Unfortunately Netflix won’t do anything. Too many people are watching or partially watching this movie. It shows how normalized violence against women is in entertainment.

I actually cringed harder with “Simple Jack” than Kirk Lazarus.

I wouldn’t say “every” example being removed is a cheap gag premised on racist history. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia removed a blackface episode where the entire premise is “is it ever OK to do blackface?” The conclusion they come to is that no, there is NEVER an OK time to do blackface, it’s always racist (not…

Imagine had they used the ‘n-word,’ or displayed a Jewish prisoner in concentration camp clothing with a yellow star as ‘satire.’ It would be unacceptably shocking.

My bladder and uterus are legit tangled up, but no one understood wtf I was saying at the doctor back when i still had insurance. I only know because I have to pee 100% of the time and read about this happening rarely after pregnancy in a midwifery book. So msybe I’m wring but I don’t have insurance and it’s been four…

Had mine taken out a few years ago, and was also left with one ovary (my giant fibroid basically ate the other one). It’s amazing how freeing life can be without periods. Although I must admit I was appalled to find out how many women asked me afterwards, “So... do you still have to worry about getting pregnant?” or…

It makes you feel incredibly grateful that this has happened to you and you get to have two amazing babies

We also assume that pap smears and annual gyn exams catch more than they actually do. The pap is for cervical cancer, and the gyn exam does not typically reveal ovarian cancer. This is why OVCA is normally diagnosed in very late stages, if you’re lucky to find it at all before it kills you. I was fortunate enough to…

A chiropractor once told me that I have one extra lumbar and one extra cervical vertebra. Many women with UD also only have one kidney (I have both tho).

That’s so interesting! Hope you’re doing well now since your surgery. I can’t imagine how much trouble an extra uterus might have caused, since the one I have causes me so much grief. ;)

My cervixes were connected, like a 8, so it was hard to tell which one you were looking at. At least, until I had a kid because there's a difference in your cervix when you've carried a pregnancy. 

The last time we had a post like this, it turned out a lot of us Jezzies have didelhpus uterus. I was one, until I had the whole shebang removed in January. I don't even have two vaginas anymore. 

I had investigations and an ultrasound eleven years ago that found everything was normal. (I’ve been convinced for as long as I can remember that something was up, I qualified for a full check up because I’d had treatment that could affect my fertility). 3 further pelvic exams in the interviening time then a couple of…

For real: how did her Ob/Gyn not notice this and say “hmm, you know I think you’ve got a little extra equipment here.”?

Oh absolutely! It’s something that certainly happens with women, and with people of color, and any other oppressed class. Like, in my aforementioned thing about heartbeat skips, my cardiologist straight-up admitted to me that he had no idea if the drugs I take as a trans woman (hormones, etc) might cause some of the…

Discovery Health used to have a show that I nicknamed “My Uterus was Silent Hill” because of all the bizarre and gruesome pregnancy-related horror it featured - like doing a surgery on a fetus in fetu cuz it was being too parasitic.

I get what you’re saying, but I also feel like this is yet another manifestation of how shamefully negligent modern medicine can be toward women’s health issues specifically. Like, it seems far-fetched that this woman had two prior pregnancies and—presumably—many other gyno exams without anyone noticing she had a…

True, but as a semi-hypochondriac in her mid-30s, I can tell you this: We all just kind of assume that all of our inside goop is the right shape/size/tempo, and hope that it all ticks over with a minimum of fuss. Did you know that your heart can skip up to like one in 7 beats before doctors really think it’s an issue?…

And like another poster said, these same angry kids today don’t seem to understand that what they view as acceptable today may not be in ten years, and that they too can become the very same people they are angry at.  People like this deserve to be given the side-eye. 

Jenna doesn’t need to leave the platform. It’s good that she is taking time away from all the hateful feedback that she’s gotten, but she shouldn’t be pushed off YouTube for it. Jenna has consistently worked to make positive change, for herself and her channel. The videos she posts now are all about having fun without…
