A Response to the ole "You won't be a woman anymore" line

Hi Ladies,

I am scheduled to have a TAH on Oct. the 8th and a MALE co-worker and I were on the way to lunch today. So, he turns to me and says that after I have the surgery I will not be a real woman anymore. Of course this is thru personal experience - his wife had a hyster. Yeah, right.

Well, I pondered for a very quick moment. I turned to him and said, "You're absolutely right. That's why I have asked my doctor to sew up my vagina during the surgery so the world can officially label me as an IT." He turned bright red and he didn't say a word all the way back to the office. I think I made my point.

Just wanted to share. Love the site - don't know what I would do without everyone's support. Take care!!!

That was a pretty cold, not to mention sexist, statment from him. Wonder if his wife knows he feels that way. If he's had a vasectomy, does that mean he's not a real man? I'd figure there were more issues than a hyster involved.

To be honest, I feel more feminine since my SAH/BSO than I ever did in the past. Gotta love white lacy panties Never could wear them before! Kinda like the old song: I love being a girl!!

Maybe his wife told him that she had her vagina sewed shut. Perhaps she was sick and tired of him!! I think he would deserve it!

Hi Norseworthy,

We are going to the Castle the same day. I'm having a TAH/BSO. Your post made me very glad for all the support I've received at my place of work. How very insensitive your co-worker was. I sure feel sorry for his wife!

I hope you have a quick and easy recovery.

How rude of him, and how quick/good of you!!! Awesome come back!!

My mom had a hyst, and ever since, my Dad has gotten sex maybe 5 times in the past 30+ years. She told him she lost desire, and she had no desire to do anything about it, and would never, has never. I don't think it's fair to him, but, it has made him form an opinion about it-any woman who has a hyster. will never want sex again, since this is all he knows, and has to live with.

Sad.

Oh, if I could only think so quickly on my feet as you! Bravo.

What an awesome comeback! Maybe he will think next time he starts to talk!

I wanted to let you know that I too feel much MORE female now that I am not dealing with constant cramping, bleeding and bloating.

My sex drive is better now than it ever has been....
