No wonder people have such misinfomed and disrespectful attitudes towards people with ostomies, and worsened by ostomates who use the term, as well.Â
I find the use of the word "bag" to describe an ostomy pouch, demeaning and disrespectful.Â
To me, its my pouch, part of the appliance I wear, a result of life saving surgery from a debilitating and killer illness, and deserving of more respect.
