yep the doc wanted my permission for her op like wtf

And it's stupid how hard a vasectomy can be to get if you're younger and living in a red state where most of the hospitals are run by one or two catholic establishments.

Thankfully I managed it, but not until I was older.

Edit: Not discounting how difficult it is to get any kind of reproductive healthcare in this same situation. Just saying that it's not necessarily easier. I had a girlfriend who badly needed a hysterectomy, but she was 27 and MiGhT wAnT a KiD SomEdAy, this (female) doctor literally told me to get her pregnant and I said "Ma'am this isnt that kind of relationship, maybe you should consider doing your job" which she eventually did, but what's a few extra months of suffering, right?
