Endometriosis is real. Dismissing it as “made up” isn’t just incorrect—it’s harmful. These are the faces of people living with endometriosis as a reality, each and every day.
When a public figure with a platform spreads misinformation, it has real consequences. It fuels stigma, invalidates the experiences of those living with this debilitating disease, and undermines the tireless efforts of advocates, researchers, and the endometriosis community who have fought to have this condition taken seriously.
Endometriosis can cause excruciating pain, infertility, multiple surgeries, and significant impacts on both mental and physical health. It takes an average of 6-8 years to receive a diagnosis—partly because of the very stigma that comments like this reinforce.
We call for a public apology and a commitment to education on the reality of endometriosis. Words matter. Misinformation has consequences. It’s time for accountability and respect.
To our community: We see you. We hear you. We stand with you.
And we are a little shocked how, in 2025, we are actually needing to call out something as disrespectful as this. Do better
