I feel like that would be an accurate term to describe yourself, but I would rather just say “I don't want kids.”

I don't know all that much about the childfree community, but what I do hear tends to focus on hating kids.

I know plenty of reasonable childfree people, and if I can call myself a feminist and a Christian despite some of the vocal people that make me cringe then I could call myself this too. But it's just not something I think about enough for the label to come naturally to me. I can understand how other people end up thinking about it more when there are people pressuring them to have kids though.

I almost added “I realize not all people who call themselves childfree feel that way” but didn't. Maybe I should have.

I don't see anything wrong with calling yourself childfree (for the same reason you say, there are always going to be unpleasant people in every group). I wouldn't because I don't feel like I need a label for that, but I can see why some people would use it.

It does get old hearing, “You don't want kids? Oh, you'll change your mind one day.”

Sorry, I have a bad habit of directing my thoughts on a whole conversation to one person just because they were the one to prompt me to respond. You were plenty clear.

It's okay! I didn't take offense.

I don't think there's a label out there without some kind of negative association tied to it. (Deserved or not.)
