Yup, scorches my groove too.
When men in the pub commented on my menstrual cycle in reference to a perceived bad mood (which I never had in the pub anyway) I'd talk them through in detail why I don't currently have periods.
Most of them took it quite well (in a couple of cases actually interested) and some looked shamefaced. Same with happy pill digs, in which case I explained about depression and the effects of an SSRI like paroxetine, and why I wasn't on fluoxetine - the generic form of Prozac.
If people are going to make personal comments about my bodily function or medication they're going to get more than they bargained for.
In the name of education of course.
