I told my parents about getting sterilized before the procedure. Now I'm getting a new attempt to dissuade me everyday. They don't care that I won't have kids, just the idea of surgery is wild to them. They said it was sudden change that my hormones are gonna be wack. They blame other people for pressuring me into the surgery. They said I shouldn't let politicians push me into something early.

I'm bisexual, under 30, and single and I just wanted to ensure this part of the future I'm planning couldn't change. For me it's more about a fear of pregnancy instead of hating kids (Though babies are boring). I'd rather make my partner scream their head off if they cared about having biological kids. Plus, A lower cancer risk sounds great.

Is this really the best thing for me? Are the possible hormonal issues really that bad? I haven't heard much about it.

I never through there would be more push back from my family than my doctor.

I'm a US woman trying to do some research and broaden my horizons. Whenever I look up books from Egyptian authors It's stuff from right after Egyptian independence or modern books about ancient Egypt. The Queue and Woman at Point Zero seem really interesting but I know attitudes and bureaucracy have changed in 50 years.

Could I get some book recommendations of English translated books that were published after the 1970s?
