Yes assigned at birth! Not typically how I’d write a survey personally but we had to make some tactical decisions based on what the main demographic of our sample will be

Thrilled to announce that I, “Author,” have been selected for the prestigious “Best Researcher Award.”

An unbelievable honor.

🚨New paper alert🚨we find that the option of telehealth is key for trans-affirming abortion care.

Pregnant women do not lack for judgmental, frightening and dubiously factual instructions about their health. Everywhere, they are told that they risk the health of their fetus by partaking in a series of banal everyday activities – be it jogging or having coffee or eating a certain cheese – that they are told will lead, by obscure mechanisms that are never quite explained, to impossible and devastating health outcomes for their children-to-be. The admonishments are multiple and often contradictory, but they all tend to agree on one thing: that it is always good for women to deprive themselves of joy and relief – and to suffer more – for the sake of their fetuses.

I wrote about the Trump administration’s false claims about Tylenol, and the moral—not scientific—burdens they place on pregnant women’s bodies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

The Trump Administration Says IUDs and the Pill Are Abortions 9.12.25

The Trump administration told The New York Times that IUDs, hormonal implants, and the Pill are actually abortions.

That’s objectively false. But it’s telling – they want to ban birth control.

Having a president say the feminine words first means so much to me ¡Viva México!

Just cried watching the first woman president give el grito de independencia in Mexico AMA

Peach labubu in a black T-shirt that says “abortion” in orange letters.

We take a break from your regularly scheduled doom scrolling to let you know that Labubus are pro abortion.

Paper acceptance day!! Our paper on trans experiences with telehealth abortion will finally be out in the world!

Pissed me off so much I had to say something

This instagram influencer is pushing “camel toe concealers” on instagram. It’s unbreathable silicone you insert into your underwear while swimming and exercising to “avoid embarrassment.”

I’m getting a yeast infection just from looking at the product photos. Heinous!!

MOST RECENTLY: The Hunting Wives, mention of an emergency hysterectomy and her wondering if she is “less of a woman”

When I’m watching something and someone mentions hysterectomy

The president is pro-domestic violence

Thank you!!

"We no longer have formal eugenics boards, but we see trickles of this eugenics logic continuing in healthcare and in the carceral system. It’s eugenics logic at play when migrant women in detention centers aren’t seen as worthy of reproduction, and so forced hysterectomies were deemed acceptable. And then, when we see this growing pro-natalist movement, this growing movement among highly educated white billionaires to increase the birth rates of other white billionaires—abortion bans are fueled by eugenics—we’re continuing to see this desire to repopulate the earth with the “right” kinds of people and to reduce the birth rates of other types of people."

In the newsletter, I incl. a quote from @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social in a recent interview w/ @thenation.com, saying "we no longer have formal eugenics boards, but we see trickles of this #eugenics logic continuing in #healthcare...the #carceral system...[& the] growing pro-natalist movement" (24/?)
