Reading A Birth Story by Dr. Dana-Ain Davis gave me a real perspective on the experience of Black women in medical settings such as Hospitals. It made me really sad to go through Leconté J Dill’s birthing story through her eyes and through the animations. I felt privileged in reading about her experience because although I know the battle with health insurance in this country, I don’t imagine being treated in this manner if and when I’ve needed medical attention. Then in reading the 12 Reasons it Should be Illegal for Doctors Not to Treat Trans People, my entire mentality and feelings on the matter were completely exacerbated. I felt so guilty and yet again in disbelief that anyone else has to deal with another civil right stripped away from them due to ridiculous rules set in place to separate us. As someone who wants to go into the medical field, I vowed right then and there that when I do reach my educational goals, I want to make sure to remain someone who will do no harm and help others on my part at all costs. The fact that this new rule has even been proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services is preposterous and shows no sign of progression in our society. How can we just ignore the lives of human beings?! Watching Period: End of Sentence made me proud of the Indian women who are standing up for themselves and actively educating others to the powerful knowledge they’re gaining in opening up about womanhood.
