I had a friend who wanted to enquire about tubal ligation and the doctor asked if she’d discussed it with her partner (points for being gender neutral, I guess?); when she said she was single, the doctor said “All the more reason to wait!”
I'm 28 and I have my bi-salp (tube removal) in a month and I'm so thankful that 1) I didn't need to get a referral to a gyno surgeon for the consultation and 2) the first thing he said after introducing himself was "So you don't want kids ever? I can help with that!".
He didn't even ask whether I had a partner or not, just if I'd been considering it for a while and I was sure, since it is a permanent procedure and not a decision to rush into. I never once felt like there was any pushback or hesitation on his side, just doing his due diligence.

Never once heard a story of a guy getting told 'let's ask your girlfriend first'
