I mean, I get that it’s hard to reverse. But like it should be a “we will note your desire but it’s not a decision you should make lightly. Go home and if you still want this procedure, come back in 2 months” at the very least.
Depending on how serious the operation is (it ranges from tube tying to outright removal) it’s pretty much impossible to reverse. Full removal also comes with long-term hormone issues.
I absolutely guarantee you that no woman makes that decision lightly. But we are treated as though we are not allowed to make it at all.
If we have a significant other, their desires are prioritized; only if they say ‘go ahead doc, I don’t want anymore kids’ will the doctor do the procedure. If we don’t have a significant other, then we are told that since we might have one someday, the doctor won’t do the procedure until this non-existent man turns up and decides if he wants kids or not.
There’s a reason we women keep a list of the few doctors in the US willing to respect our bodily autonomy and do the goddamn surgery.
