I learned a lot about Black women dying during childbirth in hospitals simply because the doctors and the nurses neglected them. It is often an act of racism and hatred, which is why many black women opt for at-home births, black female doctors, or midwives. Being a woman of color, it’s something I’ve had to give a lot of thought to because I wouldn’t want to experience the same experience as many women I’ve met before. When you are a mother, you want what’s best for your child, but you also want to know what’s best for you and stay safe. “When the anesthesiologist made LeConté feel invisible and disrespected, that exemplified neglect, dismissiveness, or disrespect.” (A Birth Story). “A Birth Story” really stood out to me because I’ve heard many stories of black women ultimately dying at childbirth because of the neglect and pain caused by these doctors. It’s genuinely upsetting. Reading “12 Reasons It Should Be Illegal for Doctors Not to Treat Trans People’’ by Diana Tourjée, there is another example of excessive medical abuse in the medical field. There is particular abuse regarding people of color and folks of the LGBTQ+ community. I liked watching “Period. End of Sentence.” because many women in India aren’t allowed to do anything. So the fact that these women were able to get together and make modernized machinery to help make sanitary products.
