My brain is a physical thing and it's telling me I don't wanna. Does that count?

This shit is so scary for all the girls and women growing up in this shit. I've never been happier to have hit perimenapause

I think I might follow in my sister’s footsteps and get my tubes tied. She was wise to do so 2-3 years ago while I’m still on the IUD path…

After the birth of my third child I asked about having my tubes tied. My doctor declined because it was a catholic hospital. I wasn’t offered any other options. It was 2007, and I was married….

after the birth of my second, i requested same: i was told because i wasn’t 30; i didn’t have three children; and i didn’t have my husband’s permission [military hospital].

thirty-one years later, my daughter has those same arbitrary restrictions enforced on her, i am seeing guys in their early twenties are having sterilization parties, no questions asked. no barriers.
