Offensive Online Depictions of Ostomies Alert!

This topic is about a situation where a gossip website used an offensive comparison involving a "colostomy bag" in one of their stories. An ostomate, someone who has undergone ostomy surgery, found this language hurtful and stigmatizing. They reached out to the author of the article to express their objection and encouraged others in the ostomy community to do the same.

Here are some helpful insights and advice on how to handle such situations:

1. It might be best to ignore sensationalist celebrity-gossip sites. These platforms often aim to provoke reactions and thrive on causing outrage.

2. Instead of focusing on offensive remarks made by people seeking publicity, direct your attention and energy towards real-life concerns and self-care.
