainly no universal trans experience, YouTuber and Outspeak partner Jamie Raines created a video after seeing a lack of real information for trans men who menstruate to discuss their cycle.

“I made the video because it wasn’t something I ever saw talked about when I still had periods and they were situations that I felt rather alone in and uncomfortable with,” Raines told The Huffington Post. “So I wanted to make a video that took a lighthearted view on making these situations more known, and to show people that they aren’t alone.”
