"Harris and other advocates recognize that menopause is having a moment, and they want to bring it to women and LGBTQ+ people behind bars." https://19thnews.org/2026/09/menopause-women-prison-kwaneta-harris/ via @19thnews@flipboard.com #PublicHealth #menopause #WomensHealth #incarceration #prisons

"You’re not seen as middle aged, you’re seen as old, whereas your comparable male counterpart is seen as in his prime... "Whenever you’re perceived to be middle aged, you’re perceived to have family issues, menopause-related issues, or you’re just difficult to manage.... "As they do grow older and more mature in their careers, [women] lose some of the fear of speaking their mind. And certain men don’t like that." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/age-discrimination-women-goog_l_6a6ba2e0e4b01948ae9a97fd #GenderDiscrimination #WomenOver40 #menopause #misogyny

"Santoro and other physicians say that before spending lots of money on products that make big promises, it’s important for women to talk to their doctors about what has actually been proven to help — and what could be harmful. 'It really pays to be very, very, very skeptical,' Santoro said." https://apnews.com/article/menopause-perimenopause-products-marketing-edd33e91895f0bbd1498d9697142a9cb #healthcare #menopause #perimenopause #estrogen #hormones #WomensHealth #marketing #supplements

Across a woman’s life there are three major physiological transitions: puberty, pregnancy/childbirth, and menopause. Medicine tends to treat them as separate stories. Lived experience often doesn’t. This essay explores a single regulatory pattern that reappears across these stages — sometimes as overwhelm, sometimes as crisis, sometimes much later as muscle cramps or autonomic symptoms — not as pathology, but as boundary dynamics under changing conditions. It’s about recognition, not diagnosis. About regulation, not “coping better”. And about why many women sense continuity where systems see fragments. If this resonates — for you, your daughters, or your patients — you’re not imagining the pattern. https://open.substack.com/pub/hybridmind42/p/boundary-transitions-in-female-physiology?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=75c2ac #WomensHealth #Menopause #Perimenopause #Puberty #Pregnancy #BoundaryDynamics #RegulationNotPathology #ListenToWomen #HealthLiteracy
