He acknowledges being born with male external anatomy and XY chromosomes, and that medical scans show no uterus or ovaries.<br class=\"html-br\" \/><br class=\"html-br\" \/>Despite this, he asserts that his body somehow formed an internal female reproductive structure that lacks a normal vaginal opening. He claims this structure connected to his colon instead, so the blood from his supposed cycle leaves the body through the rectum.<br class=\"html-br\" \/><br class=\"html-br\" \/>He has described the bleeding as occurring monthly along with unexplained mucus, and has said doctors are \u201cbaffled\u201d by his condition.<br class=\"html-br\" \/><br class=\"html-br\" \/>These claims circulated widely after he entered the Maine Democratic Senate race and participated in a debate.<br class=\"html-br\" \/><br class=\"html-br\" \/>Medical consensus holds that biological males do not menstruate, as menstruation requires a uterus and the associated female reproductive system. Webb\u2019s account remains a personal claim without independent medical verification presented in public reporting.<br class=\"html-br\" \/><br class=\"html-br\" \/>Accordingly, Maine Democrats have narrowed their U.S. Senate field, removing several candidates including transgender activist Webb from the list of those qualified for the party\u2019s nominating convention.<br class=\"html-br\" \/><br class=\"html-br\" \/>After the filing deadline, the party verified signatures and eligibility requirements.
