Why don't I have a right to my son's genitals?
Yes, I am a woman.
Yes, my husband and I have gone round for round on this.
According to the women on this site, I have no say regarding my son's health.
That because I don't have a penis, I can't understand what it's like.
That because his father wants it done, means he has ultimate say.
That I have to be ok with my son being taken from my arms for a surgery that is not necessary.
That I have to see the blood, the stitches, the swelling, all because I do not have a penis.
That I have to know and possibly deal with the there is a possibility of him not nursing because he just had surgery.
I have to learn all these tips and tricks to help my son heal from a surgery after I carried him for 9 months.
That I will be looked down on because I want him to be medicated when they remove skin from his penis, because he may not come out of the anesthesia.
That my husband can tell me he doesn't want him medicated at all, and I should just accept it.
I have to be ok with my baby, who I have wanted more than anything, getting taken away from me, for a unneeded surgery, because I am a mere woman. Just a carrier for a child. Thank you for making me aware of that.
