Fempower Health | A Women's Health Podcast Banned for Talking About THIS? | Saundra Pelletier on #SayVaginaMonth
Episode Overview
TikTok banned my anatomy quiz. The reason? I showed an anatomically correct clitoris model and asked people to guess what it was. No explicit words. No graphic content. Just science.
This is exactly why Saundra Pelletier, CEO of Evofem Biosciences, launched #SayVaginaMonth —a movement to fight censorship, challenge stigma, and normalize medically accurate conversations about women’s bodies.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- Why female anatomy gets censored while male terms don’t
- How stigma in language leads to silence in the exam room
- Why even doctors avoid sexual health—and how to change that
- Why naming body parts correctly is critical for safety, consent & care
- What you can do to join #SayVaginaMonth and push back against bans
Why This Matters
If we can’t say vagina or clitoris without fear of being banned, how can we expect healthcare, policy, or research to serve women properly? Words shape awareness. Awareness shapes care. Silence keeps us in the shadows.
