ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Infertility and childlessness stigmas

Okay kiddo, let me explain. Infertility means some people have a hard time having a baby. It can be because their body doesn't work the way it should or they can't get pregnant for some other reason. Childlessness stigma is when people judge others who don't have children or who can't have children. Sometimes people think that those who can't have babies are not as good as those who can. They might even say hurtful things to them. This isn't fair because having a baby doesn't make someone better or worse than others. It's important to remember that everyone deserves respect no matter what.
