Ted - you are a genius! I’m sorry to hear about the infertility you are experiencing. I write alot about being childfree by choice and nuances involved in this lifestyle. Many of my articles are sensitive to the childless and compassionate to parents. But like you acknowledge society pedals an enormous amount of BS when it comes to romanticising and fetishing having kids.

Have you heard of the term pronatalism? It may interest you. I can direct you to some reading/listening on this if you are interested.
