I remember when Carmen Carrera (drag queen turned trans woman) was basically telling women " if you say I'm not a woman because I'm not female you're reducing ourselves to your uterus" or something, and that was a go-to argument from TRAs...but now that they've got the illusory hope of getting a uterus transplant they sure want one uh? That's not even getting into everything I've read about uterus transplants. They're extremely costly and risky, I've read a doctor dissuading women from going through it because of the risks and massive toll it takes on your body. Moreover, the only successful transplants were done on women born without a uterus or that had a hysterectomy, but still had ovaries. They then waited until the women had a cycle, then proceeded with IVF. After a successful pregnancy, the uterus is removed because risk of rejection is high. How do TRAs think this is going to work on a male body?
