i remember in primary school during summer when it hit like maybe 25/26°c in the UK and all the teachers were talking abt how it was a heatwave and all of us kids needed to be really careful , drink plenty of water and stay in the shade... and now we're getting >30°c in MAY
im against sex work not in a “sex workers are sluts and degenerates” way but in a “we should live in a society in which exploiting our bodies is not necessary for survival” type of way
The horse failed to clear the final fence, its hindquarters crashing to the ground, sustaining a pelvic injury, yet it was ridden on to the finish.
He won but it cost him his life.
I cant in the right mind advocate for this.
I NEEDED an endometrial biopsy.
I was bleeding for months. Passing clots the size of my palm. Fainting at work. Iron levels in the basement.
Doctor looked at my chart and said:
“You’re only 27.”
“Pain is normal for women.”
“Have you tried losing weight?”
“Sometimes women exaggerate cramps.”
“What if this is just stress?”
I said I can’t function. I can’t stand up without seeing stars. I’m scared.
He said:
“Let’s not jump to invasive procedures.”
“What if you want kids soon?”
“A biopsy can cause scarring.”
“You don’t want to risk fertility over heavy periods.”
Heavy periods.
Not hemorrhaging.
Not anemia.
Not collapsing in the shower.
Heavy periods.
He offered birth control for the fourth time.
I said, “I don’t care about preserving fertility. I care about not blacking out.”
He paused.
“Have you discussed that with your partner?”
So I brought him.
Doctor to him:
“Are you okay if she can’t have children?”
“You’re young. You might want a family.”
“Would that be a dealbreaker?”
Him:
“She needs to stop bleeding. That’s the only family planning we’re discussing.”
Suddenly the biopsy was scheduled.
Pathology came back: precancerous cells.
But sure.
Let’s center hypothetical babies and imaginary men while a woman is actively deteriorating in front of you.
Misogyny in medicine isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s just asking a dying woman if a man might want kids someday.
The times I’ve done CPR on real women, it felt completely different because all our training mannequins basically have male chests.but the moment you say healthcare is built around the Caucasian male body, people start yelling “agenda” like it’s not a documented issue. Be serious
I am very slim and YET my body still looks like this when I sit like a banana. So YES normalize NORMAL bodies. Having organs and skin and fat and body hair is OKAY. Whoever tells you otherwise is pornrotted.
i hope young girls and women don't ever take this shit seriously bc men in REAL LIFE don't give a fuck about stretch marks, hair, discoloration, razor bumps, etc.
