Medical gaslighting 

Just a sugar coated nice and fluffy way to say medical malpractice. Basically it’s a type of malpractice where a doctor will refuse to treat and encourage other doctors to refuse to treat a patient using the method of telling them that their symptoms aren’t real and they’re crazy.

Patient: “there’s been blood in my poop for the past week, I lost 15lbs in a month from vomiting and it’s so bad that I can’t keep myself from fainting of dehydration.”
Doctor: “well ya know, anxiety-“
Patient: “shut the fuck off with your medical gaslighting shit, actually no, I’m done playing nice, your medical malpractice and medical negligence shit.”
Doctor: “you hurt my feelings, be nicer to me.”
Patient: “shut up.”

Greenhouse gaslighting

The act of trying to convince people you are doing more to combat climate change than you actually are.

“Remember how Scott Morrison held up that lump of coal in Parliament that one time, and now he’s at a climate conference trying to convince us his government is doing more than its share for climate change?”

“Yeah, Scotty from Marketing’s greenhouse gaslighting us again.”

endo gaslighting 

When your endo tells you that absolutely none of your symptoms (that you never had before partial or full thyroidectomy), are related to thyroid function, and you are forced to suffer needlessly, all because they don’t want to or can’t, (due to the system being so fucked up), do ANY deep digging, let alone use an ounce of their medically trained brain, to figure out why you always feel like shit.

You then see every other specialist (because the system has our body chopped up into parts so that we go to lots of appointments and get on lots of meds and keep the profit wheel turning) but in the end, if you’re lucky, likely due to the help of fellow thyroid cancer survivors on forums, your unmedically trained brain figures out what’s actually going on in your body and you start to forge a path to healing. that path is often riddled with obstacles because your endo will tell you you don’t know what you’re talking about. you’re connecting the dots in a sensible way they can’t handle it because it threatens their fear of their penis being too small, I mean their ego, and you have to implore them to partner with you in your now FULLY self directed healing.
concurrently you try to find healthy outlets for the rage that has accumulated that does not involve eating or bingeing on the very same purposefully addicting foods that complicate your often invisible condition.

Droves of (mostly) women, including myself, have lost years of their life because of Endo gaslighting… how could it be that a major part of our body is removed and the often life robbing symptoms that came about after surgery are unrelated AND None of the two other dozen specialists (from orthos to rheumatologists) and all of the tests and imaging they have ordered reveal any cause of said symptoms?

Qualitative Gaslighting 

This is when a person tells you what qualities you have, personality traits, etc. It can also be applied when someone's talking to someone else. It's even more harmful if the thing that's being said is simply untrue, and the person doing it has no idea what the person likes or enjoys.

Person: "I wanted to go skiing with your brother, but I don't know if he enjoys it"

Qualitative Gaslighter: "He loves skiing, I'll go and tell him to go with you"

The brother feels as though he now needs to portray this personality trait. Qualitative Gaslighting

Minnesota gaslighting 

The act of convincing or attempting to convince someone that your personality and the current local temperature are both warmer than they actually are.

"My friends were Minnesota gaslighting me when they told me I wouldn't need a sweater but I later found out they just thought it was ugly and didn't want to be seen with me wearing it."
