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.
