Medical Misogyny Project

[BlueVelvet94]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all keeping as upbeat as possible. My post isn’t necessarily helpful from an advice perspective but more so a request from you all! I have PCOS and endo, and recently underwent fertility care (due to misinformation). I am an amateur artist and I’m starting a project based on the findings of Medical Misogyny in the NHS, the report (published last year) flagged that female care is sorely undermined (no surprise there then).

In order to create the most relevant work, I’d be grateful to hear of any images, words, descriptions etc that you would like to see in art form. One aspect is self-portraiture, but I’d like to work outside that too and try and create work that reflects all of our experiences.

✨Many thanks in advance to anyone who replies xx ✨

Gaslighted. Unheard. Apathy. Othered.

PCOS has robbed me of the future I thought I’d have, but I also feel relief at finally coming to terms with childlessness, and I can fully work towards adventures I never knew whether it was prudent to plan.

I’m wishing you the very best on your adventures ✨❤️💖
