Ok so, leaving aside your assumptions about me simply because I don't like a trope in fiction.
I too have known women who've done everything possible to have a child. I've known women go through their life savings on IVF. I've seen it destroy marriages. I've known women consider themselves less because the can't have kids. I have known kids who were adopted and I know parents who've adopted.
And perhaps the fact that the media enforces this idea that you're less of a woman if you can't have kids and a mother if your child is not yours biologically contributes to this? Perhaps things like a woman considering herself more worthy of sacrifice because she can't have kids says something? Perhaps the idea that a mother is less of a mother and a child less of a child says something to those mothers and kids watching? And perhaps having positive portrayals of adoption or surrogates or women who can't have kids would help change people's perceptions? Perhaps young girls growing up would be less likely to consider their self worth based on whether or not they can have kids if they didn't have media constantly telling them such?
I personally do not like this trope, just like I don't like love triangle. It's nothing against people who feel like that irl, any more than it's anything against people who have relationships issues irl. And it's one element of a series. Perhaps, it's not enough to make me turn off completely, perhaps it is, perhaps it's a big part of a plot, perhaps it isn't. I'm merely voicing a dislike for it, in general, and as with all these tropes that we generally dislike, as a preference, there will be exceptions depending on how it is done. If you don't mind it, or think that it's always fine because it reflects real life, that is your right and you do you, however I dislike it.
