1/ A very compelling story about how #Women's #Pain & especially #Black women's pain is dismissed and disregarded by the healthcare system.

2/ The story begins with a woman with sickle cell & her horrifying experience in the hospital. It also discusses pain from syndrome's unique to women, like endometriosis or fibroids.
3/ Pain is a feminist issue. #PainToo must be believed. First, there is the dismissal of women's accounts of their own bodies, tracing to a history of dismissal of symptoms due to absurd misconceived views of #Hysteria in women. Trans folks get the same treatment, or worse.

🚨🚨🚨Vulnerable tweet/thread alert. 🚨🚨🚨

Over the coming weeks, I am going to start a series of tweets & even act like a millennial and hashtag them as #Mythbusters #paintoo #painsplaining #painstigma and #painshaming.
Today is vulnerable part - why I think this is necessary.

I’ve been public that I used opioids after a surgical injury to my spinal cord left me unable to sit or stand and severely limited in walking. #paintoo #painsplaining #painstigma #painshaming

I’ve never been more aggressively shamed, reduced or had my intelligence questioned more than since publicly donning the cloak of a pain patient. #paintoo #painsplaining #painstigma #painshaming
