That’s a pretty big decision for a 22 year old. I understand your point about it feeling condescending, but I can’t help but feel like the doctor was doing you a massive favor. It may have been an inconvenience but that’s better than the chance of a lifetime of regret.
People have kids at 22. That's a really big permanent decision too that completely changes the trajectory of one's life. If having a kid at 22 is ok, then taking steps to make sure that you don't have one should also be ok. Otherwise that is promoting a double standard.
A 22 year old is an adult. I should have the ability to make 100% of decisions regarding my body. If a mistake was made it was mine to make. I could get a middle finger tattooed on my face without a note. I can have a whole litter of babies and no one makes me write a letter. So imo you can kindly fuck off.
