I was in 4th grade, and was not allowed to leave the classroom to use the bathroom…and had the “in-situ explosion”. Unfortunately, it was not the thing that was comedic for me. What followed was years of teasing and shame. Even now, I feel like I am “confessing” (and you know me, girl, I’ll tell you ANYTHING!) It was a devastating and damaing moment, based on denying my own body’s needs! Take ‘em on, girl!

Thank you for pointing to it in the medical world.

It’s difficult to believe that there are people who have the kind of mind-set that the natural is not as good as cutting people open and putting them at risk. As far as I am concerned, natural everything tops the alternative. Hurrah for women who speak up and let the world know they are not to be toyed with by anybody. Hurrah for women who have a handle on their power and refuse to give it away!

Woman’s power is often diminished by “words” assigned to them, their choices and decisions.
Would one male ever use the word “naughty ”
when addressing another male!

I can’t tell you how many times I have walked out of a medical professional’s building and never returned : )
