I am trying to spread awareness about the omission of clitoral neural anatomy from OB/GYN literature. The goal is to leverage social pressure in order to get it added to textbooks and board exams. The effect of this change would be improving female sexual medicine and protecting patients from preventable harm caused by ignorance of this anatomy.

Please reblog 🙏🏻

The most efficient solution would be to get the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology to add this anatomy to board exams. This would force OB/GYN textbooks to add it and OB/GYN residency programs to teach it. ABOG refuses. Enough social pressure would force them to acknowledge and remedy this problem.

If anyone wants to sign up for Medium and clap for my article that would be awesome. If anyone wants to share this on Facebook, twitter, or Instagram, that’s awesome too. I posted it on Twitter here:

Hey y’all, I know it’s been a while but life has thrown me a number of curveballs over the past couple years and Tumblr’s been a bit of a hard thing to keep up with, but right now I could really use y’all’s help.

Due to negligence and mismanagement on the part of doctors at a clinic I was going to for help with my hormones, I lost access to HRT back in November of 2016, and since then I’ve had to contend with homelessness alongside watching all the benefits HRT brought me start to fade away, and let me tell you, it’s been a bad time.

But! I’ve managed to reconnect with my old endocrinologist who is willing to cut me a deal on treatment due to an opening in her patient roster, and so, if I can get together $150 ($75 initial consult + $50 follow-up + $25 blood work) before she is approached by any other new patients, I can get back on HRT with the help of someone who knows me and my history and who I trust to get me back on track with my hormones.

This also means that this is a time sensitive situation, and so if you can’t donate, please reblog and get this out there so I can hopefully finally bring this part of my current life struggle to a close. Thank you!

Holy shit y’all it’s really happening!

Thank you so much to those who donated and spread the word, I can’t explain what a relief it is to know people will still look out for a gal when things are at their worst, and I can’t wait to just put this year-and-a-half long nightmare to rest.

Bless all y’all!

Hey y’all, it’s me.

So, needless to say, things for us have not been going well. I’ve been trying for the past year to get my life together, seek mental health treatment, and find work so I can reach some level of stability, but Portland is clearly not the place to do it. It’s too expensive, nazis are everywhere, and a guy in our building more than likely wants to kill us, so at this point we feel like we just need to get out.

Only problem is, we’ve got no resources to make this happen. Right now I’ve got family willing to provide a space in a storage unit to keep our stuff and a moving truck to drive the stuff to Santa Ana, CA where the storage unit is located, but beyond that, we’ve got nothing.

So, that’s where we’re at, and we really need y’all’s help. I’ve lived on the street before, but my girlfriend hasn’t and I don’t think either of us are in a state of psychological health well enough to do it effectively, so anything y’all could toss our way would do wonders to helping us finally getting some sort of stability, and even if you can’t donate, sharing helps too.

We’ve arrived safely in SoCal and thanks to the donations we’ve received so far, we managed to cover a week’s lodging in a motel, so huge thank you to all who shared and donated for that <3

However, we’re still getting stuff related to EBT and Medi insurance sorted out, so we still need help covering costs for food, meds, and other necessities, as well as further lodging when the week is up, so if you could please keep sharing this around, it’d be a huge help!

Hey everyone, first of all, huge thank you to those who have donated so far, you’re wonderful and I can’t really say thank you enough. 

So, today’s the day of the move, and we’re gonna be w/o internet for the foreseeable future, but please keep spreading this around as we’ve only managed to raise $40, which will keep us fed for a bit, but will dry up quickly.

Again, everything counts in small amounts, so if you have anything to spare, it’d be a huge help.

Like, that’s one of the most insidious things cis people have done to us, create this idea that we suffer because we are trans and not because of how we are treated for being trans. 

I mean, it constituted a huge “discovery” in the psych world when research showed that rampant depression and increased risk of suicide in trans people was tied to how badly we are isolated and alienated, and that conclusion would likely never have been reached without transness first being slowly de-pathologized, and thus not treated as just being something that is conveniently co-morbid with debilitating mental illness. 

Cis people are deeply invested in any narrative that removes their involvement in our suffering and thus places the onus of change on us, demanding we subject ourselves to a psychiatric community that first attempts to obliterate our transness before it even considers helping facilitate it.

This misdirection of responsibility needs to be called out for what it is, an act of violence against trans people at the hands of cis people, and whether its through media, or medical discourse, or casual cissexism, it needs to fucking stop, and y’all cis folk need to hold yourselves accountable for how you perpetuate it.

too many big words I need a summary XP

Cis people spent years assuming that trans people are depressed and kill ourselves at a higher rate than the general population because being trans means that you’re crazy, so of course we’d be depressed/suicidal.

Yet, despite research building that shows that it’s actually largely external factors that cause those statistics, most cis people are unwilling to acknowledge the part they play in causing those factors, and instead try to find new ways to argue that our suffering is in some way our fault. or the fault of some vague, hypothetical thing they aren’t involved with.

As a result, even well-intentioned cis people perpetuate that harm because they refuse to question and examine how their comfort in their assigned gender, and really their entire understanding of gender as a whole, is in part made possible by the things that cause trans people to suffer, and so they prioritize ignoring it for their own comfort’s sake over the importance of acknowledging how it influences the way they think about and communicate with trans people, which leads to them just contributing further to our suffering.

LARGE ATTENTION GRABBING TITLE

Ok to preface this i know I’m entirely aware that this is partially my fault and i’m not nearly in as much need as the people behind a lot of donation posts but I would still appreciate some help. So my girlfriend and I just moved into a new house and we’ve been doing a lot of spending for supplies and furniture and stuff like that and I checked my balance today and got a pretty big reality check. I only have 338.16$ in my bank account and moving into this house took away one of the bigger sources of my income. until I can find a job I’m living on 500 bucks a month before bills and general expenses. So if you could pass this around and maybe part with a spare dollar or two so we have some extra wiggle room. my paypal email is idontknowanycreativenames@yahoo.com and yes i know its a dumb email name i was like 12 ok

Thanks a bunch

Good new everyone! With y’alls help we managed to put together enough money to secure ourselves a new place to live!

We are so deeply grateful to all of you who have reblogged and donated throughout this whole process of getting the both of us to a safe and secure living environment.

Hopefully we can find a better way to thank you all in the future, but for now all we can do is say, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much!

Hey everyone, hate to have to do this, but the people who promised to help us with paying for our new apartment have reneged on that promise without zero communication and rent is now already due, so I’m going to have to reopen this fundraiser. It’ll only take another $800 to get us covered for Dec, and then hopefully work prospects will pick up over the holiday season. As always, everything counts because even if we end up facing eviction, whatever we raise can help go towards storage for our belongings if it comes to that, and please share if you can’t donate because this needs to be done by Monday or else the eviction process is going to be put in motion. I’m sorry this situation never seems to right itself, and I am infinitely thankful for all of your help so far
