Unfortunately, I think the people who should be sterilizing themselves are not the ones doing it. (not talking about eugenics)

Next step for Republicans: Ban sterilization. I mean plenty of doctors already refuse to agree for a patient to have a vasectomy/get their tubes tied, especially young (and white) patients, because of shitty personal beliefs. Why not go a step further? These working class heathens need to be forced to stay in line.

My mum, when she was in her mid40s, went to get her tubes tied. Dr refused, "still of child bearing age." Her response: I've got 6 kids, tie these damn tubes or I'll do it myself!

Edit: a word

I've said this elsewhere, but if you are in the states and have health insurance sterilization is covered! For those with lady bits too! This changed with ACA and as soon as it was in effect I started searching for doctors. Easier said than done unless you are old or already have children. But it is possible now, unless you are in some state that used their right to take that right away.

wait until they ban that too with these ghouls you never know.

this will be an interesting example of the cobra effect though.

I avoid having kids by simply being completely unappealing to women. 😤

Is it possible to learn such power?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

The simplest way is to be a Reddit mod.

Dunno if I’m ‘young’ but I did get snipped 3 years ago. No kids for me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I got it done at 22 years old, no ragrets and no oopsies so far

I would look into this if I thought for a moment that someone might consider having sex with me ever again.

Well, now I have to make a doctor's appointment.

I support any person who chooses not to have children. It’s saving the planet. There are way too many people.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

You keep being told that. There are way too many billionaires, that's the real problem.

How long until we see cishet women with "no unsnipped guys" in their Tinder bios?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Not sketchy at all /$

As someone who was single and looking on dating apps a year ago I wish they did. Would have made my job easier since I don't want kids and not everyone puts that on there. I was extremely upfront about being a loser gamer (I play league) that doesn't want kids. You'd be surprised about the amount of people who still contacted me based on looks alone and didn't bother to read the bio.

I was extremely upfront cause I know who I am and what I want and I'm not hiding it. Take me or leave me. Turns out It worked and I found my fiancee that way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Same here. I'm dude who was very upfront in his bio about being an asexual nerd and I still got booty called by plenty of women who seemed surprised when I told them I was ace. And it's not even like I'm hot. That's not just low self esteem talking, I'm so generic looking people literally struggle to describe me and I think it's hilarious. I'm pretty sure a lot of people (men and women) are just lonely and playing the numbers game hoping something works at this point.

Don’t mind me, my trans ass is just over here laughing about how “concerned” the GOP is about trans kids’ fertility while lighting a fire under the ass of cis adults (which you may have noticed greatly outnumber trans children!) to get themselves permanently sterilized.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Also they love to make it a pain in the ass to bank genetic material. Like, if they covered that in health insurance a lot of trans people would just in case
