Your auto-fiction strikes me to my heart. Great writing, and thanks so much for sharing it
I hadn't realy considered before the difference between how AMAB and AFAB when it comes to procedures like sterilisation but from what other things I've gleamed this does ring true. one of you went in and got only a couple questions before getting sterilised and the other had to be asked tones of unnecasary questions plus made to wait another week despite the procedures being functionaly the same in severing a connection. I'm assuming it was your experience first, it's annoying that you had to go through that despite being so very well informed.
I'm happy the game shed some light on the double standards we face on sterilization.
The first part was indeed my experience. It was a bit annoying, and sadly it was still better than most people's experience. The gynecologist did actually listen to me, she had lots of questions but respected my answers and my self-knowledge, and I did in the end get the surgery! That's sadly very rare.
