I agree but I’ve heard some women say they can’t find a doctor to do it without a spouse's approval or if they are under a certain age. Not sure if this is really true but it wouldn’t surprise me (the doctors probably fear getting sued).

I would hope so, but I have heard more anecdotes than I can count about that happening to women (especially younger women). True or urban legend? 🤷♀️ I don’t know but it could be worth finding out if it does happen and if so how it can be stopped.
That is what these people say angers them, they think it’s not right that their spouse should have to sign off on it. Again, I have no personal experience with this but have heard many people on many occasions claim it to be true. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised because I know doctors sometimes say dumb and condescending things to patients. If it is true, I think it should be explicitly allowed with no recourse to sue the doctor if the person changes her mind.

Probably easier to become a different gender.

A woman can get a tubal ligation without spouse approval.
As she should be.
Have you read the thread?

no issues if boosted - S/
Wouldn't that place one's spouse in the position of being one's owner?

In what way would having to have one's spouse sign off on a medical procedure not make one the property of one's spouse?
Sounds like an essay question for a midterm exam in a Women’s Studies course.
Which should put it right down the alley of a willing spirit.
I wasn’t arguing against that idea. I don’t think the spouse *should* have to sign off on a procedure like that. Sorry if you didn’t find that clear.
I don't think it is any of the spouse's legal business what medical procedure their spouse receives.
