And lets not forget those females who once had uterses and now don't have a uterus,or a cervix, nor do they menstruate. Some of us have had surgical procedures that remove any ability to menstruate or have children. Some of us don't even have eggs.

I'd like to know how such people would classify me. I had a hysterectomy in my forties, which are still during childbearing years. Am I no longer a woman? Did I stop being a woman the moment my uterus was removed? How does that work, exactly?
