About an hour after the man and I said “I do”, people started coming up to us asking when we would be adding to the family. First off, it’s none of your damn business and second I don’t even know if I can have children because, well, I’ve never tried! How do you know that I want any? Not everyone on this earth feels the need to procreate you know... How do you know I’m even fertile? I swear, the next person who asks me this I am going to make up a story and tell them that I can’t because I was actually born a man or something.

How rude
About an hour after the man and I said “I do”, people started coming up to us asking when we would be adding to the family. First off, it’s none of your damn business and second I don’t even know if I can have children because, well, I’ve never tried! How do you know that I want any? Not everyone on this earth feels the need to procreate you know... How do you know I’m even fertile? I swear, the next person who asks me this I am going to make up a story and tell them that I can’t because I was actually born a man or something.

the same thing happened to me - once, when I said I wasn't going to have children, I had some male chauvinist pig say "you mean you won't use the vessel god gave you" as if I was just some breeding factory. I stopped him dead by saying actually I can't have children, to which he grovelled and said so sorry. I didn't tell him it was because my husband had had the snip.
But a friend of mine had 5 miscarriages and told no one at her work and was constantly upset by people - mainly women - asking when she was going to start a family. So think about how hurtful that question could be and that not every woman wants children or can have children and it really isn't any of your business.
OMG! You're pregnant! I KNEW IT!!!!!
