Gray Wing's got me thinking for the longest time: how are pronouns, specifically neopronouns, translated and spoken in Clanmew? Do Clan cats, when invoking/talking about xem, use xeir pronouns correctly or default to he/him or something more "normal"?

On a more general matter, how common is it for modern Clan cats to use neopronouns? Do you think it's something they picked up from a kittypet in Chelford and they were like "whaaaat lmao that's kinda neat" lol bc I kinda like that idea. Sorry I'm rambling I'm just really really happy abt the neopronoun rep :'3

Oh Clanmew doesn't have gendered pronouns at all! There are eight pronouns, entirely based on threat level. There aren't any neopronouns in Clanmew because the use of these pronouns is constantly reaffirming the relationship between two cats, or signalling some sort of meaningful shift based on context.

Format: THEY/YOU/INCLUSIVE WE/EXCLUSIVE WE

Wi/Wees/Weep/Wik (Babies, prey, things that pose absolutely no threat to you)

Nya/Nyams/Nyap/Nyamsk (Family; Things you do not harm by choice.)

Pyrr/Pyrrs/Pyrrp/Pyrrsk (Honorably less dangerous; a Cleric, an exhausted warrior, helpful objects)

Urr/Urrs/Urrp/Urrsk (Equal footing of a Clanmate, things on your level. Briarlight refers to her mobility device with this pronoun as an extension of herself. ONLY USED FOR THE SAME CLAN.)

Ar/Ars/Arp/Arsk (Cat who is above you in the same Clan; person who outranks you significantly. Your mentor while you're training, the deputy, your own leader. Has a sarcastic air of "your highness" when used on those of similar rank.)

Rarr/Rarrs/Rarrp/Rarrsk (Honorable outsider; Clan cats of other Clans. Used to correct overfriendliness, friends of other Clans will sometimes find excuses to use other pronouns, though it can be frowned upon. Used for mildly dangerous prey like some ducks and gray squirrels. NEVER used on Clanmates without insult.)

Mwrr/Mwrrs/Mwrrp/Mwrrsk (Rogues, very dangerous animals. Actively aggressive and acts without honor; a MASSIVE insult used on any Clan cat.)

Ssar/Ssars/Ssarp/Ssarsk (NATURAL DISASTERS AND STARCLAN. Unpredictable, dangerous, unstoppable. For the leaders of other Clans or used as a very high compliment to another Clan's deputy or high-ranking warrior, but if overused could be seen as cowardly.)

So to use a neopronoun in Clanmew would be seen as very 'evasive' at best and rude at worst. You'd be bypassing a big part of their language and culture by not making your relationship and feelings towards that person clear to your conversation partner. It's very different from English where pronouns are just about gender!

"pi woomoerpbum Hrra'aborrl nyanomna" Heathertail: Breezepelt my beloved is eating a tunnelbun.

"pi woomoerpbum Hrra'aborrl rarrnomna" Heathertail: THAT BASTARD BREEZEPELT IS EATING A TUNNELBUN

There are three accepted genders in Clan Culture, Molly, Tom, and Gib. Gibs I refer to with xe/canon pronouns; canon just when it's less confusing. Blackstar for example is actually a gib in BB, so he's He/They/Xey.

(Queer cats still exist though, Dustpelt is an example of a GNC cat, Twigbranch is agender, Finleap is multigender, but Clan cats have a trinary gender system)

When the character has no canon gender though it's instant Gib and they're They/xe. Billowcloud is an example of that.

Gray Wing gets Xe pretty exclusively in my writing though for a few reasons, 1. Xe is the "archetype" of the roles associated with being a Gib and I want to emphasize this as the Patron of Wisdom, 2. The singular nonbinary pronoun is super super helpful with the fact Gray Wing has a ton of "talking to a group/on behalf of a group" scenes, it helps distinguish Xem from Them.

Eclipse, Equinox, and SO. MANY. SHIFTS.

     Strap yourself in, this week brings a slew of shifts, breakthroughs, and accelerated transformations. That’s because Eclipse season is here, and it’s not playing around. Yep, this week’s lineup is packed with the Pisces eclipse, the Autumn Equinox, and a Venus shift. In between all of that, you can expect your mindset to sober up—which, incidentally, preps you for an “unexpected” download, a dash of dreamy chaos, a temporary bout of squirrel-brain curiosity, and maybe some tension around creativity, money, and relating. 

ICYMI: 🚀 My debut novel, Jupiter Returns, is now available for pre-order! When you pre-order before Sept. 30, you’ll also be entered into an exclusive giveaway for some stellar prizes, including a 60-minute Chart Reading AND a year’s subscription to The Cosmic Almanac. Pre-order YOUR copy to enter the giveaway today!!

     Fresh starts? Check. Dramatic shifts? Double check. You’re stepping into a wild, anything-can-happen atmosphere where fresh starts are inevitable and dramatic shifts are, well, guaranteed. Feeling overwhelmed? It’s cool—everyone is. (I’m especially overwhelmed!) The trick to surviving the chaos is knowing your limits. Can you indulge your daydreams and tackle your to-do list? Could your daily grind benefit from a little sprinkle of magic? (Um, yes.) Anyway, that’s the gist of this week. Here’s the actual Astrology:

September 17th: The lunar eclipse in 25° Pisces

September 18th: Mercury in Virgo opposes Saturn Rx in Pisces, 15°

September 19th: The Sun in Virgo trines Uranus Rx, 27°

September 20th: The Sun in Virgo opposes Neptune Rx in Pisces, 28°

September 21st: Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini, 20°

September 21st: The Sun in Virgo trines Pluto Rx in Capricorn, 29°

September 22nd: The Sun enters Libra 

September 22nd: Venus in Libra squares Pluto Rx in Capricorn, 29°

September 22nd: Venus enters Scorpio 

🌒 September 17th: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces @ 7:34 pm PT

     Kicking off the week with some big Pisces energy, the lunar eclipse signals the start of a fresh, dream-chasing chapter. Think of it like cosmic permission to quit your job and start a Tarot-reading business on Etsy—kidding! (Maybe.) The eclipse asks: What dream have you been avoiding because it seems too unrealistic? In the words of Marty McFly, “That’s heavy, Doc.” Indeed it is heavy, but we’d expect no less from a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces, would we? 

     Neptune Rx merges with this lunar eclipse, which could cause some confusion, but also some serious inspiration, healing, and compassion. Uranus Retrograde brings support—you know, as much support as the rabble rouser planet of balking the system and disrupting anything that stagnates, can give (which is to say: not that supportive). Pluto Rx in Capricorn brings catharsis, as you hopefully finagle with letting go of your feelings about a certain person, project, or passion. (Though, not in a bad way!) Jupiter in Gemini also squares this full moon lunar eclipse, which will most likely just exaggerate any feelings you have.

     Before you go sprinting toward that new chapter, check in with your system—are you running on fumes or fuel? (I’m running on both!)

📣 Sept. 18 – Mercury Opposes Saturn Rx 

     Mercury (your inner chatterbox) faces off against Saturn (the cosmic drill sergeant), and suddenly, your brain is flooded with thoughts like: “Am I doing enough?” or “Why do I suck at everything?” Don’t buy into the drama. Self-criticism is especially loud today, but you can shut it down. Make a list of five things you’ve accomplished this year, to remind your inner critic why it isn’t always right all the time. Saturn is trying to teach you a lesson in patience and resilience, so don’t be too hard on yourself—growth takes time…

👾 Sept. 19 – Sun Trines Uranus Rx 

     Here comes the cosmic weirdo! When the Sun forms a harmonious trine to Uranus, the planet of rebellion, it’s a signal to let your freak flag fly. You’ve got some truly offbeat, brilliant ideas bubbling up, so don’t hold back. Innovation is the name of the game today, and the world needs your weirdness. Seriously, don’t try to be “normal” (whatever that even means). Uranus is all about shaking things up, and this is your chance to surprise yourself—and everyone else—with your quirky genius…

The Importance of Professional Pest Control Services for a Healthy Home and Business

Pests are more than just a nuisance—they can pose serious health risks, cause property damage, and impact your peace of mind. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or business owner, maintaining a pest-free environment is crucial for health, safety, and comfort. That’s where professional pest control services come into play. These services go beyond DIY traps and sprays, offering comprehensive solutions designed to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future ones.

In this blog post, we'll explore why professional pest control is important, the types of services available, and how you can choose the right pest control provider for your needs.

Why Pest Control Matters

Many pests carry bacteria, allergens, and pathogens that can contaminate food, damage property, and affect indoor air quality. Rodents chew through wires and insulation, increasing fire risk. Cockroaches trigger asthma and allergies. Termites silently destroy the structural integrity of buildings. And let’s not forget bed bugs, which disrupt sleep and are notoriously difficult to eliminate.

Beyond the physical damage and health concerns, pests can also lead to financial consequences. Property repairs, food loss, and business shutdowns caused by infestations can be costly and time-consuming.

Common Pests That Require Control

Here are some of the most common pests that homeowners and businesses face:

Ants: Known for invading kitchens and pantries in search of food, ants can be difficult to eliminate due to their large colonies.

Cockroaches: These pests thrive in warm, damp environments and can spread bacteria as they move across surfaces.

Rodents: Mice and rats are not only destructive but also spread diseases like leptospirosis and hantavirus.

Bed Bugs: Infestations often spread rapidly in hotels, apartments, and homes, requiring professional treatment for complete eradication.

Termites: Often called "silent destroyers," termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage before being detected.

Spiders: While many are harmless, some spiders can deliver venomous bites that require medical attention.

Mosquitoes and Ticks: These outdoor pests are more than just an annoyance—they can carry diseases such as West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease.

Types of Pest Control Services

Professional pest control companies offer a wide range of services tailored to different needs and pest types. Some of the most common include:

1. General Pest Control

This service targets common household pests like ants, cockroaches, and spiders. It typically involves routine inspections and treatments around the home’s perimeter and interior.

2. Rodent Control

Specialized treatments focus on trapping, baiting, and sealing entry points to prevent rodent access. Rodent control is often a combination of exclusion and elimination strategies.

3. Termite Control

Termite treatments include liquid barrier systems, bait stations, and fumigation. Regular inspections are crucial to detect termite activity early.

4. Bed Bug Treatment

Because of their resilience, bed bugs require a comprehensive approach that may involve heat treatments, insecticides, and follow-up inspections.

5. Mosquito and Tick Control

Seasonal treatments for outdoor areas can greatly reduce mosquito and tick populations, making yards more enjoyable and reducing disease risk.

6. Wildlife Removal

This service humanely removes animals like raccoons, squirrels, and bats and secures entry points to prevent future intrusions.

7. Commercial Pest Control

Businesses—especially those in food service, hospitality, or healthcare—benefit from ongoing pest control to meet health regulations and protect their reputation.

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Pest Control Service

1. Accurate Identification

Not all pests are treated the same way. Professionals can accurately identify the type of infestation and apply the appropriate treatment method.

2. Customized Plans

Every property is different. Pest control experts tailor their services to fit your property’s layout, pest history, and specific concerns.

3. Safe and Effective Solutions

Licensed technicians use safe, regulated products and follow industry best practices to minimize risk to people, pets, and the environment.

4. Preventative Measures

In addition to eliminating pests, professionals implement preventative strategies like sealing entry points, reducing attractants, and providing routine treatments.

5. Long-Term Savings

While hiring a pest control service may seem like an added expense, it can save money in the long run by preventing costly repairs and ongoing infestations.

What to Expect During a Pest Control Visit

A professional pest control service typically follows these steps:

Inspection: The technician inspects your home or business to identify pests, entry points, and damage.

Treatment Plan: Based on the findings, a customized treatment plan is created.

Implementation: Treatments are applied, which may include spraying, baiting, dusting, or trapping.

Follow-Up: Depending on the pest, follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor results and apply additional treatments if needed.

Prevention Tips: You’ll receive recommendations on how to reduce future pest issues through sanitation and exclusion techniques.

How to Choose the Right Pest Control Provider

When selecting a pest control service, keep these tips in mind:

Check for Licensing and Insurance: Always choose a company that is licensed and insured for your protection.

Look for Experience: Providers with several years of experience are more likely to offer reliable and effective solutions.

Read Reviews and Testimonials: Online reviews can give insight into customer satisfaction and service quality.

Ask About Their Methods: Make sure their approach aligns with your values, especially if you prefer eco-friendly or pet-safe solutions.

Get a Written Estimate: A reputable company will offer transparent pricing and a written estimate before beginning work.

Final Thoughts

Pest control is not just about eliminating bugs and rodents—it's about creating a safe, healthy, and comfortable living or working space. While there are many DIY solutions on the market, professional pest control services offer the expertise, equipment, and experience needed to address infestations thoroughly and prevent them from coming back.

Whether you’re dealing with a one-time issue or seeking year-round protection, investing in professional pest control is a proactive step toward maintaining a clean and secure environment. Don’t wait until a minor pest problem becomes a major infestation—seek help from trained professionals who can protect your home or business from the ground up.

The Best Wildlife Solutions: Humane, Safe, and Effective Control 🦝🌿

Wildlife encounters are a part of life, but when animals invade your property, they can quickly go from being fascinating to frustrating. Whether it’s raccoons making a mess in your attic, squirrels raiding your garden, or bats roosting in your walls, wildlife intrusions can cause significant damage and pose serious health risks. That's where Wildlife Control Solutions comes in. We offer the best wildlife control solutions that are humane, safe, and effective, ensuring that both the animals and your property remain protected.

Why Wildlife Control Is Critical for Your Home or Business 🏠💡

It’s easy to overlook the potential damage wildlife can cause until it’s too late. Animals, from raccoons to squirrels, often seek food, shelter, and safety in urban areas and homes. Unfortunately, their presence is not without consequence. Many wildlife species are capable of damaging roofs, walls, insulation, and electrical wiring. They can also introduce harmful diseases and parasites into your living space.

For instance:

Raccoons can tear up insulation and chew on electrical wires, leading to fire hazards.

Squirrels can nest in your attic, chewing through beams and electrical systems, resulting in costly damage.

Bats often roost in walls and attics, leaving behind droppings that can spread diseases like histoplasmosis and rabies.

Birds can damage property and spread diseases through their droppings.

The best wildlife solutions combine not just the removal of the animals but also prevention measures to ensure that your home or business is protected in the future.

Comprehensive Wildlife Control Services 🦇🦝

At Wildlife Control Solutions, we offer a wide range of expert wildlife control services to meet the specific needs of your property. Our goal is to solve your wildlife issues in the most humane and efficient way possible, ensuring the safety of both the animals and your family or business.

1. Bat Removal & Exclusion 🦇

Bats play an essential role in controlling insect populations, but when they choose your attic or walls as a roosting site, they can become a serious problem. Not only can they be noisy, but their droppings (guano) can cause health risks, including the transmission of diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis. If left untreated, bats can also lead to property damage as they search for food and shelter.

Our bat removal services use safe, humane methods to relocate the animals, and our bat exclusion process ensures that all potential entry points are sealed off, preventing future infestations. Our team works to ensure that your property is protected, while still respecting the bats' ecological role.

2. Raccoon & Skunk Control 🦝🦨

Raccoons and skunks are notorious for causing problems around homes and businesses. Raccoons are excellent climbers and can easily access attics, chimneys, and roofs. They often destroy insulation, tear apart vents, and even chew through wires. Skunks, on the other hand, are known for their unpleasant odor, and they can be a danger to pets and children.

At Wildlife Control Solutions, we offer humane trapping and removal services for both raccoons and skunks. We also provide exclusion methods, ensuring that all entry points to your home or business are sealed to prevent a re-infestation. Our team also provides guidance on how to make your property less inviting to these troublesome animals.

3. Squirrel Control & Exclusion 🐿️

Squirrels are small, agile creatures, and while they may appear harmless, they can cause significant damage if they gain access to your attic. They chew on wires, insulation, and even wooden beams, which can lead to costly repairs. Squirrel nests in attics are a common cause of house fires, making squirrel control an important service for any property owner.

Our squirrel control services focus on humane trapping, removal, and exclusion techniques. We make sure that your home or business is properly sealed to prevent further squirrel intrusions. Additionally, we offer recommendations to reduce the likelihood of future wildlife problems.

4. Bird Control Services 🕊️🚫

Birds like pigeons and starlings can be more than just an eyesore—they can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. Bird droppings can erode building materials, clog gutters, and create slippery surfaces. Additionally, birds can carry diseases such as histoplasmosis, salmonella, and cryptococcosis.

Wildlife Control Solutions offers a variety of bird control methods designed to keep your property bird-free. From netting and spike systems to sound-based deterrents, we use humane, non-lethal approaches to keep birds away. Our solutions are custom-designed to suit the specific needs of your property, ensuring long-lasting results.

5. Animal Waste Cleanup & Damage Repair 🧹🔨

Once wildlife has invaded your home or business, they often leave behind waste—droppings, urine, and even nests. This can pose serious health risks and create unsanitary conditions. Animal waste cleanup and damage repair are critical steps in restoring your property to a safe, healthy state.

Our team specializes in removing animal waste, disinfecting contaminated areas, and repairing any damage caused by wildlife. Whether it’s sealing up holes or replacing insulation, we provide comprehensive damage repair services to ensure your home is safe and sanitary.

Why Choose Wildlife Control Solutions? 🤔

When it comes to wildlife control, you need a team you can trust. Here’s why Wildlife Control Solutions is the best choice for your wildlife problems:

¶ … Infectious Diseases: Human Monkeypox Monkeypox is an uncommon viral illness that takes place typically in middle and western Africa. It is known as monkeypox since it was first discovered in 1958 in lab monkeys. Blood examinations of animals in Africa later established that other kinds of animals most likely had monkeypox. Scientists also discovered the virus that leads to monkeypox in an African squirrel. These kinds of squirrels might be the ordinary congregation for the disease, but rats, mice, and rabbits can get monkeypox, as well. Monkeypox was found in people for the first time in 1970 (What You Should Know about Monkeypox, 2008). In early June 2003, monkeypox was reported in the midst of numerous people in the United States. The majority of these people got ill after coming into contact with pet prairie dogs that were ill with monkeypox. This is the primary instance that there has been an eruption of monkeypox in the United States. The illness occurs because of the Monkeypox virus. It belongs to a collection of diseases that comprises the smallpox virus (What You Should Know about Monkeypox, 2008). In humans, the indications and symptoms of monkeypox are comparable to those of smallpox, but more often than not they are less. An additional variation is that monkeypox makes the lymph nodes to swell up. About twelve days after being contaminated with the virus, a person will get a muscle aches, fever, headache and backache. Their lymph nodes will swell and they will feel drained. One to three days after the fever begins, a person will get a rash. This rash turns into elevated bumps packed with liquid and often begins on the face and spreads, but it can begin on other areas of the body as well. The bumps go throughout numerous stages before they get hard, scab over, and go away. The sickness typically sticks around for two to four weeks (What You Should Know about Monkeypox, 2008). Man is vulnerable to a variety of poxvirus infections, but only two of these, smallpox and human monkeypox, frequently produce an acute systemic infection with an extensive rash. Human monkeypox can be distinguished from smallpox only by the development of the virus or the presentation of a virus-specific serological test with convalescent serum (Chapter 29: Human Monkeypox and other Poxvirus Infections of Man, n.d). People can acquire monkeypox from a creature with monkeypox if they are bitten or if they handle the creature's blood, body liquids, or its rash. The illness also can go from person to person by way of big drops throughout long periods of in person contact or by touching body liquids of a sick person (What You Should Know about Monkeypox, 2008). There is no precise cure for monkeypox. In Africa, people who acquired the smallpox vaccine in the past had a lower danger of monkeypox. The CDC has put out guidelines setting down when the smallpox vaccine should be used in order to guard against monkeypox (What You Should Know about Monkeypox, 2008). Jointly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, the CDC is taking part in an assortment of behaviors to stop further spread of monkeypox and discover the source of the occurrence. They have deployed groups of medical officers, epidemiologists, and other professionals to aid with the examination, carried out widespread laboratory examination on examples from humans and animals believed to have been open to the elements to monkeypox, issued provisional U.S. case descriptions for human monkeypox and for animal monkeypox, issue temporary rules on infection control and disclosure management for patients in the health care and community surroundings, issued a direct restriction and exclusion on the importation, interstate carrying, sale, and discharge into the surroundings of particular rodents and prairie dogs (Questions and Answers about Monkeypox, 2008).

3. Pest Removal and Extermination

The pest control team implements the treatment plan, eliminating pests effectively while minimizing disruption to the property. For severe infestations, multiple treatments may be required.

4. Prevention Strategies

After eliminating pests, professionals focus on prevention by sealing entry points, recommending sanitation improvements, and setting up monitoring systems to detect future infestations early.

5. Follow-Up and Maintenance

Many pest control companies offer follow-up services to ensure pests do not return. Regular inspections and treatments help maintain a pest-free environment year-round.

Top 5 Pests That Threaten Your Solar Panels and How to Keep Them Out

Solar panels are a fantastic investment for homeowners seeking to reduce energy costs and harness renewable energy. However, while these systems are generally durable and low-maintenance, they can face threats from some uninvited pests. Squirrels, birds, and rodents are among the most common culprits, and their damage can lead to costly repairs or reduced efficiency. We’ll dive into the top five pests that threaten solar panels and provide effective strategies to keep them out.

1. Squirrels Under Solar Panels

Squirrels are renowned for making themselves at home under solar panels. These animals are very quick and can easily get to roofs. Once they get down there, they might chew on lines and insulation, which could cause electrical problems. Often, they build nests that block airflow and keep moisture inside, which damages the panels and roofing materials in the long run.

Exclusion Method: Installing a Squirrel Guard

Putting up a squirrel guard is one of the best ways to keep away squirrels under solar panels. Installing these barriers around the outside of your solar panels will make it physically impossible for squirrels to get to the area below. A squirrel guard not only keeps these tiny attackers out of your panels, but it also gives you peace of mind that your investment is safe.

2. Birds

Birds, particularly pigeons and gulls, can be problematic for solar panels. They often perch on solar arrays, leaving droppings that can corrode the surfaces and lower efficiency. Furthermore, birds may build nests, which can cause blockages and fire risks if flammable materials are used.

Exclusion Method: Bird Netting and Spikes

To keep birds in control, consider installing bird netting or spikes around your solar installations. Spikes keep birds from landing on your panels, while bird netting creates a barrier that keeps them out. For optimal protection, both products can be used together and are both effective.

3. Rodents

Rodents like rats and mice are increasingly drawn to solar panels as they provide shelter and warmth. They can chew through wires, posing a significant risk to the electrical systems and the overall effectiveness of your solar panels. Like squirrels, they may also create nests that can clog the system.

Exclusion Method: Traps and Bait Stations

Keeping rodents away from your solar panels may require a combination of traps and bait stations. Place traps near possible entry points and use treat stations to get rid of rodents in and around your home. Additionally, sealing any gaps or openings in your roof will help deter these pests from taking residence near your solar installation.

4. Insects

Insects such as bees, wasps, and spiders can also pose threats to solar panels. Bees and wasps may build nests under or near your solar setup, while spiders can create webs that obstruct the panels. Although they may not cause substantial damage directly, their presence can lead to long-term issues.

Exclusion Method: Regular Maintenance and Inspection

Combating insect threats often requires regular maintenance and inspection of your solar panels. Clean your panels periodically to remove wasp nests and spider webs, and keep the surrounding area free of waste where these insects might grow. If you find nests that are difficult to remove, consider calling a pest control professional to ensure safe removal.

5. Raccoons

Raccoons are becoming increasingly skilled at accessing rooftops where solar panels are installed. As a result of their quick reflexes and sharp claws, they can quickly remove panel covers or insulation to find things to use as nesting materials. They are particularly problematic because they can cause significant structural damage if they decide to make your solar installation their new home.

Exclusion Method: Roof Maintenance and Secure Lofts

To deter raccoons, it’s essential to maintain the area around your solar panels. Ensure that your roof is in good repair and that there are no loose shingles or gaps that can serve as entry points. Additionally, consider installing protective cages or barriers that can prevent these larger pests from accessing your solar panels.

By implementing the exclusion methods and installing the squirrel guard you can significantly reduce the risk of pest-related damage. Remember, regular inspections and maintenance are key to ensuring that your solar panels remain a reliable and effective source of energy for your home.

Fatphobia is NOT a "Western" or "American" issue - it is EVERYWHERE!

I am seeing a lot of posts about fatphobic doctors and how they refuse to support their fat patients properly, and how it almost kills the fat patients at times. Then I read a lot of extremely tone deaf comments like:

“American doctors are so cruel…” “Healthcare in the USA is terrible”

As if ONLY American doctors are guilty of this. Well I’m here to say that, No, actually, horrible doctors don’t have a specific country of origin nor do they only exist within certain geographical areas.

  I am from Kuwait. The Middle East. More precisely, the Arabian Gulf. That’s nowhere near USA, Canada, or any European country. Kuwait has very high overw****t and ob***ty rates. Don’t quote me on the exact percentages but we’re talking ~40% ob**s and ~75% overw****t. Odds are if you’re Kuwaiti you’re either fat yourself or your friends and family are.

  Diabetes and hypertension are at ridiculously high rates here too. Odds are if you’re Kuwaiti you either have one or both yourself, or your friends and family do.

  Doctors here are fatphobic AF. There are surrounded by fat people – and most of them are fat themselves. Yet they still prescribe weight loss and restrictive diets to “cure” acute and chronic illnesses.

  Boy do I have some FUCKED UP stories. Buckle up.

  My fat sister had a middle ear infection. Her doctor (who was also fat!) said it was because she was unhygienic because she was fat and not cleaning her ears properly. It lasted for SIX WEEKS. She was in unbearable pain. We begged her to see a different doctor. Spoiler alert: it was a viral infection caused by a virus, not some phantom fat infection. She received treatment and had the fluid removed.

  My fat teenage cousin was feeling dizzy, couldn’t focus, and was always tired. Doctors diagnosed him with Fat and said he should lose weight by going on a 1200 calorie diet and exercising (umm.. he was always tired how could he exercise?!). He went on a restrictive diet that the doctor prescribed—not a dietitian, mind you! –and fainted several times. The doctor told him he was being dramatic and attention seeking. Wow what excellent bedside manner, and what a great thing to tell a CHILD! (sarcasm) Turns out my cousin had low blood pressure (explains the dizziness) and genetically inherited low blood sugar (Explains why he couldn’t focus and was tired). The restrictive diet made it worse. You’d think that in a country with so many people with diabetes and high blood pressure, they’d be more aware of these things and test for them first. Fatphobia clouds their judgment.

  My friend’s fat mother had pain in her abdomen that just wouldn’t go away. Doctors said it was because of poor eating habits. She told them she hadn’t changed her eating habits so where would this pain come from? The doctors (she saw someone in internal medicine and a OBGYN) said that her “bad eating habits” were “catching up” on her. They ran zero tests. No imaging. No scanning. Just told her to stop eating so much, Fatty. She started having trouble breathing, and she had pain in her back as well. Doctors still insisted she was reaping what she sowed for being fat. No diagnosis other than “Fat consequences”, and no support other than “stop being so fat”. She was rushed to the hospital by ambulance after she collapsed in the supermarket. She had a tumor that was growing quickly and also pressing on her nerves. (She is fine now)

I should mention that our healthcare system is completely different to the US. Our healthcare is free (government-funded), so the comments about how the American healthcare system is broken and that's why fatphobia is rampant doesn't make any sense.. Our healthcare is FREE and we still have fatphobia here!

  Fatphobic doctors don’t have a nationality. They don’t have a race. They don’t have a gender. They don’t have a class. Fatphobia in medicine is everywhere, even in fat countries, even in fat doctors themselves. These stories could have happened anywhere in the world, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they already did happen in other places. Fatphobia isn’t a “Western” disease, or a “Western” mindset, and it most certainly isn’t exclusive to US Americans. Fatphobic doctors are not endemic to the USA. Fatphobia is everywhere in medicine.

Mod squirrel: oh God this is why weight first treatment is so bad. I'm glad that these people eventually got treatment they needed, I'm so sorry they had to suffer to get there.
