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.

As others have said, technically yes but in practice it’s difficult. My friend has actual medical issues with hers, and the doctors were still like, ‘but you’re of childbearing age!’ and ‘what if you meet a man someday and he wants children?’ No consideration for her making decisions for her own body at all.

Or maybe they’re trying to find some humor in a pricy vet bill.

JFC get over yourself. If the animal does it to itself, and you rush it to the vet like this person did, that is in no way, shape, or form ‘animal abuse’.

Ball Pythons (unless you’re in Europe; they usually call them Royal Pythons).

If you ever want to try and get over your fear, ball pythons are one of the best snakes for that. They’re silly chubby derp ropes.
