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.

    Yeah, the hormonal cycle is real! I take the same amounts of estrogen all month around but still get my period of boob pains for some days every month.

        Yes, that’s what I thought at some first, too. But then they came pretty frequently and I started using a menstruation tracking app. I’ve noticed these period pains 4 years into HRT. So it took quite some time for my body to develop this hormonal cycle.
