Why I Don't Want Children (or, How My Uterus Became a Shriveled Walnut)

I'm a straight woman in my 30s, but I've known from a very early age that I never wanted to have children. My presentation explains why I feel that way, and pinpoints moments from my past where I could feel my uterus shrinking into my body just a little bit further (example: the day I learned what "episiotomy" meant).
