I’m beyond excited to announce the launch of '''GYNOPEDIA''' -- an online resource for sexual, reproductive, and women’s | I’m beyond excited to announce the launch of '''GYNOPEDIA''' -- an online resource for sexual, reproductive, and women’s health care. It’s a wiki, so everyone is invited to contribute, and please, PLEASE do. The basic idea is that you search for a city -- for example, [[New York City]] -- and Gynopedia provides practical, stigma-free information based on that location. So, let’s say you want to buy tampons in Seoul, or find an LGBTQ-friendly gynecologist in Bangkok, or you need the morning after pill in Lima. Well, Gynopedia is the resource for you. | ||
Why did I create Gynopedia? Honestly, because I couldn’t find anything like it. When I began preparing for an extended backpacking trip, I realized that I had no idea how I would get birth control in the countries that I planned to visit. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. How about annual pap smears? What if I got pregnant? Then I remembered that, at different points in my life, I have struggled to get a comprehensive STI test, or a low-cost gynecologist, along with many other services. Time and again, I’ve needed advice from local people and lacked an online resource. This made me enraged yet wildly inspired. And so Gynopedia was born. | Why did I create Gynopedia?

Now, if you think this template sucks, or if you have suggested improvements, let me know! This is a baby-new project, and I’m counting on the insights of the People of the Internet. | Now, if you think this template sucks, or if you have suggested improvements, let me know!

Anyway, the big beautiful goal of Gynopedia is information -- and lots of it. I’m convinced that nearly everyone has something to share. In other words, please contribute! So, let us know which generic birth control pills didn't work for you. Let us know which gynecologist was especially awesome. Let us know how to ask for yeast infection medication in Hungarian or UTI treatment in Spanish. Let us know all the good stuff, please! | Anyway, the big beautiful goal of Gynopedia is information -- and lots of it. I’m convinced that nearly everyone has something to share.
