As humans, we are multicellular beings, that also means our bodies have specialized systems that provide different resources, jobs, and protection for the body. When we first look at the body systems it can look somewhat overwhelming, but we have to remember that everything is part of the whole system. Working in tandem, our body systems are able to keep us going. Many people have chronic illnesses or disabilities that can impact their body systems functioning ability, which can cause people to need to take medications, have assistive devices, and can require medical procedures to internally fix any complications. While we don't need to worry about things happening to us directly, it's important we educate ourselves on the ways our body function so we can look out for ourselves and loved ones, while also being able to provide social comfortability around topics, some people still need to destigmatize in their lives, so all people to feel accepted without judgement. 

Learning about the body systems in their entirety has long been stigmatized because of the lack of professional ability to discuss certain topics without having patriarchal/colonial topics/conversations pieces, coming up. It's important that we understand that we all have bodies, and while we all have our differences, many of us face similar issues. Unfortunately, the greater community has made certain topics uncomfortable to talk about with medical professionals, leaving a grave whole of medical issues that have never been discussed. As medicine has continued to evolve, it has continued to leave out female bodies, black bodies, and other demographics they'd rather ignore. 

Medical system (corporation side) has focused on profit rather than treatments for the past 20 years, which has left many people in a lull of being able to discuss these 'taboo' stimagtized issues. Of course we have continued to see a loss in medical access with the recent cut of medicaid and higher insurance premiums. We have to be able to come together as a community, without enabling abuse and manipulation, and discuss these medical problems that we face so medicine facilities and doctors are able to do more research and find the causes of our long-term issues. 

Our parents and grandparents were very scared to discuss their medical history and conditions, due to worry that the government or jobs may use that information as a reason to discriminate against them. We want to acknowlegde that this is still an issue, and can always resurface as an even bigger issue. However, we are hoping that this information sets people up to communicate effectively with their doctors, while also maintainging the knowledge that they can look into their issues on their own. Discussing medical issues publically when you feel confident and able, is something that can help many people. Whether you are just discussing it with friends or posting about it publically, you are calling attention to medical information you did not have prior, which guarantees there are others like you out there. Our government and billionaire overlords don't want us having access to medical information of any kind, especially easy to comprehend and example experiences that people can quickly access for helpful information on how to get the same help from their doctors, or assistive devices, etc.
