Happy #internationalwomensday

Trans women are women.

But you don't have to agree with me on that to know that demonizing people for a harmless characteristic, telling the public they are an "enemy within," and passing highly targeted legislation intended to deny them access to public life is immoral, undemocratic, and dangerous to us all.


Recht/e + Haben = Sein

Recht + Fertig ≠ Rechtfertigung

Rechte Haben Fertig = 🌹🌹🌹

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing one of my symptomatology embroideries, paresthesia (face) (2016). Paresthesias are tingling sensations. Mine are caused by #MECFS, a disease affecting mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.


"I used to be ladylike and deferential but found it didn’t pay."
— Dr. Margaret Chung

A child of immigrants to the US—born during the Chinese Exclusion Act—Dr. Chung is the first known Chinese American medical doctor, who earned her degree in 1916.

Gender equality does not ‘just happen.’

Women’s rights do not advance on their own. They are won through persistence and can easily be lost without vigilance.

We must lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all – not just for International Women’s Day, but every single day.

Fairly large turnout yesterday in France, in solidarity with the #standUpForScience movement.
Hope to see even more today for #InternationalWomensDay

However, for those here or elsewhere that might just be thinking "it's terrible what's happening in the US", beware of what's happening in your own country!
(I imagine I don't have to tell people in Argentina)

Just heard the first whispers this year of "why should there be a women's day when there's no men's day?"

If you hear anyone saying this, the answer is there IS an international men's day on 19th November:

internationalmensday.com

More info about it at en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern… and it has been going since 1999.

If people are genuinely interested in serious issues facing men such as suicide, homelessness, testicular cancer etc then IMD is the day specifically for it. It exists.

There is also an INBD too: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern…
