It’s all part of the bizarre ‘but women don’t need any non-gynae healthcare’ culture. My personal favourite was having a prescription for very basic lubricant eye drops returned for ‘safety checking’ in someone who ‘might be breastfeeding’

Ah the patriarchy.. We are only defined by our uteruses. Medical intervention should not have any impact on our baby making abilities and should only promote and support it. I asked to be referred for tubal ligation. I was told no. Not while I was still of child bearing age.
