I was talking to a trans girl friend and she was mentioning her period (yes, trans girls get periods - minus the bleeding) and we realised that there wasn't enough information on trans girl periods and their symptoms, as well as how PMS affects them.
This led to us realising that we should probably track her symptoms everyday over one period cycle and get a bunch of trans girls together who are willing to talk about the hormones that they are on, and will allow me to track how they feel over a menstrual cycle. Hopefully, this will lead to an article that I can write that will raise awareness on menstruation for trans ladies.
So if anyone knows a trans girl who is willing to talk to me (no intrusive questions, confidentiality guaranteed, and I promise to be respectful), do send them my way!
Another thing: I've just recently signed up to be a curator for @twt_LGBT, so hopefully I get to curate for them! I've already planned out some of the issues I'd like to discuss - trans issues (which I got a trans girl friend to help me with so I can approach the topic as respectfully as possible), the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality as well as bi-erasure, and intersectionality within the LGBT community.
