no you don’t understand my pets just naturally fit into the human gender roles I religiously prescribed and projected onto them from birth as I do with all living creatures it’s not anthropocentrism bro look at this funny tiktok about how wom- I mean girl cats are callous bitches
all boy cats are silly goofy affectionate friendly chill calm and all girl cats are mean aloof sassy bitchy sensitive angry. this definitely has nothing to do with my biases and beliefs about human women.
@justvuyi_@elbecp More than a few doctors brushed me off because "your cycles are regular and not heavy". Neither of which precluded me from endo, adeno, PCOS, fibroids. It's still common to be told to just have a baby to treat endo. Seriously.
@justvuyi_@elbecp Yup. Always pushed hormonal contraception no matter what; despite noting each time I couldn't take it. My current Dr casually said "you're immediately contraindicated; migraines." When I was finally "allowed" a hysterectomy at 38 it was bc "you're too old to have kids now"
@baeoflight@elbecp not when I was going in every few weeks because of stomach pain and chronic fatigue. Not when I was in there because of how painful my periods were but when I mentioned how few my periods were and even then the only medical intervention I received was cycle regulation.
The focus is always on cycle regularity, ovulation induction and fertility preservation rather than lifelong metabolic health. Fibroids are literally benign tumours which cause severe anemia, chronic fatigue, bladder and bowel dysfunction and cardiovascular strain yet we focus on
Infertility is usually the least life threatening symptom of the disease yet it holds the most emphasis. I always use Endometriosis as an example. It literally has the same characteristics as cancer, it can infiltrate your diaphragm, bladder
This fixation on fertility delays diagnosis and limits treatment options. These conditions are taken seriously only when they interfere with pregnancy. Not when they cause chronic pain, damage organs, increase cancer risk, destroy mental health and shorten life expectancy.
Many conditions that are labeled as “fertility” disorders are systemic chronic conditions that affect the entire body yet medicine frames them primarily through the lens of women’s ability to reproduce. Infertility is often treated as the problem when in reality it is a symptom.
I was at a beautician a while ago chatting to the girl who was like 21?ish and she was like I don't care about what men have to say, nothing rude I mostly just ignore them and so do my friends. We're studying, working, doing fun stuff we want to do, they're just not worth it
Crazy how the US has got ICE just executing people in the streets, bombing foreign countries and kidnapping their leaders and wife and Albo is just gonna send them $400 billion for funzies
someone asked on Threads about OxyContin in Australia and it is truly disturbing that people do not know oxycodone we use here is entirely different and they are ALL conflating the two 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm not arguing Lolita with anyone btw it sucks and you all fucking suck for making it popular and I don't give a single flying fuck into a rolling donut what ~the point~ was meant to be because it just sucked.
people are giving Virginia Giuffre's book low ratings because it "lacks detail" and first of all, eww, second of all I will repeat that Lolita became a "classic" (garbage) but a book written from her perspective would be lucky to end up on Oprah and I said what I fucking said.
