"I knew just being a girl in the world handicapped your ability to believe yourself. Feelings seemed completely unreliable... My childhood visits to the doctor were stressful events for that reason. He'd ask me gentle questions: how was I feeling? How would I describe the pain?... I'd just look at him with desperation. I needed to be *told*, that was the whole point of going to the doctor."
