Fuck this. Transwomen already have a means of procreating: it's called fatherhood. Biological women with reproductive problems shouldn't have to compete with them for limited medical resources. Also, I think that 'prolific surgeon' is profoundly naive about what's involved in biologically gestating a baby. Artificial wombs seem more probable than this.

They're still privileged to have the choice whether to get the womb or not. Most women do not have that choice and no doctors to remove their womb/sterilize them legally.

This is a bizarre one. I'm in favour of adults being permitted to do whatever they want with their own bodies, including taking drugs, having surgeries.

However, IMO women should be able to opt out of specific types of organ donation, and if there is a much greater chance of miscarriage (not sure there is, but wouldn't be surprised), i find this a bit distasteful.

Also, Sam Hyde was right again.

Is it even medically feasible?

This is morally repugnant.

This is like in the 1970s, in the wake of the moon-landing, when everyone thought people wold be living on the moon by end of the century. It's science fiction.

So is the landing itself.

Does anyone in that article even care about the baby who is exposed prenatally to anti rejection meds and artificial hormones just to satisfy someone’s desire for an ‘experience’?

No, bc they are sociopaths and misogynists.

Honestly? Fucking go for it. Have fun dealing with possible organ transplant rejection and failure, necrosis, permanent medical reliance, and god forbid if those transplants ever can carry a healthy, functioning baby to term, experience the whole labor and delivery process in its unmedicated glory. It hurts enough going through organs that were actually evolved to accommodate birth. Let women become a separate society where we can do our own shit, since there's now AGP and TW willing to take over those roles for us. We'll leave behind a whole world full of men fucking other men who look like women, and maybe they can finally leave us alone.

You know that breed of bulldog that's only able to procreate because of human intervention, otherwise it'd die because it can't give birth without a cesarean? That but worse. And those are FEMALE bulldogs.
