Reported by Gabe UtstuffPORTLAND, OR — Local trans woman Miranda “Chad” Jenkins was reportedly over the moon Tuesday after experiencing what she believed were her very first period cramps just four months into hormone replacement therapy.“I can’t even describe how validating this feels,” Jenkins told reporters while flashing a peace sign and wincing in discomfort. “After all these months on estrogen, I finally felt that sacred feminine connection. The bloating, the cramps… it was all so real. I even bought tampons to celebrate!”Her joy was short-lived, however, when the “period” turned out to be nothing more than the previous evening’s Taco Bell Triple Bean Burrito with extra hot sauce.Gynecologists confirmed that biological males on estrogen cannot actually menstruate, but sources say Jenkins has already sworn off bean burritos “until my next cycle” and is preparing a strongly worded letter to Taco Bell accusing them of “erasing my lived menstrual experience.”
