“For better and for worse, [people with EDS] have no idea what normal feels like. Most have no idea what it feels like to not be in pain. They have no idea what it feels like to have a restful night's sleep”. Dr Alan Pocinki talking to our Zebra Club members last week 🙏🏻.

If you missed my original article - it was about Gisele Pelicot’s case and the role medical misogyny played in what happened to her. It also discusses why disabled people are more likely to experience both medical trauma and sexual assault disabledginger.com/p/gisele-pelic…
