TW: anatomical names for reproductive systems

idk what to do or how to bring it up now after the fact so i need help/advice

while on facetime earlier today, i was talking to my gf abt top surgery and i mentioned that i think i want a hysterectomy before top surgery. she wasn’t entirely familiar with what a hysterectomy is and idk all the details of what procedures are called what but i just said “they take everything out, i essentially get fixed” and she responded with “oh they take out your uterus and everything” and right when she said that i just had a wave of dysphoria come over me and i felt so shitty and like that 12 year old girl i was that just felt so miserable all the time.

we’ve never really talked abt what to call the inside parts and i usually just refer to it all as “that stuff”/“inner equipment” and she knows what i’m talking abt so for her to say i have a uterus just made my skin crawl. ik it’s correct but it makes me so dysphoric.

idk how to bring it up or talk to her abt it cause i don’t want her to think i’m being stupid or nitpicky.

we’re long distance so all communication is calls, facetime, or text. help please.
