I think my fear wouldn't be so bad if it was not a social expectation for AFAB people were expected to have biological children. My fear is one part about the risks pregnancy has on the pregnant person. I feel upset that pregnancy and raising children is romantisised and the risks are not talked about realistically. It also upsets me that children are seen as a milestone in relationships and proof of commitment, and just reduces children as objects or props for a "perfect" relationship. I wish how raising children were realistically talked about as well. I just feel like when I talk about my fear a lot of it is I will get over it and the desire to have children will make it all better. Then I am upset if I do have biological children I am tied to the person who got my pregnant legally for the rest of my life. This makes me feel unsafe around AMAB, specifically cis men, all the time because I know that if they violate me they can have such power over me if I am forced to have that child. This fear has highten even more when Roe v Wade was overturn. I even thought about breaking up with my partner on the sole factor he could potentially get me pregnant and cutting contact with everyone in my life who can potentially get me pregnant because of how much control legally they have over me now if they devide to r*pe me. It upsets me that my government took so much control over my own body away. I just want sense of safety back when I'm around cis men again.
