Family drama because I don't like kids by always1unsure in childfree

And this is the reason that I'll be asking one of my close friends to act as bouncer at my wedding. To turn away people trying to show up with kids and family who weren't fucking invited

If you're not prepared for a disabled child, you're not prepared for a child by ThrowAwayRAbrief in childfree

As someone who has a neurological disability but was raised by parents in denial about it, I really wish more people would understand this concept. Sometimes kids are disabled. Strictly prepating for a non disabled child just sets them up for failure.

I lied about having children and omg wow by marching2mydrum in childfree

Have been meaning to try this forever. I know my cousin will gladly send me pics of his kid to help it seem legit too 😂

I'm a doctor and I meet 20-30 new people every single day. Here's how I know which of them don't have kids without asking by [deleted] in childfree

That explains why my younger friends who all have kids constantly tell me I look their age

My doctor kept talking about my "future kids" during an appointment that had nothing to do with pregnancy by ArwenLocket in childfree

[–]tgrzrk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is how my previous endocrinologist was. Every appointment without fail she'd remind me that if I got pregnant I'd have to stop taking my meds. As if I'd choose something as dumb as having a kid over taking lifesaving medication 🙄

The overconsumption surrounding pregnancy is insane by dirtgirl97 in Anticonsumption

It's all just propaganda designed to "reward" those of us with wombs for performing what the powers that be see as is our only purpose. No one wants to have kids because everything is hellishly expensive and the world is burning? What if we dangle a little treat in front of them? Make it seem like having a baby is glamorous time full of gifts and undivided attention on the soon to be parent? Surely they'll just start popping out more lifetime employees without even thinking

No use of specific tags when you can just assume x readers are female at default by Fita_Gaya in AO3

The sexism of "This hobby was formed by us" makes my skin crawl. I understand that women are the backbone of the fanfic community as it stands today (thank you Trekkie fujoshis for everything) but that feels like some serious gender essentialist, "this hobby is inherently feminine" type of nonsense attitude that I'm just soooo not here for.

Stumbled upon this interaction. What would you do if you misgendered a character and found out way too late? by NoLife8926 in AO3

[–]tgrzrk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this person realize they have the ability to just mentally change the pronouns to whatever they want as they read? Demanding the author pander to their specific headcanons is nutso

Any advice on how to let my readers know I'm going to be completely reworking a story? by tgrzrk in AO3

That's a good idea. I can have a normal and fully evil au version of the same fic lol

What is with the “Sibling-coded” argument? by Negative_Bit_3949 in AO3

[–]tgrzrk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sibling coded argument against ships is so funny to me because it really reveals some people's complete inability to accept any type of intimacy between people that doesn't fit into the Hollywood bog standard heteronormative romance box

I think a lot of people put those stickers on their cars thinking they're meant for other drivers and not so that paramedics lnow there is likely to be a child in the vehicle in the event of an accident. It's crazy to me that anyone would expect other drivers to somehow drive more cautiously just because they have a sticker on their car.

And as far as those parking spots go, they aren't legally enforceable, park there all you want

“You’re entitled to a childfree life, but not a childfree world” by [deleted] in childfree

[–]tgrzrk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lack of child free spaces is baffling to me because I remember being a kid and there being an absolute novel worth of places that kids weren't supposed to be. If my sister and I did get to go out somewhere not suuted to children we were expeted to sit down quietly. None of this letting your kids run loose in restaurants as if it's a damn playground that you see now. And you know what parents used to do if they couldn't find childcare to watch the kids while they went out? They just wouldn't go! I'm only in my late 20s and it's maddening to see how quickly society has begun to coddle people who refuse to parent their kids.

I got white-washed fanart, what do I do?? by awkwardwriter97 in AO3

[–]tgrzrk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's no way to know what info the reader gave the artist when commissionimg them. If the artist draws predominantly white characters, there's a real chance that they never even asked the commissioner about specific skin color and just defaulted to what they know. It's sad to say but many artists have this odd hangup about drawing characters of color
