Wow! Jordan, you’re an amazing champion for women’s health. Just read two of your articles. Women’s pain and discomfort are often dismissed as being “too emotional”, stressed out, it’s that time of the month. Even by female doctors.

It’s encouraging to read that research (by men) into women’s health issues are changing old beliefs and ignorance. Hopefully this can allow doctors and women to refer to it when discussing treatment.

Abuse is a terrible crime against women. Many times it happens when they are a child or young adult. When you add surgical removal of their ovaries removed, this is like a double whammy. Abused because they’re the weaker sex. Ovaries removed, so can they call themselves #women anymore? On some level these women are being punished for being women and for speaking up about being abused.

Let’s give them respect, compassion and the appropriate treatment for their physical and emotional ailments.

PS. Have you written about ovarian cancer?
