I can distinctly remember my daughter being told 13 of these. Thank you for writing this! These responses are great - respectful, but a clear boundary that says “I know my body better than you do. Please work with me and not against me.”

It’s so great to see this broken down, and the response section is so helpful. I wish I had had access to this when I was genetically diagnosed in 2005. I have learned some of these lessons the hard way, but this is still such a great reminder after all of these years! Thank you…

This is awesome! And we need to take back the narrative in inadequate and inaccurate records. Thank you for writing this - keep going!
