Well, while many folks in this community are not defined by their ability to have children, a lot of other people are. Many women feel they are not truly "women" if they are incapable of breeding, and similiarly, many men also feel like less of a man if they aren't even able to reproduce.
I don't feel it makes them a lesser person, whether by choice or not, but like I said, a lot of people put a HUGE important on being fertile.
