Protestors Who Were Tear Gassed Say They Got Their Period Multiple Times in a Month

Tear gas has unknown effects on the reproductive system, but some have linked it to miscarriages.

On May 31, a Black pregnant woman in Austin said she was shot by police in the abdomen with rubber bullets. That same day, the Colorado Doula Project shared a post on Instagram about other potential dangers to pregnant protesters. “Tear gas is an abortifacient,” the post read, explaining that the chemical has been linked to higher rates of miscarriage and stillbirth. Rodriguez’s post quickly made its way onto Twitter, where protesters like Stewart began sharing the reproductive health impacts that they had felt after exposure to tear gas. Some tweeted about breakthrough bleeding despite their use of IUDs; other trans people shared that despite taking testosterone, they were having periods as well.

Since the Black Lives Matter protests began, police have deployed tear gas in 100 American cities. Watchdog groups, activists, and public officials have raised concerns about the safety of tear gas, a compound banned for use in wartime by the Geneva Convention, especially as the United States grapples with the effects of a respiratory pandemic. Although research is limited, some have suggested that tear gas may also be linked to higher rates of miscarriage, and anecdotal evidence has suggested it may induce cause changes in menstruation, though there’s not enough research to definitively prove that. For many Black protesters on the frontlines of demonstrations, the use of chemical weapons is not only a reminder of the police violence they are protesting against, but of a long legacy of state violence in their reproductive lives.

Public health researchers have been studying the reproductive health impacts of tear gas since at least the 1980s. In 1987, Physicians for Human Rights raised concerns about the unknown impact of tear gas on fertility in South Korea and in 1988, a United Nations spokesperson said that Israeli use of tear gas, sold by the United States, had caused several Palestinian women to miscarry. Most recently, in 2012, Physicians for Human Rights documented cases of miscarriage that were potentially linked to tear gas exposure in Bahrain.

I recently had to explain to my 15 y/o son why he should wait as long as possible (I.e. give family time to get there) before calling EMS if he’s with my nephew and my neph has a panic attack. I had to thoroughly explain to my 15 y:o child that the EMS and police probably won’t se them as kids in duress, but as adult male men endangering other people.

A Selk’nam couple with their baby, on a ship en route to be exhibited in Europe as “wildmen”. The Selk’nam people are an indigenous tribe in the Patagonian region of Southern Argentina and Chile. Both appear to have slight damage on their ankles from cruel, probably iron, restraints.

The fear and confusion on their face is haunting. For people who had lived a simple hunting and gathering lifestyle, with little European interaction, the rest of their lives must’ve seemed like a surreal nightmare.

[black-creole-queen-deactivated2]

I really want to know who these people are/what happened to them

[black-creole-queen-deactivated2]

SO I DID A BIT OF DIGGING AND HOLY SHIT. THE SELK’HAM PEOPLE WERE WIPED OUT IN A MASS GENOCIDE.

LIKE… THEY ARE NO MORE. THE DESCENDENTS OF THIS COUPLE DO NOT EXIST.

AN ENTIRE LANGUAGE. AN ENTIRE CUISINE. AN ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE. WIPED AWAY.

YA’LL WANT SOME FUCKING WHITE HISTORY MONTH? HERE IS SOME GOD DAMN WHITE HISTORY FOR YOU TO PUT NEXT TO ALL THOSE SHINNY IMAGES OF THESE WHITE MEN WHO “DISCOVERED THE WORLD”.

HANG THIS IMAGE IN ALL THE DAMN CLASSROOMS. I’M DONE.

[punchholesinthesky]

In tierra del fuego theres a museum, they were alive until the early 20th century when they were hunted down, the landlords? ( terratenientes) Hired US hunters with experience in killing natives

and paid them for like ears and boobs i believe? Some were taken to europe to be civilized or gawked at.

Jose menendez and his wife sara braun are recognised as the authors of the genocide. There’s a lot of statues, houses, streets, they built most of punta arenas so their name remains.

However, in october 2019 the main statue in the town square was beheaded, the head left at the foot of the indio patagon with the legebd “ braun menendez asesinos”

Important to remember, the selk'nam werent the only one. Patagonia was full of small tribes, and they were all exterminated. Their culture, language, history, way of life, all gone.

Because european settlers wanted space to raise sheep and get rich.

hmmm. customer was asking me if id been to any protests lately. gave the general “how could i when im always at work” response. he keeps going asking about where protests are being held/how he’s having trouble locating them and “it’s been hundreds of years coming so im not suprised”. he buys a lotto ticket and opens his wallet, which surprise surprise also contained a police badge..

[firstgrave]

Seriously. Be suspicious of everyone you talk to. especially if you don’t know them. even if you used to talk to them but fell off for a few years. don’t give out any information that could put others at risk
