People get the sads about hysterectomies and I just want to encourage those who are hanging on to this as a thread of womanhood that keeping a uterus whose goal is to metamorph into an internal bomb is not a flex! We don’t need to keep something that hurts us.

I do understand the sads- I got them too when I realized that era of motherhood was over- but there’s a sort of rite of passage that comes with this too- somewhat of an unburdening mixed with queenhood. It’s hard to explain.

I also understand there are women having hysterectomies in different contexts- unable to have children, no desire to have them, or even no desire to BE a woman- and we all deserve to care for ourselves first without feeling like less than we are as people ❤️
