the community of women who've had hysterectomies is weird.

In my everyday life, I come from the island of "Having a penis doesn't mean you have to be a boy, and having a vulva doesn't mean you have to be a girl. You get to decide if you're a he, a she, or a they."

And here I am somehow on the cruise ship of "You are still a fantastically feminine woman¹ who is having her uterus removed."

I don't know how I got here, I don't know how to get back, and oh my fuck am I seasick.
