I’ve been going through this dance with my body for about a year pretty regularly. Every month, to be exact. And every month I get mad because I should be used to it by now. But every month I forget, and every month it catches me off guard like the sneakiest, most underhanded opponent, and it’s just not fair!
I thought moments like this were handled really well with Callie. There's a thoughtfulness and authenticity that comes from Own Voices authors that feels like a safety blanket as a reader.
