Pretty smart. Hope it wasn't too difficult for you to get it (many doctors treat their patients with condescension and dismissal about sterilisation, especially towards women).
Oh man it was a nightmare finding someone who would sterilize me. I was 24 when I started seriously looking, and I can't tell you how many doctors told me I'd change my mind about not wanting kids (insert huuuge eyeroll here), and one doctor even said that he thought my boyfriend was forcing me into it and that I didn't understand how permanent it was. Thankfully I did finally find someone to take me seriously but man, what a pain in the ass!
Before leaving Reddit, I spent a lot of time on the r/childfree subreddit and read many threads with similar experiences. They have a list of CF friendly doctors, so this is a great resource that can save people a lot of time and frustration.
Yep - back in the day the LiveJournal childfree comm had a similar list which was really helpful!
