Ezra is agitated, ranting to his siblings about the fact that his cycle started our of no where and he doesn't know why because he's been taking his shots and so he very much should NOT have woken up in a puddle of his own kriffing blood.
And he's just going on and on, pacing because he's so annoyed and if he sits he is going to scream.
And then there's Kallus, freshly having joined the rebellion so he has not been told by Ezra that he is trans. Kallus was walking through the ghost to deliver a datapad to Hera. He walked in at "I woke up in a pool of my own kriffing blood." And after quickly assessing that Ezra wasn't dying but was just annoyed, he deduced immediately what the younger meant by it AND that this was not information he was supposed to hear
So he just slowly backs out before anyone sees him.
He's still concerned for Ezra’s situation and can't stop thinking about it so he takes an extended lunch break to research any possible answers for the teenager before sending the most probable answers to him on an anonymous frequency, as well as advice for each that may help.
Later on, Kallus also grabs the kid some of his favourite fruits and snacks from the mess and casually asks Zeb to give them to Ez or just leave them for the kid in their shared room.
Anyway I just wanted an excuse to write this out so enjoy another take on Kallus finding out Ezra is trans 💚
Summary: You’re on your period and shigaraki comforts you and helps your clean yourself after you bled through your pants (you haven’t gotten bottom surgery yet)
Warning: Mention of blood/ female genitalia
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You’re on your period and your cramps hurt so much to the point you can’t move so you lay on the couch curled up into a ball waiting for shigaraki to get home with your tampons and chocolate.
Shigaraki gets home and immediately closes the door and walks into the living room putting down the tampons and chocolate. “How do you feel?” He ask softly sitting down next to you.
“Hmmn” you mumble with tears in your eyes gripping your lower stomach tightly and shigaraki looks down and frowns as he sees the blood soaking through your pajama bottoms.
“Hey let me help I’m wearing my gloves so I won’t hurt you” he speaks in that same sweet raspy voice and he grabs the waistband of your pants and slides them off laying the bloody bottoms on the floor and he grabs the wipes from the coffee table and take one and spreads your legs gently wiping the blood from your inner thighs as you cry silently as you feel feminine and you feel the cramp pain worsening by the moment
“My poor boy..” shigaraki whispers kissing your knee gently and throwing the bloody wipe in the small trashcan next to the couch and taking out a clean wipe and wiping the rest of your thighs before slowly taking off your bloody underwear and wiping the blood off of your sensitive folds casuarina your to let out a whimper and you clench your stomach tightly
“It hurts so bad” you whimper out in a sob and he finishes wiping off the blood and he quickly gets up and picks up the bloody clothes and goes to the bathroom putting them in the washer and coming back with clean clothes and he slowly puts them on you and he pulls your into his arms stroking your hair with his gloved fingers
“I love you I know it hurts but it’s only for a few more days” shigaraki speaks in his high pitched raspy voice and scratches his neck before he goes back to stroking your hair. “I feel too feminine I don’t feel like a boy” you whisper with a cry and shigaraki frowns a bit
“Just because you still have your periods doesn’t mean you’re not a boy you’re the most handsome man I’ve ever seen” shigaraki speaks placing a kiss on your head as you stayed curled up clenching your stomach with your head on his chest crying a bit
You sniffle and close your eyes leaning into his touch as he strokes your hair and your back gently before he scratches his neck again and you open your eyes and look up at him “stop scratching..it makes your neck look..well crusty as toga and dabi would put it” shigaraki chuckles even when you were in pain you were still funny “yeah yeah” he mumbles and kisses your head and you close your eyes again
this will include some tips for everyone, but also some for anyone who binds or wears boxers
drink lots of water. during my last period, I was drinking about 9 cups of water a day, and it made my flow lighter, and it helped with cramps as well.
tea will help with cramps. if you don't have a heating pad (or even if you do), the warmth will help ease your cramps.
change your pad/tampon every few hours. I know they're extremely easy to forget about, so you can set a timer on your phone if you need to remember.
put a towel down on your bed. this will protect your sheets from blood while you sleep.
limit your binding during this time. if your chest is already sore, binding will most likely make it worse. if you can, don't do it at all, but if you can't, no worries! maybe just don't bind for as long as you usually would.
please do not put a pad on boxers. as you may be able to guess, boxers were not made to fit a pad. if you put a pad on them, you will make a mess. put some underwear made for a pad on (anything but a thong from the women's section) or briefs. you can also but the boxers on top of the other pair of you'd like.
make sure you're eating enough. I don't care what you eat, just please make sure you're feeding yourself.
yoga can help with cramps/other pain you're feeling. if you go to YouTube and search 'yoga for periods', there will be plenty of videos that can help you!
if you go to school/work, always keep a little period kit with you. in the kit, you can keep pads/tampons/menstrual cups, etc., a clean pair of underwear, pain relieving pills (but I know some schools don't allow any kind of medication, so if your school doesn't just skip that step if you want), wipes if you use them, a clean pair of pants, and anything else you want.
get plenty of rest! this step is so easy to look past, but it's very important, especially during this time of the month.
lastly, if you don't identify as a woman, please don't let this get to you. you are still 100% valid in your identity, maybe just think of this as a road block. I've seen some transmascs thinking of theirs as their dick missing, hence the bleeding. you are not alone in this feeling, there are millions of people world wide experiencing the same thing as you.
i had a RIDICULOUS amount of gender dysphoria yesterday
initial assumptions were that it was becuz i went to a trans women meetup…..
but maybe i was actually on my trans period???????? cuz like, i was randomly crying and shit
like, not “uterus” period but “ive got way more estrogen in my body than testosterone and i know for a fact it’s altering my reproductive systems” period
10/10 would recommend warmies if you have extra to spend on something cute. They're basically plushies but you can put them in the microwave to warm them up and use them as a heating pad. I bought mine to help with period cramps, but now I'm using them to help with my chronic pain :) (I have the manatee and dinosaur, and named them Wilson and Yoshi)
I know not everyone can afford these, as they're pretty expensive, and capitalism bad, but you have to find joy in the things you can, and for me, that means buying random cute shit.
[image ID: a picture of a gray manatee plushie on a white background. It's just kinda sitting there, but it looks like there's something heavy in it because it spreads out at the bottom.] (please help I've never done an image ID before and idk how to do it)
I'm afab and have pmdd. I'm in the middle of a pmdd episode rn, and I'm really struggling. My pmdd definitely makes my gender dysphoria worse.
This is a reminder to any trans/nonbinary person: your body might not be what you want it to be, you might feel like your body is against you sometimes; BUT you still deserve to take care of yourself!
ALSO A REMINDER THAT NOT EVERY PERSON WHO HAS A CYCLE IS A WOMAN & VISA VERSA!!
I woke up this morning with the shits in an awful way, just... fucking out of nowhere. Just. Abdominal cramping, unable to risk getting off the toilet, horrible.
Sat there for fifteen minutes moaning "whyyyy"
Then I went and lay back down for a bit, only to see a notification on my phone.
"Time." Set for every 28 days. Because of this exact phenomenon.
It's bullshit. I don't even have ovaries or a uterus. Why the fuck can't my body get with the program? It's not affirming or anything because, like, when you talk about this online, people don't fucking believe you. They think you're making it up, or it's psychosomatic, or some other bullshit, but it's just hormones doin' what hormones do.
