You shouldn't have to fight to be treated with respect.
You should just be respected.
You shouldn't have to get a PhD in labor & birth statistics to have your choices taken seriously & to receive support.
You should just be supported.
You are an adult capable of making decisions for yourself. End of story.
There is nothing wrong with educating yourself about how your body works and about your options, but you shouldn't have to do that in order to not be abused or taken advantage of.
You could read every research article & book, attend every class, or do none of it, and you should be treated the same.
But that's not how it is.
You have to go in with a plan/a paid support person/ready to fight.
And it's bullshit.
