Because I’m through with mine. It’s about as much use to me as my tonsils - less, in fact, as my tonsils still probably catch a few bacteria now and then, while my stupid uterus does nothing but bleed every month. As I don’t want children (never have, never will, don’t bother asking), I’d really rather be relieved of it and its inordinate demands on my blood supply. I’m well aware that, as female reproductive systems go, mine is far from the most troublesome out there, but I’m sick of these days each month when I turn beige and can’t think of anything except how nice it would be to take (yawn) yet another nap.

Ugh. I hate being stuck in a female body. Not that I want a male body, either, thanks - not with all the hairy bits and dangly bits. I’d like to put in a request for something in between. And maybe it could be fluorescent, too, like these pigs in Taiwan. Though I’d rather be purple than green.

Oh, wow. Just after I wrote this post, I clicked on Google’s latest headlines and saw this. Well, if they ever want a live donor, I’d put my hand up. They can do hysterectomies laparascopically these days. Maybe the recipient would pay the donor’s medical expenses?
