...and she waved it at me, so I said "Right you're supposed to have a chat about your wishes with your family." She, continuing to waggle it, says "This is me telling you about my wishes". So I said "Okay, but have you thought about your womb and the trans thing?"

Turns out she doesn't want a man using her womb after her death.

So that's fine, but it made me think; should we all be stipulating this in writing to the organ donor organisation?

Wombs are not on the list.

It's getting very politicised Rain, so I can easily imagine a lot of resources (and wombs) being sacrificed to the effort.

You can't pick & choose who your organs go to. As far as i'm aware the family don't get told which organs go where anyway?

No one is seriously proposing womb transplants for men though, it's just wishful thinking
