Now I know this might sound like gossip because it involves a celebrity but celebrities are people too. Angelina Jolie recently had surgery to have both her ovaries removed as she inherited a gene from her mum so far dating back to her grandma which causes cancer. I find this newsworthy as a lot of women are faced with the tough decision of ending this miraculous organ they have in their bodies or succumb to a terrible disease and even death. I will post a thread in 'personal' to start a conversation or let you women or men, share similar stories of surgery or sickness if you feel comfortable.

who cares. she should be allowed to whatever she likes with her body without being judged and shamed by literally everyone. it must be rough having to make your medical decisions while under a constant spotlight. I only wish the best for her and her family~

>>2 Are people actually shaming her for this, though? My impression is the reason is pretty straightforward and it's what's best for her. But, I assume I'm wrong and many people are upset over her personal medical decisions.

>>3 No, they aren't shaming her in the slightest.
If you had read the whole thing, you will find out that her family as a long line of cancer coming from her ovaries.
Everybody understands why she did this, and nobody's judging her for it.
Put simply, this is a story for the mere reason that she's a celebrity.

>>4 I read the whole thing. I was questioning >>2's implication of there being some sort of controversy over the decision.

>>1 At first I was going to get mad because I respect Angelina Jolie greatly, and she was my role model while growing up and I thought this was another sliver of gossip that didn't belong here. Then I realized the message you are trying to spread here and I'm very grateful for it.
