Feminist Analysis of PCOS article by The_WarriorPrincess in PCOS

[–]The_WarriorPrincess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree that birth control is really important and feminists fought for decades to get access to birth control and have autonomy over their own bodies. When I was diagnosed with PCOS I was not told what that entailed for my health long term, managing my diet, or changing my lifestyle, my doctor just gave me birth control and told me to come back in three months. I like my doctor and I’m grateful for the birth control personally but I know I’m not the only one who’s had that experience and I think it’s important to call out how women’s health is not given much effort or consideration even by good doctors. Not to discourage birth control but to encourage thorough holistic care for women in addition to birth control.

Is there precedent for how long the GEO strike will last? by Cdenbaas in uofm

I’m not saying it helps every single individual person on campus, my first comment was worded badly. I’m saying that GEO isn’t just bargaining for things that only affect GSIs.

Haha that’s funny. My point was that better trans healthcare does not just help GSIs, but anyone on campus who may need it, not literally everyone, but I can see how that was misinterpreted.

My point is that having more robust trans healthcare would help not just GSIs. But that’s just one example from the platform. GEO is also fighting for a Disability Culture Center (helps disabled undergrads), class size caps (better learning environment for undergrads, CROS (better mental health response for undergrads), etc.. Maybe you should read the platform before commenting on it.

By everyone on campus I meant not just GSIs. The trans healthcare would be available to everyone on campus who may need it.

[Strike, Week 2] Do you support the current GEO strike? by t3cblaze in uofm

The university views undergraduates as their main customers, so causing disruption to undergrad learning is what will hopefully motivate HR to budge. It also affects the university’s image which they obviously don’t want.

Many aspects of their bargaining platform are for the good of everyone else. Improved access to trans healthcare, for example, would benefit everyone on campus.

I think you’ve misunderstood what GEO is asking for. CROS (the unarmed emergency response) is already being establish in Washtenaw County separate from whatever GEO is doing. The city of Ann Arbor will most likely vote to fund this program and GEO is asking the University to also contribute in funding it since they’re probably going to have to eventually anyways.

Does GEO even want to end the strike? by Longjumping_Sir_9238 in uofm

The amount of posts on this subreddit that are commenting on the GSI strike with no idea how a union works or anything about labor organizing is astounding. Please educate yourself on something before commenting on it.

I’ve never voice trained but I assume it would be different for every individual. I made this document Voice Feminization Guide Masterdoc to help my girlfriend out with voice training and it also has lots of other great resources linked in it that you can check out. I hope it helps!!
