Is medical misogyny really a mystery? Why do we know more about some bodies than others? How do sex and gender influence our experiences in Australia\u2019s health system?<\/p>\n
SBS News journalist Catriona Stirrat explores medical misogyny and discrimination in the Australian health system in the new SBS News podcast, \u2018Hysterical\u2019. The series provides a much-needed health check on nuances of birth trauma, barriers on sexual and reproductive health, and patterns of delayed diagnoses. It delves into the medical challenges that women, trans and gender diverse people face every day, which may not be much of a mystery at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the themes and experiences in this series will resonate with a lot of people. While we\u2019re privileged in Australia with our health system, it\u2019s clear there are certain communities that continue to feel dismissed or even discriminated against, and the current efforts to address this are offering hope in this space,\u201d said Stirrat.<\/p>\n
\u201cHearing a wide range of stories from women, trans and gender diverse people \u2013 whether it\u2019s the dismissal of pain, experiences of birth trauma, or bias around whose bodies we study \u2013 emphasises the need for conversations about fairer health outcomes for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
