Because it never fucking matters much when it's about women's health, huh?
ETA: A really regrettable number of transphobes have got hold of this, so, to anyone coming to this who isn't a hateful person, be aware of that.
According to The Guardian, there is a growing medical consensus supporting the idea that there are three different types of endometriosis, which up until recently had all been treated the same. Though all forms of endometriosis involve tissue similar to that found inside uterine walls growing in other parts of the body, this “errant tissue,” as doctors call it, is not always the primary cause of the pain they experience.
For those with the type of endometriosis that causes painful ovarian cysts, surgery is often the best option. However, new research has found that 80 percent of those who suffer from the disease actually have the superficial form—known as peritoneal endometriosis—and their pain is caused by the ways that nerve endings interact with the tissue, rather than the tissue itself.
Because surgery involves doctors slicing through nerve endings in order to cut out that tissue, it’s likely to cause patients more pain in the long run. Often, doctors attempt these surgeries multiple times.
Scientists have known about the different categories of endometriosis for a decade, but they have only received funding for further research in the past five years. And it is only recently that endometriosis has been taken more seriously: Historically, many doctors have not believed patients who report their pain, despite nearly 40 percent of people with endometriosis reporting pain so severe it has resulted in an emergency room visit, according to a 2020 U.K. study...
Someone said something to me today and it really hit me hard. Someone told me that my mind understood what happened but my emotions are still trying to catch up to understand it too.
I understand that how people treat you isn't how they feel about it, it's how they feel about themselves. People can't give what they don't have. Eve though your actions have made it very clear to me the liar and coward that you are. It still doesn't take away the pain you have caused. In your quest to not hurt you, you hurted me instead. I was collateral damage for your lack of sympathy and kindness. I was collateral due to your traumas and lack of emotions.
In the end having understood that I still hope you deserve what you deserve. I have no sympathy and kindness for those that couldn't showed me the same. Not while I have given so much to you in the past. I have given my love, time, energy, intentions, my heart, my soul, my body and my money towards you. All to be played, lied to, disregarded, disrespected and ghosted by someone who can't give me the same in return.
I hope you have a mediocre life. I hope everything you do is mediocre. You're mediocre who deserves mediocre. I hope this guilt, shame and regret haunts you forever. Hope that bitch makes you miserable cause you'll never find someone like me ever again. I'm too high price for you.
