@allhailthegodofbugs.tumblr.com My name is Kara! 30, she/her. I reblog thirsty wlw posts, snarky political shit, vampires, and all manner of critters. This is also the Internet's official God of Bugs appreciation blog. Prostrate yourself before the buzzing deity.
My HRT prescriptions are written by a lesbian and honestly that feels like the natural order of things. Woman with a personal interest in making more women.
I mean like; not only has it become an expectation for people (not just talking about fascists and sexist pigs controlling women's choices) but people are just so... Out of touch with what "having a baby" actually means.
Not just for the immediate future but also long term.
"We'll cross that bridge if it comes to it!" is an alarmingly common response these days when parents are questioned about the future with their child. People seem to be so caught up in just having a child and a pretty nursery that they don't seem to think beyond that point at all.
I know so, so many people who suffered a shitty upbringing because their parents had a child because "its just what couples do." Parents who never planned for unforeseen circumstances. Parents who left crucial developmental stages to other people. Parents who never bothered to learn how to actually raise another human being.
