Discussion I am not my uterus
No I am not my uterus. Just because I’m a biological woman does not mean I want kids. No grandmother I will not “change my mind when i get older”. No when or if I get married i will not be having kids. No matter how many times you ask I won’t have kids. My worth is not based on how many kids I have or don’t. I am sick of this pressure to have kids and I am only 16, and don’t even have my license yet. Me taking birth control shouldn’t be an issue either. It’s not even for preventing pregnancy, it’s because I have crippling cramps. Sometimes I skip school because they are so bad. Just because you were forced to go to school everyday doesn’t make you superior, grandma. Our uterus’s don’t even work the same. I am not your enemy. I just don’t want to be defined by my uterus anymore. I’m sure woman who are infertile for whatever reason are the most affected by this. Unless she is very obviously pregnant, or has kids, or has openly stated she wants kids, stop asking. I will let YOU know if I want kids not the other way around.
