I was curious and decided to look up something about transgender women

I wanted to know if it would ever viable for transgender women to carry a baby to term. Surprising I didn't find any flat out no's. What I did find is that it is theoretically possible. Most sources pretty much said that it's a few centuries off from being a reality.

I suppose I would have to ask the transgender women on this site::

Would you have that procedure done if it was available now?

I tried to be as even handed about this as i could and there is no intention to redirect this post to fit any agenda.

Reminds me of the scene in The Life of Brian where Stan declares his wish to have babies:


FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN: I want to be one.
REG: What?
STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
REG: What?!
LORETTA: It's my right as a man.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.
REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA: crying
JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG: What's the point?
FRANCIS: What?
REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

But womb transplants are already a thing between women:

UK's first-ever womb transplant hailed by doctors as 'dawn of new era' in fertility treatment

The recipient's sister, who already has children, donated her womb to her younger sibling, who was born without a uterus.

So perhaps it's possible with the right hormone supplements and no doubt lots of other interventions.

@ninalanyon You kinda went split on this one. Not really sure what to think about it.

That said, we will just have to see how advances in the medical field go. That second part seems like a possible stepping stone.
