desirable_dialogue<a href="https://zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@broadwaybabyto</a> I'm sorry you needed to go through all this. Thanks alot for bringing viability to this issue. I had a case where I criticised a doctor to treat me like I'm just being 'hysterical'. Guess what his response was: 'Here's the door. If you don't like my treatment, leave' ....but this fuxkin clown was at the same time actually refusing to give a treatment. Medical systems under <a href="https://ni.hil.ist/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchy</a> are rotten at their core.

BroadwaybabytoIn my twenties, I was denied a medically necessary hysterectomy because I “might meet a man who wants kids” I fought for years to get the surgery, spending weeks out of every month stuck in a hospital bed needing iron and blood transfusions. Too disabled to work. Fainting almost daily. In constant pain. No matter how sick I got, the hypothetical future husband and baby came before my health. What these imaginary beings might want was more important than what I needed. When I finally had the surgery, I had a severe post operative complication. The surgeon didn’t believe me. She sent me home. I had to go to the ER four times before they found the life threatening internal bleed. Each time dismissing me as “attention seeking” or accusing me of not understanding some pain was to be expected. My then boyfriend saved my life. He got loud and refused to take me home, saying he was convinced I would die. It turns out, he was right. I had a giant bleed in my belly and an infected abscess that had been growing for weeks while they gaslit and ignored me. It was a hell of a crash course in medical misogyny, as well as the need to always have an advocate in healthcare settings:<a href="https://medium.com/@thedisabledginger/what-my-hysterectomy-taught-me-about-medical-misogyny-and-advocacy-e7d6e7294af8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@thedisabledginger/what-my-hysterectomy-taught-me-about-medical-misogyny-and-advocacy-e7d6e7294af8</a><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogyny</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronicillness</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchy</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/womenshealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenshealth</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/obgyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obgyn</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/hysterectomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hysterectomy</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/childfree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#childfree</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/medicalmisogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medicalmisogyny</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabilityjustice</a>

BroadwaybabytoWomen’s rights and bodily autonomy are under attack, but it’s important we remember the role medical misogyny plays in endangering our lives. It’s not new, and it’s only getting worse. When I wanted a tubal ligation, I was denied because I wasn’t married and thus couldn’t get my husband’s ‘permission’. When I was told I was unlikely to survive a pregnancy, I asked again and again I was denied because I might ‘meet a man who wants kids.’When I needed a hysterectomy, doctors sought the permission of my 22 year old boyfriend of less than THREE months. They asked him if he would leave me when I became ‘barren’. Men who want a vasectomy do not have to jump through these hoops. Their body, their choice. None of us should need a man to consent in order to get the care we want and need. It’s archaic, patriarchal bullsh*t and we must keep calling it out. <a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/pregnancy-will-likely-kill-you-but" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.disabledginger.com/p/pregnancy-will-likely-kill-you-but</a><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogyny</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchy</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/womenshealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenshealth</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bodilyautonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bodilyautonomy</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/obgyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obgyn</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mybodymychoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mybodymychoice</a>

Estelle Platini‘Each person is […] bound by different moral commitments towards the aggressor – depending on the position held and the relationship with one or the other’.‘In the extended family, friendship and professional circles within which incest is reported, some, now adults, have obviously themselves been victims of abuse, others have been or still are abusers. In the vast majority of cases, these incestuous acts, whether suffered or imposed, have not been reported to the courts or made public.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesThis is an older article from February 2025, but I thought it might be worth sharing here in the wake of Trump's attempts to transform the civil rights section at the Department of Justice into a fascist attack dog that works only to further his authoritarian ideological goals. Within three weeks of Downmarket Mussolini's inauguration, the regime had already repurposed the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights towards prosecuting Trump's Christian Nationalist agenda, while actively sidelining investigations into racial abuse, disability access, and even sexual assault.<a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/department-of-education-civil-rights-office-investigations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.propublica.org/article/department-of-education-civil-rights-office-investigations</a>“We’ve Been Essentially Muzzled”: Department of Education Halts Thousands of Civil Rights Investigations Under Trump"In the three-and-a-half weeks since Donald Trump returned to the presidency, investigations by the agency that handles allegations of civil rights violations in the nation’s schools and colleges have ground to a halt.At the same time, there’s been a dramatic drop in the number of new cases opened by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights — and the few that attorneys have been directed to investigate reflect some of Trump’s priorities: getting rid of gender-neutral bathrooms, banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports and alleged antisemitism or discrimination against white students."I don't really think it's a coincidence that Trump and his Education Secretary Linda McMahon (a woman extremely active in the cause to privatize education and promote religious voucher schools) immediately prioritized the same winger bullshit at the DOE as the regime is now trying to force the DoJ's civil rights division to pursue; namely discrimination against white people, alleged antisemitism, and women's rights - but only in the extremely narrow context of keeping trans women out of women's sports and bathrooms. This is a Christian Nationalist government, actively working to install a Christian Nationalist political and social order on the United States by whatever means legal, or extralegal, it requires to do so.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LindaMcMahon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LindaMcMahon</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DepartmentOfEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DepartmentOfEducation</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTransPogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiTransPogrom</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DoJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoJ</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteSupremacy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Patriarchy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityRights</a>
