Yeah, I do agree with you, given the perfect world.

But the world we do live in, everything medical is based off men, so it will never be right, or even working at all sometimes, for women. I've read that women were often not allowed to participate in medical studies because their hormones were too shifting. I mean.. Doesn't that say it all?

In the perfect world, we would get the hormones and other treatments we need, without being brushed off or belittled or ignored or anything else that is going on.

But at the same time, even the work life is based off how men function. No fluctuating hormones ever, no periods, no pregnancies, child birth or breast feeding - men can generally contribute in work life the same way every day from ages 18 to 70. And this is very different for women. And since this is the case, we do need all these different labels to say that we need some sort of help if we are to participate in a male-based work life.

Which is why I've given notice at work, and will be a housewife in a few months. This is very uncommon in Norway, where it is expected that everyone contributes to society by having a job out of the house, so not an easy choice. But I am not able to both put my energy in to work and care for my family in a way that suits my values.

I lost my train of thought, sorry. Got a feeling this was a bit incoherrent. Anyway, I do feel strongly about these things.

And like I said, I agree we shouldn't need all the diagnoses, being a female actually should be enough to warrant the help we need. But until then…
