I do not think my breasts and vagina make it so I have to have sex or children, I think they are useless because I don't want sex or children, so they just get in the way. I'm not mixing up sex roles and my body. I know they are different and I didn't do a good job separating them in my post. However, ignoring all social and emotional aspects of this, I still would rather be sexless. Breasts get in the way and make it uncomfortable to run and lay on my stomach. For me they serve no purpose and are just unconvenient. Having a uterus and ovaries sucks because I just have to have a period and I don't plan on having children. Having a vagina is pointless because I don't want to have sex.
Edit: As for the thing about having balls, it is a figure of speech. I know courage has nothing to do with gender.
Edit 2: My life isn't restricted by gender roles. It's restricted by this inefficient body if anything. I don't want to put energy into changing society this way because, if I'm honest, it just gives me an excuse to insult anyone that uses these gender roles. If some women can't stand up for themselves, that's their problem. I hate gender roles, but it's not worth my time to try to get rid of them. I only want a sexless body because I would be happier that way. Not because it would get rid of gender roles. I know that those would still be directed at me even if I was genderless. People would still consider me female. I was stating what I hated about being female, not that being sexless would change that. I want a sexless body because it would look so much better and feel so much better to me.
Thanks for the clarification, I now see where you're coming from. I'm wondering how old you are, because if you're really young it would be a shame to have drastic surgery you'd regret later.
I agree breasts can be a nuisance: I have big ones and have always envied women with small ones, but then most of them envy mine .... I wouldn't suggest removal of ovaries because you will then go into early menopause and you won't enjoy that much, apart from the premature ageing, increased risk of heart attack and osteoporosis. I'd have breast reduction myself if I could afford it as long as it didn't affect nipple sensitivity: if I wear a bra the weight pulls on my shoulders and gives me neck problems and if I don't I get rashes under my tits and people stare at the bouncing.
You could take the contraceptive pill non-stop to avoid periods if you're not worried about the longterm effects of artificial hormones.
If you can afford it and can find surgeons who'll do it, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have breast reduction and a partial hysterectomy, uterus only but not ovaries. Might be hard to find one if you're still fairly young though.
I know the balls expression is a figure of speech, but it just perpetuates the crap that links s masculinity with courage and so on, when it's clear women have those qualities too, as you prove with your own bravery in going outside what's expected of you as a woman.
Is it normal to want to have no gender?
