Women: trust yourselves. Our medical system is subtly and systemically misogynistic (and racist, and fat-shaming, and the list goes on). If you are experiencing something with your health, and you’re met with a dismissive or invalidating attitude from healthcare practitioners, do not let this make you shrink into shame or silence. Trust your body. And anytime something smells like b.s., speak up, push back, advocate for yourself. Rather than questioning yourself, question the system.
