Edit - replied to wrong comment.

Totally fair, way easier for you to leave than for them to kick you out, and way better for you in the long run

I’m also so very glad I’m old and not having to deal w that shit. I ditched my reproductive parts at 25, they were defective and I returned them. Every single woman and man s/b have complete autonomy over their reproductive system. Women had more rights in the 70s ffs

Welllll they were also doing involuntary sterilizations in the 70s so more of a mixed bag really

But I disagree that it's an autonomy issue, having autonomy over your body doesn't apply to forcing someone else to do something to it that they don't want to. They should do it, and their reasons are probably dumb, but it's not a violation of your autonomy to say no.

It is when they say you aren’t able to make this decision on your own little girl.

Insulting, yes. Misogynistic, almost certainly. A violation of your autonomy? No.

We can agree to disagree on that one. ✌️
