    Hot take but this is one of many reasons why I’d never give birth in a hospital unless it was 100% medically necessary (and also one of a million reasons why I will never give birth at all.)

    Nurses and doctors are cops. Social workers are cops. Everyone fancies themself a fucking cop.

    My sister gave birth to her first child at a hospital and the experience was so bad, she needed years of therapy and vowed she’d never give birth in a hospital again. Her second and third kids were delivered at home with a certified nurse midwife.

    And my sister is not anti-medicine or anti-vaxx. She takes pharmaceuticals. She and her kids are fully vaccinated.

    The way birthing people are treated in this country is oppressive and carceral.

    Whenever I see the occasional lib that takes the attitude “sure USA is a global menace, but somebody has to be on top and I’d rather it be our nation so we benefit,” I invoke stuff like this. This empire is dog-shit even for most of its core subjects.

    while in the hospital in texas: they had me see an addiction specialist because i was “using” marijuana and then the doctor in california lol’ed and threw it away.

    the cherry on top is that they sent me a bill for it and it’s not getting paid.

    my version was ultra mild and i can’t imagine what it’s like for the people who are stuck in these situations
