Perfectly understandable. It's your own personal choice and none of others' business anyway. Kudos.

No one should ever get shit for not wanting to have children. While I laughed hysterically at the stamp, I stayed behind for the artist comments, and I commend you for both. You should do what you want to do, and it sounds as if you are going to do just that. Props to you.

I get shit about it all the time, so I tend to avoid the topic like the plague. The only people who haven't given me shit are the various psychologists/psychiatrists/therapists I've spoken with and happened to mention it to. They are completely supportive, and they would know if I'm being crazy!

I think you don't even have to make excuses. If you were perfectly suitable for having children, yet didn't want to, it's your decision and none of anyone's business.

Exactly. Sadly, even my health isn't a good enough excuse. My dad is particularly awful about it saying that a proper woman should want to die for her future children, so my health "is no excuse".

I don't think the children would be happy to know that their mother died because of them. Besides, it's easy for men who will never have to go through that to say such a thing.
Just take care of yourself and do what you want to do; it's your life and body.

It's horrible that people give you shit about not wanting to have children. People really seem to think our wombs are not our own. My motivation for not having kids is also related to staying alive. I have intense dysphoria. I would rather kill myself than have a child.

It's not even just about survival for me. My health is a reason, sure, but I plain don't want to give birth, ever. I don't like kids, either. I never wanted to be a mother, I've been wanting sterilization since I was young enough to understand "fixing" cats.

Yeah, that's also fine. Not liking kids is something we can agree on too, I am definitely not a child-friendly person and just plain don't want kids ever. Not from my own insides and not adopted either.

It shouldn't even have to be explained if others don't want them. Men get stupid comments if they don't want them too. I think those who make the comments are pissed that they were too dumb to not ever buy a condom.

Haha, perhaps, or brainwashed by society.
What's worse is that when a woman wants sterilized, it's one thing, people give you shit sure, but a guy getting sterilized means he's no longer a man apparently.

THIS.
Same for me. I'll play if I want, but nothing is staying. :I Birth control plzkthxbai. Actually, preferably getting my tubes tied before it ever happens. :\
If I want kids, I WILL ADOPT. >:I I'm not going to contribute to overpopulation.

Probably a good thing you don't want kids anyways, eh? If I'm having any kids(provided I ever start to like them), I'm adopting. No way in hell I want to pass on my issues to someone else.

I have diabetes, so there would be a big risk of any of my offspring getting it too. :/ Just one of the reasons I'd prefer not to have kids of my own.

But mine are testicles. They're passenger terminals by definition.

Crushing the vas deferens (a vasectomy) can fix that. After a certain period of time, a few years I believe, sperm cells are insufficient for reproduction because your testicles stops producing for the purpose of movement, so they don't.

I'm still too young to get a vasectomy. Plus, you never know when the next great plague will require repopulation. Not likely, but still a possibility.
