i mean, maybe this is my inner “survivor of child abuse” talking, but I am not going to tell abusive parents that they’re bad at bringing up their children without a bullet proof plan with regards to how I could protect my student from the emotional and physical backlash of that meeting.

Important thing to remember about intervening in abuse in general. Any actions taken by others to hold the abuser accountable WILL be taken out on the victim and not the person doing the confronting. Do not confront an abuser about their actions unless you know for absolute certain that you can protect their victim from the fallout.

Just to clarify a couple things:

“Post-menopause” means a woman over 45 who has not had a period for over a year and is therefore through menopause.

If you are post-menopause and experience any vaginal bleeding, even a small amount, see a doctor and get it checked out.

There are other causes of bleeding, including polyps and changes to the uterine lining after menopause due to hormonal changes, which are the most common reasons. BUT cancer is a possible cause, and the earlier cancer is found, the better. Endometrial cancer is extremely dangerous because there is no way to screen for it, so it often advances before it’s found, which, like pancreatic cancer, makes it so deadly.

Here at the end of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, I remind y’all that this is true of all gynecologic cancers. The symptoms are fairly vague for all of them, and aside from cervical cancer, there’s no reliable screening.

But unusual bleeding (or if your period stops when you’re not pregnant or old enough for menopause, which is how mine presented) is something you need to have checked out no matter your age. Especially if it’s in combination with bloating or back/pelvic pain. These can be signs of significant health problems, not just some discomfort you need to push through.

WTF. People with uteruses need to be told this!

I don’t know who wrote this or why, but this writing is just *chef’s kiss*

**Editing to add: I now know that this was said by Lindy West in her book The Witches are Coming. Good to know!

“you don’t actually support trans people until you learn to treat non-passing trans people as their correct gender. non-passing trans women are still women. they’re not men. non-passing trans men are still men. they’re not women. internalize this or leave trans people alone.”
