It's estimated that around 85% of women experience PMS symptoms at some point in their lives. However it's important to point out that PMS is a largely meaningless term, it can include any one of around 150 different symptoms so such a vague diagnosis that it's simply not useful. PMS is also largely only known of in the Western world, as a diagnosis it doesn't exist in most parts of the world, it's largely considered a sociologically constructed condition not an actual medical condition.

No, trans women do not menstruate or have a menstrual cycle.Trans women don't have a uterus or ovaries, many trans women also don't have vagina's, and thus without the female anatomy they do not experience a menstrual cycle as cis women and trans men. Trans women who take hormones can experience menstrual cycle symptoms, their hormones can be similar to cis women so they may experience hormonal shifts like cis women. PMS is also a social construct so they can experience PMS symptoms like cis women.
