Oh shit lookit that our unmet needs and resulting therapy group are being used in a journalistically exploitative way🤨

Seems like an academic study, not journalism. Given the lack of research I’m glad this exists.

Fair point. I still think it’s bad form to not let us read it.

It’s not an exploitative way? It’s helping to inform other scientists about the unmet need and helps motivate others to research more into the disease.

Yep I understand that, I guess 24 menstruating years of people dismissing my experience has made me react with suspicion. I still think consent and/or notification is always the way to go - even if they’re not legally bound to do so. I agreed with the original person who called me out, too. I left the comment bc if I’m learning chances are others could be, too.

I appreciate you taking a different perspective and acknowledging it! It’s not always easy to do!
