it is actually possible tho, through having a womb transplant, for a trans woman to experience pregnancy.

Is it now? I've got a few questions for any surgeon about to attempt such a thing.
Where did this womb come from?
Where in the body are you going to put it?
How ON EARTH is it actually going to function?
Is there already a foetus in there and if so how are you going to feel when it shrivels and dies?

This kind of purely experimental surgery came to an end with the Third Reich{where GRS was invented!] and could not occur in an ethical environment.

Have they done that at all? The best I could find regarding such a process was an attempt at a womb transplant in a woman that had to be removed because of blood clots. Other than that they seem to be keeping such experiments to monkeys and such unless and until it shows promise.

They've succeeded in uterus transplants able to carry a pregnancy in mice. But mice are a long way from humans.

i think thats the thing i found. i dont think theyve attempted a womb transplant on a trans woman yet and i dont see why anyone wud go through the risks to themselves and the baby just to experience pregnancy.

I remember I was sitting on a bus on my way home one day when this thought popped in to my head completely out of the blue, ‘I really want to have a baby’. The emotions that came with that thought were so strong. There’s something beautiful and wonderfully intimate about pregnancy and giving birth to a child. I know it’s completely impossible but if it ever was possible I’d do it.

I've long since blocked the emotions and longing for pregnancy since I know it is futile to think about, and I will have my own genetic child the only way I can, by inseminating my frozen sperm sample.

I wish it were true I would soo much like to have a baby. I think the only way I will be able to though is by freezing my sperm
