It’s crushing as someone who desperately wanted to have children, who quit my job to make plans to have them (which made it easier to pull the rug out from under me - easy to win a divorce if they other party can’t afford a lawyer).
I see so many people who don’t deserve their children, who treat them like shit. I wanted a daughter or a son that I could orbit my life around, give someone a chance to learn as much as possible while also protecting them from what hurt me.
But I’ll never get that. Hundreds of depressed teenagers who will need to drop out of school and give up on their future will have children, and fuck them up, but I will never be given that, despite desperately wanting it.

You could adopt? There are lots of kids out there who have been dealt a crappy hand and would benefit greatly from someone who just wants to help.
There's an adjustment period for both parties, and you do face a few challenges unique to adoption - but after a while they are your kids regardless of DNA.

I’ve filed the void by advocating for children in DHS care.
It would be very difficult to adopt as a single transgender person.

I'm glad you've found something positive to fill the void.
And yea you're totally right that would make it harder or much harder depending on where you live, I didnt know your situation - my bad. Your comment just reminded me of some friends of mine that suffered with being unable to have kids but have found happiness in adoption. I wish you well.
