yes. and to be clear, it’s not eugenics to make that choice yourself. problem starts as soon as it becomes about others though. seen far too many internet conversations go from

  • “i won’t reproduce” to
  • “it’s my responsibility not to reproduce” to
  • “it’s our responsibility not to reproduce” to
  • “the poor and disabled should be sterilized.”

this post is already getting pretty damn close to step 3 right there. reddit was awful for this so i encourage us to just be aware when stuff like this comes up.
