I stand with the Women’s March because I see the weight and inequalities placed on women’s shoulders time and time again. We are tied up in preconceived identities and berated when we want to take charge of our bodies and identities, whether in fighting sexual assault, not looking a certain way, equal pay for equal work, or wanting control of our own family planning. I stand with the March home alone, rendered unable to physically be a part since I have late stage Lyme disease and confections. I have a disease that the establishment only sees what it wants to see, the acute stage, not the chronic stage. This disease is often brushed off as a psychological issue or that someone is simply hysterical, just like women have been medically addressed for ages. Together, I stand with women in the face of these injustices, both in gender and in illness, disability. I am part of the March, regardless if I am wrapped in blankets resigned to my house. I March for women.
