On endometriosis, disability, and academia. Been suffering a lot with endo pain recently (2/52 each month actually), and it’s given me a lot of anguish about my clinical and academic career (+ financial)

Thinking of you, I’m so so sorry🥺🫂🫂🫂🫂that was so so so quick and unfair🥺🫂🫂🫂

And- spoiler alert- further data showing more frequent association of women-gendered terms with stigmatising and blaming language, often in contravention of good practice guidelines about professional usages.

Anyway- fab work @geekydr.bsky.social. It was a pleasure to meet IRL!

The #GenderBias continues with a plethora of terms codifying women by bodily functions (including the teeth-grindingly awful 'girls of childbearing age/potential') vs just 3 for men, none of which mention men's reproductive age/potential. C'mon @nicecomms.bsky.social , sort it out. 😵‍💫

🥺🫂I’m not, things wouldn’t be this bad if I was, but everything is so much easier in hindsight 😞we learn 😞

Tbh it was invented back 2 millennia BC it was just called “hysteria” lol

(2/2) tells you about this in med school. No one preps you for the fight you have as the only medic of working class parents. To fight for their care, to be the mediator, to fill in the gaps of poor medical communication, to give them hope even when you have none left #fuckcancer

I wish, but that’s already not working, or going somewhere else 🥲

We could probably do better by crowdfunding lol
