I’m pretty much in the same thought boat as you, personally. I’ve contemplated getting snip pretty seriously since I was even younger, and I’m not anywhere near being too old to have kids.

A comrade made a point I thought was valid: fascists are having kids, so should we - so that the next generation will be even more radical than us as we teach them radicalism from a young age (although Pete Buttigieg might disagree with that assessment lol). If I were to ever want a child, I would adopt. Same opportunity to raise young Marxists, and it gets an already existing child out of the system.

There may also be some internalized eugenics-y reasons for me personally, not wanting to pass on my many disabilities through blood. That might be fucked up and I would adopt a disabled child in a heartbeat, but the idea just rubs me the wrong way, like I said personally.

edit: I also want to add that I don’t view anyone other than myself with this mindset. It is others’ prerogative whether or not they have children despite their disabilities, and I support them in that. I also think that there is an unfair malignment of people who do not want to pass their genes down, for disability-related reasons, however.
