Don't you just love privatized healthcare? My doctor just left the practice that she was and went elsewhere in the same city. I called her old practice to ask for her new phone number so I could make an appointment. The man on the phone said: "We're not in the habit of giving out information for doctors who have left us."

Basically, if you aren't going to stay at our corporation, you can just "get sick and die."

I carry many traumas, religious conditioning, family abuse, and the weight of workplace injustice. For years, I feared my own queerness, trapped by a world that told me who to be.

It took a near fatal illness to break that shell. Facing death did not just change my health, it shifted my soul. It moved me from a world of self-concern to one of deep empathy. I went back to school, unlearned old patterns, and found my voice.

I have known the cruelty of a "wallet biopsy" and the sting of being judged by doctors who didn’t see my humanity. I have stood in line for expired food and felt the bone deep cold of poverty. I know that poverty is a trauma that kills, I have lived it.

But today, I am no longer afraid. I will shout in the face of the oppressors. I will continue to speak truth to power.
