A friend who had repeated surgeries to remove fibroids had to get two medical opinions and a psych eval in order to get her hysterectomy. Because any woman who wants to be free of pain and repeated surgeries is obviously insane...

I've had friends with multiple children turned down for permanent sterilization, because "Well, what if something happened? Or what if you got divorced and your new husband wanted kids? Or or or... There's always a fucking "OR" isn't there?

I was lucky in a couple of ways. I was 35 when I decided to get fixed, and my doctor was a staunch feminist. Not everyone is so lucky. Most aren't, actually.
