Transgender MtF: "I am so moody, I have PMS!"

Cisgender person to MtF: "No you do NOT have PMS, stop cisgender appropriating. You as a MtF do not have a uterus or ovaries. PMS happens in the days after ovulation because estrogen and progesterone levels begin falling dramatically if you are not pregnant. Coming down from your estradiol injection the day "before injection day" is NOT premenstrual syndrome assholes!}.
