** Listen to Women—Birth Control's Side Effects Are Real
------------------------------------------------------------
Natalie Dodson
Newsweek
For over 60 years, hormonal birth control has been sold as a quick fix for acne, reproductive health conditions, pregnancy prevention, or simply the inconvenience of periods. Yet women are beginning to recognize the unsoundness of medical professionals' habit of prescribing hormonal birth control to address seemingly everything related to their health.
Due in large part to social media, young women in particular are speaking out about their negative experiences taking these drugs. A recent piece ([link removed]) in the Washington Post accused these women of spreading "misinformation" and "misleading...a vulnerable demographic." It even went so far as to disregard one woman's lived negative experience with hormonal birth control simply because she "is not a licensed medical specialist." In contrast, the authors prominently feature a male OB/GYN and reproductive rights advocate's favorable opinion on birth control. Throughout his comments, he generally dismisses the experiences of women who've decided to discontinue its use. It seems women's voices matter until they begin to question the mainstream narrative on reproductive health care.
