does a funny dance

1) sex education has become over crowded with gender issues and that leaves even less space for anatomy. I know many women in their 30s, so went through school before “gender bs” who learned that the uterus was for babies to live in. And for periods. Full stop. Not more. Like they think it’s a pokemon ball or a sturdier target plastic bag. And it wasn’t bad education all in all.

2) does the doctor care? And I mean outside us and other hyper traditional countries I hear many women getting the surgery “greenlit” super easy. While progressive and a win for body autonomy I have yet to hear a doctor explain the function of uterus besides “baby room” even when preparing for the surgery. They inform the women about hormonal imbalance and in the same breath tell them we got pills for that so no need to worry. We can supplement easily what you loose which is simply untrue.

There is a big money/capitalism issue in Healthcare. The pendulum swings between either I wanna rip my uterus out cause it’s not a badyfactory and omg the possible babies. But where is the middle? Where is the informed choice? Where is the information which is not motivated by traditionalism or anti traditionalism? Or money? Removing a healthy organ because you don’t want it is not “normal”. We don’t prevent health issues by removing every single “unnecessary” organ. That’s just dualism imo and peak capitalism aka your body is a machine and can be taken apart, parts can be thrown out and we can replace everything. Iam really skeptical towards “final statements” like that.

Dozens of countries forcibly sterilised ethnic minorities, poor women, disabled people in the past century, and some are still doing it today. Of course a lot of people are going to have a poor opinion of it. And even when it’s not forced, when it’s only “offered”, suggested…who is getting that offer ? who is offering ? and who is it benefitting ? 

Is it really because they want to respect women’s reproductive choices, or because if they’re not pregnant, they’ll work more ? It is a known issue in some Indian districts that many female workers are pressured into getting hysterectomies by employers so they don’t miss a single day of work because of periods, pregnancy or reproductive issues caused by their bad living conditions. Some of them can be very young. Is it really consent when you don’t know how to read, and that not getting it done is risking your wages and risking infections ? Hysterectomies should not be normalized or seen as normal birth control. We see how some employers in the west pushing and paying for their female employee to freeze their eggs and delay pregnancy, and they don’t do it out of the goodness of their hearts, they benefit from it, do we really want them to start “offering” permanent sterilisation too ?

Sometimes hysterectomies are “offered” with a C-section, are we sure that white, wealthy women are asked “sure you don’t want tubal ligation while I’m in there ?” as much as poor, black or roma women ? 

this trend is making rounds on twitter so uh. 2017 vs 2022 me

LOOK. IT’S EVERY SINGLE STEREOTYPE ABOUT MEN’S RIGHTS ACTIVISTS PUT INTO ONE HANDY-DANDY DEMOGRAPHICS SURVEY SO IT CAN BE STATISTICALLY VALIDATED!! [x]

1) it was shown that gay cis men's brain scans matched trans womens (because all the trans were also exclusively attracted to the same agab). brain sex isnt really studied enough to soundly use as an argument

2) surgeries and estrogen create a feminized male, not a female (same thing but opposite direction for trans men; they're masculinized females). lots of trans women still have very male skeletal structure, voice, socialization, not to mention that Most Trans Women Don't Even Get Sexual Reassignment Surgery. and for those that do, its still vastly different from a real vagina.
