I 100% agree with your thoughts. I don't believe I have ever wanted to have children, but I would like to highlight something: the more I age, the more I feel like it's not a deliberate choice but the only option. I'm almost 30 years old and despite I have a steady job (I am a developer) I don't see how I could ever afford to have a child. The rents in my city are insanely high, buying a house is definitely not an option, childcare is really expensive and I don't even live close to any family members who could help me raising a child. But even before that, I really don't trust the maternity services in my country. Here, cases of medical abuse during pregnancy and birth are so common that most people don't even question it. The percentage of episiotomies is over 70% despite being a practice discouraged by WHO. And that's only one example. I feel like I already have enough trauma in my life to take the risk of getting another one.

Your story is so important because women who don't want (or cannot) have children are still seen has outliers. Thank you for this
