Medical Gaslighting - Warum Frauen länger auf eine Diagnose warten

Und die beiden Frauen in der Reportage sind weiß, gebildet & nicht finanziell schwach.

Je marginalisierter desto scheiße.

Es gab dazu von betroffenen Frauen schon genug Posts, Artikel, ja sogar ganze Bücher....

#ForcedSterilization of #DisabledPeople Isn’t a Relic of the Past

In a majority of states, #eugenics-era laws still let doctors sterilize disabled patients against their will.

by Julia Métraux
February 27, 2025

"'In order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence,' Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote for the majority in 1927’s Buck v. Bell, the state could—and should—'prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.' Forced sterilization, the court held, was not only legal but laudable.

"In 1924, 17-year-old Carrie Buck was institutionalized, having been deemed 'feebleminded' on the grounds of 'promiscuous' behavior. In reality, Buck was raped by her foster family’s nephew. Three years later, with the Court’s blessing, Virginia’s 'State Colony of Epileptics and Feeble Minded' sterilized Buck against her will. The decision, passed at the height of the 20th-century eugenics movement, has never been overturned.

"'There’s a very different standard being applied to disabled people’s autonomy.'

"To this day, 31 states and #WashingtonDC, still have laws on the books that allow for the practice—and just two, #Alaska and #NorthCarolina, have laws that fully ban the #nonconsensual #sterilization of disabled people, according to a 2022 report from the National Women’s Law Center. There’s no official account of just how many disabled people have been sterilized under those laws.

"Some of these laws aren’t even that old. In 2019, #Iowa and #Nevada passed new forced sterilization laws that applied to people under #guardianship. Both bills passed unanimously, and the end result is consistent with laws on the books in other states. There was no discourse among politicians—let alone objections—about the ethics of sterilizing disabled people without their consent.

"Sterilization and Social Justice Lab co-director and founder Alexandra Minna Stern said that early IQ tests, which sought to measure intelligence in part on the basis of class- and culture-based questions involving Beethoven’s sonatas, the early United States, and college athletics, were 'used to categorize people who would then be targeted for sterilization,' generally those who were '#marginalized or maligned in some way': in #California and the #Southwest, often #MexicanAmericans; nationwide, #Black, #Indigenous and #poorer white Americans, particularly women. The people behind the tests, Stern says, were 'white, #elite men who wanted to create a certain type of society in their own image.'

"NWLC senior counsel for health equity and justice Ma’ayan Anafi, who is also disabled, told Mother Jones that “forced sterilization laws are a really powerful example of how violations of disabled people’s bodies and rights are baked into our legal system today.”

#Vermonters join national movement to #ProtestTrump administration policies

Hundreds of protesters took to the Statehouse steps in #MontpelierVermont on Wednesday as part of nationwide efforts to resist the president’s recent actions.

by Erin Petenko February 5, 2025, 2:22 pm

"Hundreds of Vermonters joined a protest against the Trump administration on the steps of the Statehouse on Wednesday — part of a national movement to resist President Donald #Trump’s policies since he came into office two weeks ago.

"The #protest movement, titled 50501, is a decentralized initiative to bring protests to every state capitol in the nation. Vermonters arrived at the Statehouse in Montpelier with signs, flags and chants, despite the blustery 13-degree weather. [it was a balmy 24 degrees here in Maine.]

"The themes of attendees’ signs ranged from objections to #ElonMusk’s involvement in the administration to supporting #LGBTQ+ rights, #AbortionRights and the #Palestinian cause. If any thread unified the protesters, it was the desire to push back against what they said was Trump’s anti-democratic approach to his presidential power and harm to #marginalized people.

"Several state legislators attended the protest, joining in on chants and speaking to folks in the crowd. Among them were Rep. Mari Cordes, D-Lincoln; Rep. Saudia LaMont, D-Morristown; and Rep. Jubilee McGill, D-Bridport, who told VTDigger the Trump administration had been front-of-mind for them, not only as individuals but also as representatives of a small state likely to be heavily affected by Trump policies such as his proposed tariffs."

"It is reductive to say that cis #men are not allowed to #experience or express their #emotions under #patriarchy, as is commonly claimed. #Cis men are not only allowed but encouraged to express any and all emotions under patriarchy. What they are actually discouraged from doing is expressing emotions in ways that do not serve to differentiate them from #women and other #marginalized #genders. Cis men can be angry, just not in the way women are angry."

Nox and the Pack :Fire_Enby:

Somehow a young white tech bro found our profile and requested to follow us. I vet every follower and so I was immediately sceptical when I saw a non-critical toot with a picture of Trump.

Obviously I straight up hit them with "what do you think about Trump and Musk?".

I kid you not, their answer was: "Why should I think about them?" I never blocked someone so fast, lol.

The irony of them "follow request"ing us mere minutes after I tooted this:

“This change comes as part of broader corporate rollbacks of #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion (#DEI) programs, seemingly aligning with the GOP’s #farright agenda and signaling a disregard for the #safety of #marginalized communities”

“While I have always believed that we are not going to be saved by #rainbow #capitalism, it is shocking how quickly years of work have been erased”

Truthout · Amazon Quietly Rescinds Pledges to Protect Black and LGBTQ Rights“Seeing DEI being rolled back so aggressively by so many companies is jarring,” said LGBTQ researcher Allison Chapman.
