This is such a weird fact of histerectomies. The medical community is so adamant about refusing the procedure in the face of serious physiological conditions yet are so willing to hand them out to people that gain nothing by the procedure.

I think it might not necessarily be a double standard. It's that doctors are usually cautious but gender doctors are fucking idiots in general. If you are willing to buy into the gender shit to begin with, you need to be a bit crazy and also sociopathic enough to put people on hormones knowing full well how damaging it will be.

There's a difference between being cautious and being monstrous. Someone with crippling period pain, regardless of mental health condition, should be able to get an hysterectomy on demand. MOST About a third of* women end up with hysterectomies by the time they are old. It's super common. It's a well-established procedure and safe as a major surgery can be. With the robots, it's probably one of the safer procedures that's commonly done.

The number I just found is 30-35% of women over 50 have the procedure. I had no idea it was that high but it's by no means "most".

Also we are talking about doctors' willingness to authorize the procedure while the person can still have children.
