Richards also criticized opponents of the decision, calling their complaints transphobic.
“Many gynecologists are men – I don’t see any headlines about them,” Richards pressed.
“Some midwives are men – I don’t see any headlines about them either.”
“And how about the male paramedic who may deal with miscarriage or prolapse – there are no headlines about them either.”
“Am I wrong? No, I am not.”
“Diversity should be seen as a strength. Stereotyping is wrong, and by appointing me as the CEO of ESC, I will look at the issues Endo suffers endure with a different perspective than others.”
“Who can argue that is not a positive?” Richards added.
“ESC are an inclusive charity, meaning we welcome EVERYONE with endo and adeno. We do not mind if you are straight, gay, black, trans, non-binary or whatever.”
The controversy has affected Richards’ mental health and that of some volunteers.
Despite the backlash, Richards expressed a commitment to raising awareness of endometriosis and adenoyosis and addressing healthcare inequality.
“My mission will be to oversee the charity’s everyday running, raise awareness of #endometriosis and #adenoyosis and raise the profile of ESC,” Richards said.
“Feminism has many causes, far too many to put in one tweet – but for me, inequality in healthcare is a priority and I will do my best to help overcome this injustice,” Richards added.
