i find the entire line of thought absurd. like im trans, my fertility is gone. does that mean trans accepting countries are genociding themselves by lowering their fertility rates?

like fucking hell

    I was gonna comment to say this, but yes, it is a consistent trend pretty much the world over that as living standards improve, people have way fewer kids. This is due to many factors, but mainly / usually:

    • More kids surviving meaning you simply don't need as many kids to have a shot at reproducing yourselves

    • Women having more rights and access to birth control / abortion services, meaning they can control their own reproductive autonomy

    Either is a positive implication for how things are going there.
