That's it. That's the post.

But really...this is the mindset shift that will make #traumainformedcare the foundation of #birth care. We need to let go of what we've been told about who is "deserving" of trauma-informed care and offer trauma-informed practices to EVERY person.

[dr. alicia andrzejewski (she/her) @aliciaandrz]

the advice to not announce a pregnancy until 12 weeks+ is insidious. pregnant ppl need accommodation in those early weeks, because of debilitating nausea & because they might have a miscarriage. this rule perpetuates the idea that pregnancy only counts if it results in a child.

White middle class parents of trans kids who are being traumatized by Texas CPS must understand that they are not being treated unfairly by a system designed to protect other people’s children; the family policing system is designed to terrorize & control marginalized families.

@FeministMidwife I've been really happy with kobo! the interface with some of the library apps is a little clunky, but it works. I also like that when I buy an ebook through them the proceeds can be directed to my choice of independent bookstore!
