this was from /r/all, this was a foreseen crisis that a lot of millennial and now zoomer women have been very unmarried and chronically single and will at some point become unable to have kids (approaching that point now?)

honestly I’ve never been super focused on becoming a parent, I thought it was something that might happen, but I’ve also been pretty single throughout life and considered an intentionally celibate life

It was really always just about meeting the right person, and I’ve met some “ok” people I’m just not sure who would be the “right” person for me

The parents of some of these kids seemed to give them no warning that they have a timeframe to have kids within though

    I think it’s true that many of them are waking up rather late to this realization that you can’t have kids forever, especially as a woman.

    What’s going to be even more tragic is the wave of self-sterilizing zoomers who eventually figure out that they are not “trans”.

      that’s another risk of “transgenderism” that isn’t talked about, a lot of things non-trans people do don’t affect their fertility… fertility is a thing some people take for granted so much, I guess women should be taught they have more of a time limit with it and trans people that you’re absolutely getting rid of it in some cases

        Yeah, the way they talk about it is criminal, they talk about it like it’s no big deal and fully reversible.
