We were surprised yesterday to learn that Kate was being asked to fill her vagina with ultrasound gel. The MRI was to characterize her endometriosis. A disease where endometrial tissue develops outside the uterus and grows. It's a gnarly and painful disease with serious health complications. It affects 1 in 10 women and currently takes on average 6.6 years to diagnose. We hustled and diagnosed Kate's endometriosis in 42 days via four speciality different tests (blood, MRI, salvia, transvaginal ultrasound). The fastest and most comprehensive ever, I think. We are doing this MRI because we have… Quoting @_katetolo I had to fill my vagina with ultrasound gel yesterday for an MRI...

Maybe on the good side, it’s actually a golden age for Chinese women because the Chinese girls never had as much education investment apportioned to them as they’ve had after being the only child in the family. And you raised a daughter like a son. And if we look at all the skill gaps and the education gaps and the returns to education, actually girls fared better.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

especially about tone.
