Yeah I tried googling it, but nearly every other result contradicted the one before it. So I figured Id just ask to save time.

googling the topic title:

https://helloclue.com/articles/cycle-a-z/what-it's-like-to-get-your-period-when-you're-trans

https://theestablishment.co/yes-trans-women-can-get-period-symptoms-e43a43979e8c/index.html

https://periodaisle.com/blogs/all/6-transgender-women-talk-menstruation

https://amp.scmp.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/article/2168930/transgender-menstruation-trans-men-who-endure-it-and-trans

https://www.india.com/lifestyle/do-trans-women-have-periods-1731474/amp/

https://www.quora.com/Do-transgender-people-ever-menstruate-get-periods-What-sorts-of-trans-people-and-how

notably, even from the results that skew no, they concede that trans women experience typical menstrual symptoms:

If we take a period to mean menstruation, then no, trans women cannot menstruate, because they do not have a uterus and thus do not have menses to discharge.
If we take a period to mean a cyclical timeframe of specific symptoms typically associated with menstruation (bloating, moodiness, increased libido, cramping, nausea, cravings, headaches and/or migraines, photosensitivity, vomiting, and/or diarreah), then yes, trans women can and somewhat frequently do get periods.

Even though some trans women who are on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), might experience symptoms like soreness, bloating, dizziness, nausea, abdominal cramps and photosensitive migraine, every five weeks, it cannot be termed as a period.

so no, you didnt Google shit.
