The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is having a meeting right now.

As an international interdisciplinary, professional organization, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) will work to further the understanding and treatment of gender dysphoria by professionals in medicine, psychology, law, social work, counseling, psychotherapy, family studies, sociology, anthropology, sexology, speech and voice therapy, and other related fields.

Stephen Whittle, prominent trans activist of Press for Change UK, was the first non-medically trained president of WPATH between 2007-2009

I've had a skim through their symposium agenda, noted a few familiar names, including Susie Green of Mermaids on a Child and Adolescent Panel: Development of Gender; Dilemma’s and Perspectives from a Researcher, a Clinician and a Parent (p 10).

On p 22 is a topic we have discussed on the board before - UTERUS TRANSPLANTATION: THE NEXT FRONTIER OF TRANSGENDER FERTILITY. Vikram Mookerjee, BA; Miguel Dorante, BS; Raman Mehrzad, MD; Daniel Kwan, MD

And I understand Dr Helen and Dr Mike Webberley are presenting posters at this meeting.

A growing baby will strip the calcium from its mother's teeth if it needs it.

How's that (and the 432,864 other amazing things that grow a baby) going to happen in a transplanted uterus?!??!!

Yes, where are these uteruses going to come from? This is horrific.

Looking at all those speakers - there are an awful lot of people whose careers depend on transgenderism continuing and growing.

I suppose the wombs for transplantation will be harvested from poor, prostituted, and/or trafficked girls and women.

Radical feminism is strenuously opposed to surrogacy for a reason.

This presentation (to an American Christian audience) gives a bit of background to WPATH:
