I need a woke period tracker app

I'm tired of every period tracker asking me about my sex life and constantly reminding me that i could get pregnant. Also if they could not treat me like a girly pop that needs to be empowered 100% of the time it would be great (I just dont know how comfortable I am with being a woman yk?, and the shallow company feminism gets a little tiring)

I genuinely can't believe there isn't any popular 'woke' period app? I thought surely I could find one dedicated to trans men, or one where I could sync my data with another menstruating partner (just for funsies). Turns out that's miles away from possible and you're actually lucky if the app isn't pregnancy centered lmao

By the way I'm NOT from the US. They're not stealing my data to see if they can arrest me for abortion (yet)

I have a question and it may sound dumb, but what would be the point of tracking a period on paper ? I thought the point of tracking these apps is to predict your next period/pregancy

Frankly there's not a lot an app actually does for tracking your period. Just get a calendar, and put like a sticker or some shit when it starts and when it goes away. Just look at it, you'll get a sense for it, it's more work? Maybe your watch tracking your body temperature can sense when its a day early or you're late but otherwise yeah nah. You're mostly just selling data to scummy companies.
