Endometriosis V2

Love the hat, love the little scars. Like the autism plushie, can we have a special edition color? This would be so cool.

I agree completely! I was quite confused reading the description for some of the design choices, because while yes anemia can be caused by heavy bleeding, which is a symptom of endometriosis, anemia itself isn’t actually apart of the diagnosis and therefore the symptoms of anemia aren’t relevant.

I feel like one solid across the stomach scar is inaccurate, as laparoscopy is what's used to excise endometriosis in majority of cases unless it's stage 4 DIE.

I also feel like the cross on the Venus symbol to represent infertility is actually quite offensive, it implies that infertility makes you less of a woman, not to mention the fact that endo isn't truly a reproductive disease as it's been found growing all over the body, in the eyes, brain, tongue, heart, etc. and it acts more like an autoimmune disease than a reproductive one.

Not to mention the fact that not everyone with the disease is a woman, and the symbolism implying that infertility makes one less is, quite frankly, sexist. It would be better to just remove the Venus symbol altogether, as it is not just an insult, but a painful reminder for transgender men and cis women, although for very different reasons. The painful reminder for trans men is that we are viewed as females because of this disease, and the painful reminder for cis women is not only infertility, but also that infertility is unfortunately the main focus of the disease, which causes people to care more about whether or not you can have a baby, over the more important thing which would be your quality of life.

I think there should be the same scars like the last bunny had, I have 5 individual scars and feel like this one represents a c section and not me at all, nearly all endo scars are separate little incisions.

My endo does not present with mood regulation or temperature issues, and neither of those are diagnostic at all or relevant to me or anyone else I know personally. I think those can be removed entirely and wouldn’t be missed, maybe sell a hat as an accessory if others feel it’s needed, but I wouldn’t get this as is – it’s a painful, misunderstood disease.

I think it should really be muted colors, more belly scars, no hat, no paw colors and really focus on symbolism for pain and being ignored, I liked what others said about including something to show dissociating and the feelings of neglect from medical providers.

Maybe even dark red hands to symbolize heavy bleeding and the reality that many pass massive clots, maybe more like bleeding hearts instead of just broken ones. Instead of the light blue maybe a black or even dark green. This reads very happy and everyday I am reminded of this horrible disease.

Looks good- tummy should be a little more swollen- I always look like I’m 8 months pregnant. The issue of growing adhesions and bloating makes my stomach area huge!
