This was helpful. I needed the reminder about mis-perceiving self care as laziness. Also the reminder that it is worth fighting to have my health concerns addressed and taken seriously.

I kind of hate how much I can commiserate and relate to these people's experiences.

While the focus of this book is on cis white women, there are trans and non-binary people, as well as BIPOC people. Race and gender are discussed as well as you would expect from a white queer woman in 2018. It was well written. I'm glad I read it.

Cw: racism, rape, and abuse. There is some discussion of racist experiences, rape, and abuse from doctors that was super upsetting.
