People with perfectly operable uterine maladies become gravely disabled and even die, all because doctors ignore us over "but you need to be a baby factory, it's all you're good for".

Sometimes we're believed, but we're just downright neglected because we aren't even seen as people.

Reminder that people with invisible disabilities aren't the only ones who get ignored and accused of lying by doctors. People with visible and severe, even deadly disabilities aren't automatically believed. Some severely and visibly disabled people die because doctors won't believe that they're really sick, accuse them of faking or exaggerating and deny them treatment. This kind of treatment isn't unique to any one kind of disability, it's something that most or perhaps even all of us have faced at one point or another.

#i don't want to have babies #i literally have tokophobia and i literally don't want to subject a child to my terribad motherhood #and y'all aren't making it any better #pretty damn tired of being treated as a broodmare even when i'm aroace and practically no one pursued me even when i didn't know i was #also i'm already 37 and have been dealing with this nonsense for almost a decade!!!!!#'but hormones' yeah they either make me depressed or make me bleed for 4 months straight so i guess it's either die slowly or die faster #and yes i did get sequels from that one incident #and even if i was forced to get pregnant somehow i might end up dying from shock anyway #either from being unable to sustain a life inside me in my current conditions or from a heart attack due to phobic shock #(or due to suicide because i'd defs kms if i got raped and pregnant and couldn't abort)#so yeah i really damn hate how doctors do that bs #tw rape #tw pregnancy #tw childbirth #tw medical neglect #tw menorrhagia
