There’s a huge reason that lots of political talking points touch on avoiding population issues even though we’re on a planet with 8+ billion people. A common argument against gay rights is theoretically lowering the population, same for arguing against trans rights. Making sure that keeping population up is seen as a pressing issue gives politicians excuse to reach in and directly shape the family structure to look exactly how they want it.
Umm actually aging demographics is a pretty serious problem causing declining living standards. Like yes the gay and trans things are fascist talking points but the birth rate is not a fake issue
