Doug, you get it. You have developed my point with eloquence and compassion. Thank you for contributing to this, I feel your response could be an article in itself if you cared to write a piece? I would love to read it. I'd also love to hear more about your position as a preschool teacher and a childfree male and how there were subtle stigmas or judgements?

My experience working and advocating for childfree and childless people is the hostility and othering they have experienced in all walks of life. Did this impact you in your job?
