I asked to be sterilized in my twenties. I have never wanted children, and never was even asked to baby sit when I was a teen because of how awkward I was around babies and small children. I was denied because apparently decades in my own head wasn't enough, I needed to be married first. (wtf I can't even tolerate sex how am I going to get married lol)

In my thirties I tried again, but this time asked to have all of my reproductive organs removed because they cause me so much pain. I got denied because I came out as trans before that πŸ™ƒ The (American) VA can't do any surgeries if there's even a tiny hint that it might be gender affirming for trans and enby folks.
