@NeurologistMom The surgeon insisting that my husband be present in the consultation so he could explain just exactly much of a scar there was going to be on my chest.

FOR A FUCKING BIOPSY OF THE TUMOR IN MY LUNG.

@blackedraven @NeurologistMom If a doctor told me to have sex with my partner more because I wasn��t feeling well, this would want to be my reaction. I’m so sorry you had to experience that.

@NeurologistMom I don’t tell this story often. 1999 I was 27 weeks pregnant and felt reduced fetal movement. Saw OB at hospital,he felt that overweight women feel less movement,wait for next appointment. At 28 weeks my son was stillborn. OB went on to become head of department.#MedicalMisogyny

@lennonfan69 I’m so sorry😔💔

I remember the time when I gave birth to my daughter. They had to keep me in the hospital for 10 days because I wasn’t feeling well. Every time I tried to stand up, I fainted. At one point, I even stopped breathing, according to my husband. He panicked and called a friend who was a cardiologist. The friend’s response was, “You know, sometimes our wives just want attention because they’re going through a hard time.” My husband got angry and insisted that someone be sent to check on me. When the resident came, my husband simply said, “Just watch.” He helped me stand up, and I don’t remember what happened next. When I regained consciousness, I saw a room full of doctors around me, all in a panic because I had stopped breathing again. That’s when they realized it wasn’t just an “attention-seeking” move.

Why am I telling you this? I’m not sure—maybe because I feel that many women, especially those with chronic and complicated illnesses, have had similar experiences. If you want to share yours, quote this with #MedicalMisogyny.

We need to be talking about radicalisation of white men in Australia. If the thousands of men I engage with who @ me not just their racism & misogyny but endless conspiracy theories including thinking they’re being “replaced” are anything to go by we have a real problem simmering

[Kristin Song @kristinsong3]

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

@grumpyoldfool62 The irony if Barnaby gets help, we’ll pay for it while so many deserving Aus receive no help. As for the person who filmed. I think he’s done us a justice highlighting Hypocritical actions from LNP. Seems Barnaby’s negativity finally caught up with him & on display for all to see

@lifeatthenest @LTeacher123 A great point: you've worked hard and passionately, and changed the lives of so many; imho that makes it even more rewarding to enjoy as much time in retirement (or other similar time off) as possible. Your time is invaluable to your soul. I am here only once; me, myself, & I.

@AlexChalkChelt @innovjustice You defending your Cheltenham seat champ ?

Or with a wafer thin majority of just 951 are you another gutless Tory looking to do the chicken run ?

Hope you do stand, can't wait to see you get booted out.
