DISCUSSION 12

The way the movie “Period: End of Sentence” was filmed is beyond incredible. It shows the bottom of India’s reality. Girls who had to drop from college because they feel embarrassed when they have their period. The crazy thing is that they didn’t have a private place to change their clothes or pads to use during their menstruation cycle. One of the things I realized while watching the movie is that most men and women have no idea what menstruation is, but what is very surprising is that women keep getting pregnant without men’s knowledge. Isn’t that crazy?. Sexual education is a very essential material that needs to be taught in schools and homes. Not only people will be more informed about the subject, but they will be more aware and respectful of women and the pain they go through every month. The good thing I learned from the film is how these girls took their issues in their society and turned them into motivation and an escape from reality. They are with. no doubt, very ambitious souls and energy but I can say that they were just meant to be in the wrong place.

Racism is being delivered everywhere in the world in so many ways and black women are the ones suffering the most. Obstetric racism is one of the serious types of racism because it is delivered in the most human place on earth which is hospitals. Leconte and her experience were very sad to read because she sounds very heartbroken and emotionally down about how bad doctors and nurses were treating her. As the writer mentioned in the article”She wanted to break out of the hospital. She wanted to be a mother in her own home, not in the hospital where they poked and prodded her.”There are many dimensions of obstetric racism such as diagnostic lapses, disrespect, coercion, and ceremonies. I can tell how sad she felt just by reading the poem. I can read and see the disappointment, sadness, and illness in her words.

Many people especially transgender people experience low-quality life. They are human beings and they can go through pain, condition, and illness like every other human being.I don’t understand why doctors will lower their respect and start discriminating and treating them poorly just because of their sexual preferences. All the experiences I have read and all transgender people’s comments are reasonable and thoughtful. They deserve access to all health sources and departments. I loved Helena’s comment when she said:”Transgender people deserve the same rights as everyone else, and further protections when it comes to vulnerable situations for them. This abhorrent proposed rule threatens the lives of my friends, my student, and their families.”
