I wrote about the Trump administration’s false claims about Tylenol, and the moral—not scientific—burdens they place on pregnant women’s bodies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

📢 September Notice! Have you visited the @ccfamilies.bsky.social blog hosted by @thesocietypages.bsky.social this month? Make sure to check it out! First up: 3Q with Andréa Becker Get it Out: On The Politics of Hysterectomy 🔗 thesocietypages.org/ccf/2025/09/... @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social

Recruiting for a new study on men’s sexual health experiences! Please share :)

The Trump administration told The New York Times that IUDs, hormonal implants, and the Pill are actually abortions. That’s objectively false. But it’s telling – they want to ban birth control.

Having a president say the feminine words first means so much to me ¡Viva México!

Just cried watching the first woman president give el grito de independencia in Mexico AMA

We take a break from your regularly scheduled doom scrolling to let you know that Labubus are pro abortion.

Paper acceptance day!! Our paper on trans experiences with telehealth abortion will finally be out in the world!

This instagram influencer is pushing “camel toe concealers” on instagram. It’s unbreathable silicone you insert into your underwear while swimming and exercising to “avoid embarrassment.” I’m getting a yeast infection just from looking at the product photos. Heinous!!

When I’m watching something and someone mentions hysterectomy

The president is pro-domestic violence

did you know that there’s a labubu in london’s lesbian bar

come hang and chat about uteruses next Wednesday in LA!

Talking about my book with @leximcmenamin.com this Friday in Philly if you're able to come!!! registration link below

Thrilled to see Andréa Becker's and her new book "Get It Out" featured in Mother Jones! It's a wake-up call on women's healthcare biases. By 65, 1 in 5 US women have a hysterectomy, yet gyn research gets only 2% of NIH funding.

loved this interview. tons of extremely perceptive stuff in here

“The National Institutes of Health was given a list of words that they can use to slash funding or to reject a research proposal. One of those words is women. So we can see [the lack of research] is going to get much worse.”

GET IT OUT in Mother Jones today :) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

showed my book some london sights

1 in 5 people born with a uterus will have it removed—but not everyone is sad about it. For some, it’s the best choice they’ve ever made. slate.com/technology/2...

talked about my book at london’s vagina museum :)

. @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social‬, author of Get It Out: On the Politics of Hysterectomy will be in conversation with Helen King from 7:30pm on 25th July at The Vagina Museum @nyupress.bsky.social

And they were womb mates... this Friday, join Andréa Becker and Helen King for a lively discussion on the history of the uterus and its uncertain future. How has the uterus been subjected to gatekeeping over time? www.outsavvy.com/event/27287/...

had the best book launch week :)

Excited to see @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social discuss her new book! Fearing that “Get It Out: on the Politics of Hysterectomy” will be very timely

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

Women's reproductive rights have long been under attack. But as Andrea Becker explores in "Get It Out: On the Politics of Hysterectomy," they are attacked along racial and gendered lines. Out today, read more about the interlocking systems of inequality in reproductive health. buff.ly/N0h2nrH

Recently featured in The Nation, @andreabeckerphd.bsky.social discusses her new book "Get It Out" and its exploration of the hysterectomy through race-, age-, and gender-based lenses, as well as its enmity with fascism. Read it at @thenation.com below: buff.ly/2oMQGxu

GET IT OUT in The Nation lets goooooo www.thenation.com/article/soci...

officially launched my book tonight <3

We have over 100 studies that prove that abortion pills, including mifepristone, are extremely safe. We can’t stand by as anti-abortion groups continue to undermine established science.

Nightmare scenario #1: no one comes to my book launch Nightmare scenario #2: a lot of people come to my book launch

my obgyn is coming to my book launch can you believe !!

Our new study found that people in states with bans are more than twice as likely to have abortions later in pregnancy. “Banning abortion doesn’t eliminate the need, it just forces people to travel farther and wait longer,” explains ANSIRH researcher Diana Greene Foster.

Really excited to talk GET IT OUT, and the past and future of the hysterectomy.
