Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

I might be wrong and I’m happy to be corrected here. Isn’t it possible to stop getting your period because of high stress on your body? I would guess living through a post-apocalyptic situation might merit that level of stress. But I could be wrong; I have a pretty cushy life all things considered so it’s not like I have direct experience with this kind of thing.
Humans lived in an environment similar to a post apocalyptic situation for 1000s of years and still reproduced just fine. I'm not saying it isn't a thing at all, but I don't think it would be common or widespread.
I'm not an expert either but yeah stress and poor nutrition can mess up your cycle but I don't think indefinitely.
As in, you might not have a period for several months but sooner or later your endometrium will shed.
Endometrium shedding and taxes, like I always say.
