Nope, because I don't like kids. I'm not planning to maintain a poop factory and don't think I'd be interested in giving up my hobbies to help some teenager

I don't. Part of it is because of being trans and infertile, part of me wonders if I can handle it mentally and financially. And I missed out of my own childhood and teenagehood a little bit and I want to catch up and can't do that if I get children.
There's also the overpopulation concern.
I'm a partial anti-natalist (only partially) but I don't hate children, ofc. And I do think that globally speaking, a falling birth rate is a major problem.
In regards to having children, I got a vasectomy over a year ago, and my Girl never wants to have biological children.
I almost definitely never want to have any children, period. But I wouldn't be completely against adoption, after we move to Chengdu one day.
But that would take decades' worth of personal growth/change from me.
I already cut my balls off, my wife wants to cut of hers too, but we live in a patriarchal society where men can choose what their do with their bodies while women need two kids to do the same.
I'm antinatalist, but don't hate children. Would adopt, but my wife have not interest and isn't something I care that much.
Plenty of people and societies make quite a fuss of men sterilising themselves, it sucks
You aren’t a leftist if you are an anti-natalist. Anti-natalism is based on the assumption that life is more bad than good which is based on subjective views of the world (and has no basis in actual science). It’s not materialist. Secondly, anti-natalism is anti-human and therefore anti-worker. You cannot be a leftist anti-natalist much as you can’t be a leftist racist. Anti-natalism is extremely reactionary.
Anti-natalism isn't inherently anti-human or anti-worker, that is laughable.
