Successful Womb Transplant
I honestly don't know how I feel about this, my initial reaction is that the scientists have done it just to see if they can. Like an adventurer walking solo to the north pole.
I know that infertility is devastating for those affected, the longing for a baby can be all consuming, but just because they can do this, does it mean they should?
This will be the holy grail for some trans people although I don't know if it work for a man.

This has been on the radar for a few years - the following article is from 2018:-

there are issues with how technically feasible it may be for use on M2F trans individuals (there are a number of strategic anatomical and obstetric problems to overcome) but legally and ethically womb transplants cannot be denied to trans people.
I heard on the radio that she wants one more child but whatever happens the womb will have to be removed eventually so she doesn't have to take the 'anti rejection' drugs for life. It's a triumph from the medical/scientific advance I agree but that money should go towards research for treatments to help the living.
"This procedure was funded by a charity, so no NHS involvement."
Which is as it should be.
The function of the NHS (so long as it bleats that it has insufficient funds) is to address the problems of the sick and injured. Having no womb is neither a sickness nor an injury. I is simply one of life's many disapointments which we all must face.
I don't know who is more barmy in this sorry tale - the donor, the recipient or the medics who spent their time making it possible.
Of course it won't be too long before this procedure is available via the chronically underfunded NHS. That organisation seems to revel in doing things it doesn't need to do whilst simultaneously complaining that it doesn't have the funds to do what it does need to.
Then, as sure as night follows day, the "trans" arguments will begin. And good luck to all of those who have to make sense of that.
Some good may come of it. From what I've heard from third parties (and seen on "Call the Midwife") the process of childbirth is not among the most pleasant of experiences. If one or two men undergo the transplant procedure as part of their claim to be women and they then go on to give birth it might cut the number of "trans" claimants down.
I imagine that because of male anatomy, a man giving birth will be even more unpleasant than when a woman, built for the job, does so. It may make Malcolm realise that there is more to being a woman than growing his hair, wearing a frock and insisting on being called Mavis.
brain transplants for trans people into donor female bodies erm would not suprise me in the future, or perhaps study the brains of dead trans people and find the disorder because it is an anomaly wanting to have your nethers removed and re-jigged, and the fact some regretted it, at great loss.. erm id say so, and great pain and cost, so at least try a rectify this enigma anomaly.
