Women’s health is a shockingly taboo subject. We’re living at a time when people are talking more about their private lives than ever before. Social media has not only given men and women platforms to share information but also helped build communities that might not otherwise exist. Body image, pregnancy, female diseases, and miscarriage are coming to the forefront because women want to let others know they are not alone. Bindi Irwin is one of those women. The daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, opened up about her battle with endometriosis, not to gain sympathy, but to share knowledge. Robert Iriwn is unbelievably proud of Bindi and wants the entire world to know it.

“So I’m a very proud younger brother,” Robert Irwin told People. “She is amazing in everything she does, and I’m just here to back her 100%.”
Robert Irwin Has Nothing but Great Things to Say About Bindi
During a recent interview, the Dancing with the Stars champ shared high praise for his big sis.
“Bindi’s journey with endometriosis has been amazing because it’s hard to battle through that. And it’s easy to just let it be a silent kind of battle,” Robert said. “But she’s decided to actually amplify that, to spread her story, to share that with people, to help other people. That’s a brave thing. That’s a challenging thing.”
Robert Irwin added that seeing Bindi speak up about something that many other women would not make him incredibly proud.
“And endometriosis is a very hard thing to go through that so many people sort of suffer in silence or suffer undiagnosed,” he added. “And I really just try and follow her lead. She’s amazing. Anything that I can do to amplify this message of women’s health that she spearheads so well, I mean, sign me up. I’m there.”
Hearing Robert champion his sister makes us love this family even more.
