"Because once the medical community accept this as a treatment for cis-women with uterine infertility, such as congenital absence of a womb, then it would be illegal to deny a trans-female who has completed her transition.

"The most important step is the harvesting from the donor as great care is required to avoid damage to the arteries and veins supplying the uterus.
Trans females have a much narrower pelvis than cis-women of the same height, but there would still be room for them to carry a child.

“Supplemental hormones could be taken to replicate the changes that occur in the body when a woman is pregnant.

Transwomen are men.
That is all.

terryleather · 09/02/2019 12:57

And all this stuff about chemicals and blood vessels etc. You do know that they've successfully done this in a woman whose vagina did not develop correctly. The procedure has to be done by caesarean section which means the size of the pelvis is irrelevant.

The womb in that case was transplanted into another woman, not into a man ffs.

I won't be told what to think or do thanks, especially not by weapons-grade hard of thinking wind-up merchants.

MillytantForceit · 09/02/2019 12:58

Possibly, transmen would be in posession of unwanted wombs and would be ready to donate/sell them?

....but these would be man-wombs, misplaced if transplanted into female bodies.

What a tangled web we weave....

FlyingOink · 09/02/2019 13:00

Datun spot on as always

Atrophied though if they had been on T for a long period. Those that don't take T probably plan to use their wombs at some point (in a manly way of course).

FlyingOink · 09/02/2019 13:05

Possibly, transmen would be in posession of unwanted wombs and would be ready to donate/sell them? As a swap for a cock'n'balls combo?
Could work.

PrismGuile · 09/02/2019 13:06

But... where would it be attached to?

MillytantForceit · 09/02/2019 13:07

...So we'll need those pesky un-cooperative ciswimminz to hand over the wombs. Possibly some version of the child-catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang offering them lollipops.

(It worked for Mrs Gandhi's sterilisation programme in India, where men were bundled into vans off the street at random and given portable radios as compensation.)

Some of you need to look in the mirror because you really are contributing to male violence

You are actually saying we deserve the violence that comes our way because we won't kowtow to men? You are beyond weird

Transwomen are raped, they are murdered, they are assaulted, they are trafficked, and they face domestic abuse too. So why the
hostility towards them?

Nope, they are not, at least no more than women. And this is a site section for women, y'know it being fwr. Unless you know more than we do about rape stats.

I know only 10 TW have been murdered in the last decade.(in the UK, it's 360 tw worldwide)
For stats, there are roughly 500 people a year murdered in the UK, and best guess about 400,000 worldwide.

I can't find data about TW trafficked, but general data says worldwide 40million people trafficked, 80%are women and children. So the claim that tw are even trafficked is tenuous at best and probably a big fat lie.

Jaxhog · 09/02/2019 13:07

It's only a matter of time before a transwoman demands a whole female body transplant! (Maybe they could do a swap with a transman?)

LangCleg · 09/02/2019 13:07

Our biology is not responsible for the way in which men treat us.

Oh, what is it then? Do tell us the correct catechism for the latest patriarchal religion to deny us personhood. We're all ears. Please make some lordly pronouncements about it (preferably with some tablets of stone included) and we will all immediately convert and comply.

Not.

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/02/2019 13:08

I just want to clarify an extremely important point - we are not talking about intersex here. That is different.

Just in case anyone is a bit confused.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 09/02/2019 13:11

Not needed but wanted. There is always someone willing to foot the bill for such research.

I can’t begin the imagine how selfish someone must be to decide that they have the right to play god with another human life. They seem to forget the life of the child. Is a person so self absorbed and fixated on ‘being the real deal’ the right person to be a parent? You know the sleepless nights, the constant worry, the spending hours helping with homework and play dates, midnight trips to the a&e... it’s not all coffee with the girls and dressing up baby like a dolly.

Datun · 09/02/2019 13:11

I'm not an academic feminist. But once you see how sexism works, it's everywhere.

I don't know what infuriates me more, the ignorance of not understanding about women's oppression, or the arrogance of actually leveraging it whilst claiming to not understand it.

If you can't replace your hate with love, then at least replace it with indifference and get with the real problem.

Women should be kind, nice, and put others first. You're concentrating on the wrong thing (yourself), let me tell you what to concentrate on (men).

That's leveraging women's socialisation in a post denying it it exists!

You couldn't make it up.

Jaxhog · 09/02/2019 13:12

Some of you need to look in the mirror because you really are contributing to male violence

Ahh, so we must be 'asking for it'. Perhaps we should wear a burka then to stop men from giving into their nasty natures? Or maybe a white hat and a red dress?

Datun · 09/02/2019 13:14

I've said it before. The way to influence people, or make them understand, is to get someone who disagrees.

It's always gold.

OdeToDiazepam · 09/02/2019 13:14

wow that's so clever and well written datum, do you have a man brain?

Made me laugh Grin

This whole thread creeps the hell out of me. Women's aren't pockets for babies?! How would the baby breathe? How would the baby be given everything it needs to grow and develop. Women's organs actually shift, their abdominal muscle splits to facilitate the growth of a full term baby. Their oxygen supply is shared and the baby takes what nutrients it needs as a priority over the mother.

Someone suggesting that a womb can just be transplanted into a man for use this way is mental

Unless it's just going to be some kind is sick trophy posturing

Bowlofbabelfish · 09/02/2019 13:14

jazzbunny

transwomen are not men. They're brains have developed the same as women...

Incorrect. This is not true. Thete are class based differences but not individual differences. It’s a bit like how the height distribution of males and females are different but any one data point you can’t say Male or female.

They’ve done a womb TRANSPLANT into a woman. Who had the correct biology, just an error in vaginal development.

The difference is like swapping the engines of two identical model Volkswagen golfs versus trying to put a jet engine into a go kart.

jazz do you believe humans can change sex?

littlbrowndog · 09/02/2019 13:16

You do the dismantling of the idiots so so precisely datun

MillytantForceit · 09/02/2019 13:18

There's nowhere to put your transwomb. There are muscles and intestines there, pushing onto the narrow male pelvis which is going to crush your kid's skull before you can get to the c-section.

Datun · 09/02/2019 13:18

trying to put a jet engine into a go kart.

Excellent analogy 🤣

OdeToDiazepam · 09/02/2019 13:19

New scientists debunked the idea of male and female brains ages ago.

They found that brains show features associated with both 'men and women', and that it's more influenced by our experiences as we grow, as the brain is a lot more malleable than they thought.

There's not a set brain for each sex basically, I'm not explaining very well but you can look up the findings online

OdeToDiazepam · 09/02/2019 13:19

*New Scientist as in the magazine

Datun · 09/02/2019 13:20

I think women's ribs move as well, don't they? I had an extra large baby, and I'm sure I was told that.

Bowlofbabelfish · 09/02/2019 13:21

‘Look at what you made me do.’
