Sometimes revisiting old articles doesn't make me squirm but actually makes me laugh. This one - on why (primarily women) sit so strangely and how it affects us, has been a delight. So that's something! www.refinery29.com/en-gb/women-...

There is a lot of chat about overdiagnosis which is rightly being interpreted as reactionary. But having read Suzanne O'Sullivan's new book, and then spoken to her about it, I think so many of the takes on her work are simplistic.
