Well yeah why would I have kids when I can end my bloodline with estrodiol whilst avoiding tons of work and financial burden, especially considering I’m lucky to even get enough barely to pay for my own living expenses.
Alternatively when I had to choose between transitioning and kids, I transitioned. Having kids now would just be financially out of the picture even if my wife wanted them.
Honestly, I was never interested in kids, so honestly the fact that transitioning makes it harder only sweetened the deal for me.
Now if only I could get my brother to stop having kids. I love my nieces but that guys a shit dad.
The birth rate now is 1.6 children per woman.
A growth pause may be a good thing for future resources and infrastructure stability.
If they don’t want America to get less WASPy, they’re going to have to completely overhaul the social contract to persuade enough people to emigrate from social-democratic Norway or wherever. Failing that, they could get Japan to sell them some elderly-care robots or something.
