Well, thank you for clarifying.
But I definitely feel that I'm becoming more radical as I get older.
Yeah.
Yes.
I mean, this is... Just stuff like that.
Yes.
It's deeply irritating.
And that sense of shame that we were touching upon is so often internalised by women when they go through some sort of medical experience that is so underfunded and under-researched.

And there's so little money and research devoted to that.
