Yes there will be circumstances where someone's child is taken off them due to extenuating circumstances, such as poor mental health or addiction. But there's also many times when it's simply through poor choice.

What's being said is... straight people who have no fertility issues can keep on having babies without ever being labelled selfish for doing so...

...and it's the job of people who can't have babies biologically without medical help - ie: gay people, trans people and people with fertility issues - to adopt these children before having their own biological babies, or be labelled selfish and weird.

Also, the idea that people think it's okay to turn around to someone they know is struggling with fertility and say "why don't you just adopt" is so insensitive. Regardless of all the other stuff I implore whoever thinks that would be okay to please rethink, many people who are going through the ordeal of IVF would find that so inappropriate.
