Doctors are apprehensive about letting young people get sterilised. The problem is that I’m heavily disabled and would feel gender dysphoria with pregnancy.

    That true, but the OP said bisalp which, unless I mistranslated, doesn’t remove the ovaries.

    And I generally interpret “sterilisation” to mean tubal for the following reasons: When removing ovaries or uterus the main reason isn’t usually sterilisation, that’s more like a side effect. If the main reason is preventing cancer and the chosen method for that is hysterectomy, it would also have a sterilisation effect, but I wouldn’t call the operation a “sterilisation” because that isn’t the point of it, you know? And if the point is to do a sterilisation you wouldn’t usually go for a hysterectomy, because tubal interventions have much easier operations and much fewer side effects.
