I think everyone feels like this, just replace the parts of your body with other parts or your soul and mind if this isn't the exact thing you have or could feel. We all feel that society and groups of or singular other people demand we give parts of ourselves like this. But I think the specific choice of the art piece is perfect.
It's not about giving of ourselves, it's about being so objectified for having particular body parts that you'd rather not have them, just so you could be treated as a human being.
