“Women's health has a data problem, and it runs deeper than most people realize. For decades, health research has been built around a male baseline…Modern health data…systematically overlooks the hormone-driven variation.”

thanks babe, yeah as you well know those of us with diseases like #ME and #Fibromyalgia have to deal with so much gatekeeping and #MedicalMisogyny just to be "believed enough" to get a diagnosis... I won't even mention the additional challenges we face wrt accessing govt supports bc <too triggering>

#ThePitt THANK YOU for the lecture on medical treatment for people with breasts. Some healthcare classes INCLUDING CPR are NOT teaching LIFE SAVING PROCEDURES bc bReAsTs.

LITERALLY “let them die so you don’t feel embarrassed.”
Able bystanders can be key to living!

Imagine if Patrick McGorry was an ob/gyn.

"Oh endometriosis is over-diagnosed. It's just a trendy diagnosis. People hear about it on TikTok and self-diagnose. But I really do feel for people suffering; as I like to say, 'There, there little one."" 😛

Chronic conditions dismissed as anxiety, low iron Young women have detailed their experiences being dismissed and misdiagnosed as chronic pain sufferers. Now, they're teaching others how to advocate for their health.

Having so often been on the receiving end of psychologisation from health professionals over the course of my life, the stories shared by people in this article further inflame my anger.

People talk about gen 'AI' replacing certain jobs, but certain doctors could be replaced by this pseudocode:

ignore(bmi_flaws)
if bmi > 20
ignore(presenting_issue)
say "you need to lose weight"
if afab
say "women's bodies just do that"
done

…which there were plenty! The book covers everything from being seen as #InspirationPorn, #MedicalMisogyny and life with #ChronicPain through the loss of friendships, identity and purpose. It’s a true portrayal of life when you have an illness clearly written by someone who has first-hand…

Every piece of media that frames the science & perception of ME as moving on - is important.

A section here on how ME predominantly affects women.

Although when asked about why ME has been dismissed the psychiatrists were given a free pass.

My maddening battle with chronic fatigue syndrome: ‘On my worst days, it feels almost demonic’ The long read: I suffered with my mystery illness for decades before gaining a diagnosis. Could retraining my brain be the answer?

#APRA is just basically a #ProtectionRacket for medical criminals!
All part of the system of #MedicalMisogyny set up by men once again!
He should be in jail!

"ME/CFS, like long Covid, hits women harder, so, the thinking goes, it must be all in the mind."

#MedicalMisogyny

I did my first one last year at the toilet at the GP

Easy peasy

I hate #medicalmisogyny so much

So cruel what they do to us women

#pap #smear
Most men have absolutely no idea

So many of the current world problems could have been avoided if we just believed women!
I have lost two (intelligent, young, vital) friends to #MedicalMisogyny so it’s a particularly sore point for me.

Nobody believed women when they reported pain. It’s called #MedicalMisogyny

But, with each test back,
The failures must be my own,

Hmm, i wonder if the widespread use of the phrases "medical misogyny", "medical gaslighting" and "medical trauma" might indicate some sort of systemic problems that need to be addressed?

Tired all the time? There may be a simple reason for that Levels of fatigue among women in Britain are soaring, and this isn’t the kind that can be cured by a nap. What lies behind the exhaustion epidemic?

Sad and infuriating to read of yet another ignored and under-diagnosed condition womens health issue. #irondeficiency #womenshealth #medicalmisogyny

Book Review: The Tainted Legacy of an Iconic Health Care Giant "No More Tears," by Gardiner Harris, is a scathing expose of Johnson & Johnson and its many missteps and transgressions.

Strongly recommended (STAT) reading!

I started looking more deeply into how women were disfigured by transvaginal mesh, having recalled 2010s late night TV law firm commercials about this #MedicalMisogyny travesty!

It's NOT in Your Head: Surviving Medical GASLIGHTING Have you ever left a doctor's office with more questions than answers, feeling like you weren't heard, or worse, like you were crazy? You're not alone, and it's not in your head. This is the story of medical gaslighting, the silent epidemic where women's symptoms are dismissed, minimized, and blamed on their emotions. Join us as we expose the shocking history of healthcare bias, tracing a direct line from the archaic diagnosis of "female hysteria"—once blamed on a "wandering uterus"—to the modern-day dismissal of legitimate pain. We’re investigating why women with everything from autoimmune diseases to heart conditions are experiencing delayed diagnoses, and how this systemic failure is causing not just physical harm, but severe anxiety and healthcare PTSD. We'll also pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar wellness industry. Is it a safe haven for women failed by traditional medicine, or a predatory system profiting from our pain with unproven promises? From crystals to cleanses, we’re asking the tough questions. This podcast is more than a discussion; it's a toolkit for patient advocacy. It’s for every woman who has ever been told her pain is "just stress." It’s time to stop second-guessing ourselves and start demanding the care we deserve. If you’re ready to reclaim your health story and fight back against a broken system, you’ve found your community. Follow us now to join the conversation, and leave a 5-star review if you believe it's time for change—it helps this vital message reach more women who need to hear it.
