    A part of me is curious if something like that (uterus transplant to a trans person) is possible, the other part of me fears that people like anons boy girlfriend would get one…

      A doctor involved in some of the experimental uterus transplants in cis women has written a paper on it and believes the barriers to such a transplant are surmountable. However, good luck getting funding for such a thing in today’s world. We can’t even convince people to not let trans kids die from lack of healthcare. Uterus transplants aren’t even in the same universe as us right now.

        This is indeed correct. The source papers I do have and they’re saved elsewhere. So even if the US government or whatever erased those, they can’t erase facts.

        Uterus transplants have actually already been done and led to successful births. The closest analogy would probably be FtM births, which have succeeded as well.
