To introduce dehumanization in medicine and science, I decided to use this fun, light-hearted* tail of "crazy" (cis?**) women and the (cis?) men who sought to figure out the source of the crazy.

On this episode, we go through:

  • The study of female hysteria in the late 19th century in Paris, France and Vienna, Austria
  • Origins of the study of trauma in western medicine
  • An introduction into how societal biases and dehumanization impact science and medicine

*HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

**using question mark cause, let's face it, historical accounts don't really tell us what people felt their internal gender really was, but that doesn't mean some of them might have been elsewhere on the gender spectrum and/or trans.
