And this right here, is why I believe people are just trying to control women’s bodies for the sake of what they believe is morally acceptable and correct. I have been trying to get sterilized for quite a long time with no success. I have been childfree since I was 16 and have been bingoed to hell and a victim of reproductive coercion by an abusive ex who didn’t agree with my childfree stance and wanted to keep permanent ties to me. Ever since then, I’ve been telling doctors that my periods are debilitating and pointless because I do not want children. All they care about is my potential offspring that will never fucking exist, and making me feel like a monster for not wanting to experience “the joy of motherhood”. I’ve read many stories about others who have constantly tried for sterilization only to be denied and one day having their birth control fail.
It’s so sad, but I’m hoping that getting married will increase my chances of getting my wish to try lessen my endometriosis symptoms, so I can actually have a better quality of life in addition to me not wanting children. Can you imagine that you’re potential unborn fetus that will never be conceived being more important than YOU having a good quality of life? That doctors, friends, family, and even goddamn eavesdropping strangers would push to see you have kids because it’s “the natural order of things” and “it’s so rewarding” or “it makes you a better person” than respecting your wishes to live your life on your terms? Fuck that noise. Do whatever you want to do if you can with your bodies. I’ll believe they give two shits about kids when they stop forcing people who don’t want them/shouldn’t have them to have them.
And stop lying to these people about pregnancy, child birth, and raising kids being a easygoing and magical experience. There are too many moms and dads who are about three tantrums away from going crazy because they didn’t know what they signed up for, and too many kids who didn’t ask to be here getting abused and neglected.
