Logically, then, not having periods anymore, or not having the internal organs that allow for the carrying and bearing of children, must mean that we are either no longer women, or that we must be "less" womanly. What we need to remember is that we are essentially women - an organ or two, more or less, is only that: an organ or two, more or less. Our identity as women is written in our DNA - unchangeable, mysterious, and essential. Women have 2 X chromosomes; men have an X and a Y. Therefore, the mystery and beauty that is woman is etched in our mitochondria - losing an organ or two won't change that. Right?
