I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

I’m gonna be banging on a bit about ovarian cancer symptoms again, but this is important. Here’s a Facebook post from Target Ovarian Cancer about how similar the symptoms are to IBS. This was my experience this summer.
