We will no longer stay silent or accept thoughtless care. We won’t be brushed off with antihistamines, IBS labels, or painkillers. Menopause, periods, endometriosis, and fibroids aren’t trends to profit from—they’re real health issues. It’s time for women to rise up, advocate, and demand real care.

“Pain is important: how we evade it, how we succumb to it, how we deal with it, how we transcend it.” Audre Lorde. I find this so true of both physical pain and the agony of Trump. So much of these next years is how we react + weather it all. It’s not much but it’s a start. I’m not giving up.
