sapphos-witch-gf:femalesocialization: watermelinoe:officialtransmisogynist: womanposting: i purposely avoid reaching out to doctors and healthcare clinics because i dislike the terminology they use to accurately describe 99% of their patients and actively refuse to be seen for essential routine procedures because the word ‘women’ is icky and bad and makes me feel uncomfortable. im literally fucking dying over here you know you’re a woman but choose to ignore it and then when you get pussy cancer it’s,, the doctors fault for not using inclusive language? you know what, i think i care more about the women who don’t have the language to understand that “cervix owner” refers to them but do know the word “woman” than i do about this maladjusted narcissist weaponizing her mental illness against the rest of us. for me having a pap smear feels like i’m being ripped open, but i’m sure that’s nothing compared to feeling invalidated by your medical forms maybe this is just my experience but for an example when i had a really bad ovarian cyst and had to go to the hospital for it, it was never framed as a “women’s health” issue? even in subsequent checkups where i had to go to a women’s clinic, beyond the name no one was ever like “ah, you’re here for your female problems? your girly, feminine problems? ” they just… described it in normal terms, because it was readily and correctly assumed that if i’m getting an ultrasound for my ovaries, i’m biologically female, they don’t need to remind you. like obviously it’s because i’m a woman, i know that, the doctors know that, and i was at a women’s health center, but like for these people, are they actually going to appointments and getting told these things verbatim? or are they just mad about like, posters that say “Women’s Health! Get Your Pap Smear Today!” Doc prolly said “women your age should start getting a yearly pap smear” and that was too much for her to handle -- source link
