Chat is this sexist? We had an accreditation earlier this year and the lady said it was sexist to have this up on our X-ray machines/room

No this is actually quite the opposite of being sexist

Fuck no this is information that people with uteruses NEED to know

In this instance, no. This is crucial information for women that have uteruses, especially if they are actively pregnant. While we do see a lot of sex-based guidelines in the medical industry—this one is important and should be present.

i see her point. it's the same as i feel about not being able to access acne medications that men can just get a prescription for and get the next day. i have to go through ten different barriers bc of some unfounded assumption that women are dumb cattle who have no control over being bred. i'm talking about ipledge specifically. i totally think that's misogynistic.

in this case, i don't think it's as bad as ipledge at all. in fact, as long as it doesn't delay or prevent equal care, it doesn't bother me as much even if the messaging is an annoying implication

I totally get your point but I also think we have to acknowledge that there are biological differences that affect how safe the medication is. Like isotretinion babies are FUCKED UP. And I think the case being talked about in the OP post is completely different because it isn’t placing an additional burden on people with uteruses, it’s just informing them.

Literally. She told us to take it down but we actually haven’t bc we all feel like it’s important info!

yeah that's what i said. in this case, there's no burden so it doesn't bother me besides the messaging being annoying

messages being annoying doesn't make them unnecessary.
