10 Things I Hate About Uterus

did you know that there’s a labubu in london’s lesbian bar

come hang and chat about uteruses next Wednesday in LA!

Talking about my book with @leximcmenamin.com this Friday in Philly if you're able to come!!! registration link below

Thrilled to see Andréa Becker's and her new book "Get It Out"
featured in Mother Jones!

It's a wake-up call on women's healthcare biases.

By 65, 1 in 5 US women have a hysterectomy, yet gyn research gets only 2% of NIH funding.

loved this interview. tons of extremely perceptive stuff in here

“The National Institutes of Health was given a list of words that they can use to slash funding or to reject a research proposal. One of those words is women. So we can see [the lack of research] is going to get much worse.”

thank you! :)

The surgery that reveals everything that's wrong with women’s health care From "wandering wombs" to modern biases, the troubling politics of hysterectomies

GET IT OUT in Mother Jones today :) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

showed my book some london sights

It’s a Surgery That’s Often Viewed as a Tragedy. For Many, It’s Actually a Wonderful Choice. The truth about hysterectomies may surprise you.

1 in 5 people born with a uterus will have it removed—but not everyone is sad about it. For some, it’s the best choice they’ve ever made.

talked about my book at london’s vagina museum :)

. @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social‬, author of Get It Out: On the Politics of Hysterectomy will be in conversation with Helen King from 7:30pm on 25th July at The Vagina Museum
@nyupress.bsky.social

And they were womb mates... this Friday, join Andréa Becker and Helen King for a lively discussion on the history of the uterus and its uncertain future. How has the uterus been subjected to gatekeeping over time? www.outsavvy.com/event/27287/...

had the best book launch week :)

Excited to see @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social discuss her new book! Fearing that “Get It Out: on the Politics of Hysterectomy” will be very timely

Newsweek’s infamous 17 July 1995 cover: “Bisexuality: Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges.”

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

this is tonight!!!

Women's reproductive rights have long been under attack.

But as Andrea Becker explores in "Get It Out: On the Politics of Hysterectomy," they are attacked along racial and gendered lines. Out today, read more about the interlocking systems of inequality in reproductive health.

thank you! :)

Andréa Becker on the Politics of Hysterectomy A conversation with the medical sociologist about her new book, Get It Out, and the perils of considering abortion, hysterectomy, and gender-affirming care as separate issues.

Recently featured in The Nation, @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social discusses her new book "Get It Out" and its exploration of the hysterectomy through race-, age-, and gender-based lenses, as well as its enmity with fascism.

GET IT OUT in Slate lets gooooooo

Thrilled to finally say my book is officially out!!

I use 100 hysterectomy stories to explore the ways our culture and medical system devalues the uterus and the people who have them.

GET IT OUT in The Nation lets goooooo www.thenation.com/article/soci...

officially launched my book tonight <3

We have over 100 studies that prove that abortion pills, including mifepristone, are extremely safe.

We can’t stand by as anti-abortion groups continue to undermine established science.

Nightmare scenario #1: no one comes to my book launch

Nightmare scenario #2: a lot of people come to my book launch
