Why do we know more about some bodies than others, and how do sex and gender shape our experiences navigating Australias health system? Hysterical is a new podcast series by SBS News, exploring medical misogyny and discrimination in our health system. We explore why women, trans and gender diverse people are more likely to be dismissed for their experiences of pain, as well as barriers around birth trauma, sexual and reproductive health and delayed diagnoses. Follow us on this investigation into Australias health system, as we try to answer these questions and more.

Hysterical: Fatima found a 'hidden community' of grieving parents after not getting culturally safe support
Friday, 8 November, 2024
Fatima El-Assaad lost her daughter Aya in 2021 after she was born still at 27 weeks, but felt like she wasn't given the appropriate support to navigate her grief. It wasn't until Fatima started speaking to other Muslim parents, that she began to recognise a gap in culturally safe bereavement support. In fact, Fatima's advocacy group The Still Nest, contributed one of thousands of submissions to a world-first New South Wales birth trauma inquiry earlier this year - in which the government pledged support for all 43 recommendations. I'm your host Catriona Stirrat and in this episode of 'Hysterical' Fatima shares what she believes needs to change when it comes to healthy conversations around pregnancy loss.
