It’s been a few years, but every now and then I get gut punched with little things of would-be reminders. This started with a “My body does its best to survive because it loves me” post on FB.
[thread] About 5-ish years ago, I was sick and puking up random things where I normally was fine. It was RenFaire season and I put on my corset only to have a subsequent breakdown about how it no longer was comfortable, I’m getting fat, etc, etc.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I’m now working 4 10s plus my full weekend gig and my “rest day” of vacation off to rest up lands me in the ER bleeding profusely from my crotch where I nearly pass out a few times because my blood pressure tanked (53/48 suuuucks).

This week, .@jetzt ran an article about endometriosis in Germany.

"...Endometriose... obwohl das eine der am häufigsten auftretenden gynäkologischen Krankheiten ist, haben die meisten Menschen noch nie von ihr gehört."

Folks. We have to talk about our illnesses. There is no shame in talking about #endometriosis
This is not okay: "Im Durchschnitt dauert es für Frauen in Deutschland zehn Jahre von den ersten Schmerzen bis  zur Diagnose Endometriose. „Viele Frauenärzte sind offensichtlich nicht gut darin geschult, Endometriose zu erkennen“, sagt Sylvia Mechsner."

Plus, a thread on how transwomen retain (at least some) male privilege 👇🏾
What is #maleprivilege? It is freedom, resources, rights, and respect granted instantly to any male person upon (or even before) birth, simply for being male. Having an advantage over another group of humans doesn’t just stop at laws.
When men don’t feel constantly threatened with violence and harassment for just existing. When medical conditions affecting males are given more funding and are more rigorously researched. When men get more pay and are promoted faster due to being seen as more competent in jobs.

How gender identity politics is endangering #WomensRights masquerading under the guise of “progressivism”- or in other words, as I said to this @notokyriarchy fatherfucker, an #MRA’s dream come true

I shouldn’t have to explain the realities of sex-based oppression in 2018! #Female is a biological sex. #Gender is the roles and norms that are imposed on those with female bodies to subjugate them to males for free sexual, domestic, and reproductive labor.
No matter how many genders a given culture had or recognized, somehow, the half of the group with a cock and balls (males) knew which other half of the group to forcibly impregnate (“#NonMen”, according to some). 🤔🤔🤔
