Gynopedia is a new project -- and we don't have many guidelines yet! But here's what we have so far:
1. No judgment & no shame. This is an open community and we let users decide what is the healthy and fitting for them. So, whether it's getting an abortion or having a baby, getting an STD test or buying STD medication, we do not judge our users. It's their bodies and their lives. Our only goal is to empower them to make the best choices.
2. Real Information. Please contribute -- but only if you know the information is true. Inaccurate or outdated information can make people feel discouraged and waste their time. Of course, some information will eventually get outdated. But, to the best of your abilities, try to make the information up-to-date.
3. No advertisement/promotion from private physicians. If you recommend a physician (for example, a gynecologist), because you had a positive experience, please contribute this information. But, if you work for that physician or are in any way affiliated with a physician, please refrain from adding info on that doctor. Physician recommendations are supposed to be based on personal experiences of actual patients.
