In honor of Breast Cancer awareness month (October), and the many (way too many) friends we have currently fighting breast cancer, we wanted to do an episode about the doctors and women and medical people who've helped humanity make major strides in various areas of healthcare.  I'm really terrible at posting **TRIGGER WARNINGS**  but I'm trying to be better - women's history is brimming over with traumas.  In this episode we do discuss: miscarriage, along with breast cancer (really just the discovery of a gene that made major progress in the field), transgender health care, gender affirming health care, and clitoral restoration (its a brief mention about a doctor who helps victims of genital mutilation).  There is also a discussion of a badass doctor who did fucking miraculous life saving abortions in  Auschwitz! At the end of the episode we give information for the suicide hotline. And we are always talking about abortion rights.  Plus there's the word bitch, which still triggers a lot of people and that's what we are trying to change.  Both of us feel passionately about women's issues and healing both collective and personal traumas, and we don't feel like that can happen by never talking about things and keeping our collective fear and shame in the dark. So open the windows with us and let's CELEBRATE SOME BADASS WOMEN DOCTORS! PLEASE VOTE IN ALL ELECTIONS OFFERED IN YOUR AREA! <3 https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/SHOW NOTES:find an abortion provider: https://prochoice.org/patients/find-a-provider/?fwp_country_search=united-states&fwp_state_search_united_states=utfinancial assistance for abortion: https://abortionfunds.org/need-abortion/national abortion hotline: https://prochoice.org/patients/national-abortion-hotline/female jewish doctors who changed history:https://www.heyalma.com/7-female-jewish-doctors-who-changed-history/amp/lots of other badass women doctors: https://www.history.com/news/queer-victorian-doctors-women-medicinehttps://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/5-influential-female-doctors/https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/celebrating-10-women-medical-pioneershttps://herstoryofsuccess.com/women-who-changed-the-world-of-medicine/transgender healthcare: https://bit.ly/3CYg261https://bit.ly/3snGlhb***********  National Suicide Prevention LifelineHours: Available 24 hours.
