As a neurodivergent, fat, perimenopausal woman, I think it's important to note that we don't turn to each other on the internet for info and support because we don't trust doctors. It's because consistently doctors don't trust us as valid narrators of our own experiences.

Ok what the actual fuck, @wired.com!!!! Calling perimenopause a “buzzword” is wild, misogynist work that minimizes a decades long feminist movement to raise awareness about women’s health This article could have been good but instead is … very very bad

one of the best parts of my job is talking to scientists about really cool research that they are really passionate about!
