Chronically Fully Sick

CALL TO ACTION: Actively include women with disabilities in your events, talks, and focus this year and every year.

There is no inclusivity without . There is no diversity without .

Why? Disability is a human rights issue and a feminist issue. Read: https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/resources/women-with-disabilities-fact-sheet.html

Yes yes yesss thank you.. “Frankly, I don't know of a group of people who put more effort into their health than disabled and chronically ill people.
The never-ending effort involved to navigate a world which is not designed for you at a structural level, is a constant grind. Let alone the work of organising, getting to, attending, and paying for the numerous appointments — if you can get one in the first place or afford to go at all.”

"Their argument implicitly points the finger of blame at people with health issues or disabilities for not 'doing the work'."

LISTEN NOW!!! Australian authors Kylie Maslen, Fiona Murphy and Jacinta Parsons discuss their memoirs of living with invisible disabilities or chronic conditions and navigating the healthcare system. Kylie’s wry and incisive Show Me Where it Hurts: Living with Invisible Illness details life with chronic pain and mental illness, and was named a stand-out book of 2020 by Guardian Australia. Fiona’s The Shape of Sound chronicles how she overcame shame and secrecy to claim her Deaf identity, drawing praise from Helen Garner, who said, “I devoured this in a day, fascinated, enlightened, moved”. Jacinta’s Unseen trains a microscope on the unique challenges of living with an invisible condition and was dubbed “a generous, brave, moving and deeply insightful work that will change lives for the better” by Clare Bowditch. The three speak with writer, producer, podcaster and illustrator Chloe Sargeant, co-host of the podcast Chronically Fully Sick.

“Woo, an Australian slang term for scientifically dubious, new age-adjacent beliefs or practices, was a common theme. “I’ll be taking my business elsewhere if you continue to peddle this dangerous woo,” one commenter agreed, while a third described Paltrow as “an unqualified peddler of woo”.

“I’m both overjoyed for young chronically ill people today who will be able to find solace, affirmation and community through this, and at the same time I am heartbroken for my younger self that needed that representation so badly, and instead had to muddle her way through, lost, confused, alone, and eventually convinced it was all in her head by doctors who didn’t have any duty of care.”

The feeling of being able to relate your experience, to see a life or body similar to your own on a screen or in the pages of a book was fairly unheard of. For people who are chronically ill, there was next to no ‘relatable content’ until very, very recently.
