1) the book I like for birth trauma is: Mothering from Your Center, by Tami Lynn Kent. Although it looks like she has done an updated version, which is the one you linked.
2) The birth supremacy movement I was talking about is the push to return to "natural birth" at all costs, which means vaginal delivery without interventions like pitocin or an epidural. This leaves people who require birth interventions feeling like either they did something "wrong" or had bad care from their team, which perpetuates harm.
Thanks for having us, Micah!
I have a couple of points of clarification
