It’s a surgery that’s often viewed as a tragedy. For many, it’s actually a wonderful choice. slate.trib.al/Z1SPyNs
"Uteruses are a part of women’s bodies that affect them; they are not simply for pregnancy. They should be studied as the core component of the body that the doctors reluctant to remove them claim they are." - @andreavbecker's stunning piece. slate.com/technology/202…
RT so that @lenadunham comes to my event this Friday in London. Her hysterectomy story comes up at all my talks and I talked to a dozen women who got hystos because of her story.
my friends are doing guerilla marketing for Get It Out on the apps
got to launch my first book at the strand :) what a dream!
My new book is out today :) With Coercion I wanted to dedicate a book to unpacking at the most granular level how abortion bans aren't just some abstract political debate but state gender-based violence w/ material consequences that can't be ignored. more about the project below:

"I want people to understand the labor that goes into having these organs," says Andréa Becker, author of Get It Out: On the Politics of Hysterectomy, "and that these organs produce social inequalities in invisible ways." thenation.com/article/societ…
this is tonight! on zoom!
One week from today (!!) I’ll be talking with the one and only @MoiraDonegan about my book. Join us!
It's funny how every evidence-based study finds this exact same result. Where is the flood of detransitioners we were promised years ago? Where are the whistleblowers of doctors "forcing" teens to transition? That's right, they don't exist.
what if I told you that hysterectomy is *already* the most common gynecological surgery worldwide? and that 1 in 5 people born with a uterus will have it removed?
I don't think this will catch on.

I learned so much from this one!!!
Thrilled to finally say my book is officially out!! I use 100 hysterectomy stories to explore the ways our culture and medical system devalues the uterus and the people who have them.
sooooooo excited to read this!!!!
