Medical discrimination against women can also be known as gendered racism, where women of color face distinct experiences of oppression and unfair treatment from healthcare providers. In the Journal Ethnicity & Health, one of their articles goes over racial disparities women of color face, and how women of color are more likely to feel more concerned about racial and gender discrimination when it comes to their reproductive health. "Black women and Latina women reported greater frequency of concern over stereotype-related gender racism  (F(3,131)=17.90,p<.001 study 1; F(3,339) = 22.23, p < .001 Study 2) and greater birth control-related mistrust (F(3,131) = 7.55, p < .001 Study 1; F(3,339) = 17.32, p < .001 Study 2) than White women did" (Lobel &Rosnthal,2018). These results show how women of color are more likely to go through these unfair differences when seeking medical attention and how they're more likely to face it than women who are white. The article also mentions the mistrust most women of color patients feel and how more likely they are to feel stressed during their pregnancy because of the discrimination they are facing.  "In turn, stereotype-related gendered racism was positively associated with pregnancy-specific stress (ß = .40, p < .001 Study 1; ß = .33, p < .001 Study 2), and birth control-related mistrust was negatively associated with sexual relationship power (ß = −.19, p = .002 Study 2), which are factors known to contribute to birth outcomes and sexual risk, respectively" (Lobel&Rosnthal,2018). In summary, gendered racism is the discrimination or mistrusting care women of color face when it comes to their health, and in this specific case women's reproductive health.

Furthermore, because of gendered racism, women of color feel more mistreated and stereotyped simply for their identity that they can not change. This article gives a reason as to why women of color face problems of discrimination from health care providers. Even Though this data was only collected in New York, they helped in informing others of health disparities and oppression that women of color face not only in New York, but nationwide and even globally.
