“How did we do for our very first cosplay?”

““I remember the excruciating pain and feeling betrayed,” she wrote. “I was told not to talk about it, but keeping the secret meant I was alone with my questions as I grew into puberty: what was missing? What would it be like to be ‘whole’?

”Bergstrom shared some of the serious risks associated with the procedure, namely that she and her first child could have died during childbirth.

She wrote, “I, like so many women around the world, did not know genital scar tissue does not stretch. I wanted to be fully awake to experience giving birth, but my obstetrician performed an extensive episiotomy under anesthetic that took months to heal.”

“My first child was in danger of becoming stuck in the birth canal,” she explained.

“It was never rare, but it also wasn’t common,” explained Dr. Sarah Rodriguez of the Northwestern University Medical School. “A lot of Americans don’t know about this particular type of history because it was a quick procedure and it was done in a physician’s office, and also because probably it wasn’t something that families really talked about amongst themselves.”

Bergstrom noted that she decided to finally share her story because, she said, “This is not my shame. The shame belongs to our (Christian/religious) culture, and the medical profession.””

Uncovering the Veil Nebula (2007).

Can we talk about Tryla Scott for a second?

She only appears briefly in one episode of the first season of TNG, and she doesn’t have that many lines, but there’s one line that just kills me. Captain Keel is introducing her to Picard, but he doesn’t even have to finish the introduction, because Picard already knows her by reputation.

Picard: “Tryla Scott. It’s said that you made captain faster than anyone in Starfleet, present company included. Are you that good?”

Scott: (smiles) “Yes, I am.”

That’s it. That’s all. He states a fact (she made captain faster than anyone in Starfleet history), then pays her a compliment. She replies that she is, indeed, that good. She doesn’t deflect her own success by claiming that she owes it to others, she doesn’t stop to consider that her acceptance of this compliment might make her male colleagues feel bad. She owns her success with a simple “Yes, I am.” It is hers. No one else has handed it to her.
