I Want a Womb?

A leading British surgeon has called for Transgender  women to be entitled to womb transplants so they can have their own babies.

 

Sadly Im to old to really be a Mother. I Fathered my children and belive i did a good job. Considering how they accepted my Gender dysphoria and we still enjoy each others company no diffrent to how they did before my diagnosis. I still love them with all my heart.

 

Would you have a womb transplant should it become avaliable?

 

I may have said im to old but if if this was 30 years ago i would have jumped at the chance to bear my own children. Being a Mother would be the part of my life that sadly i  have never had in my time but the future for many others is still unwritten

 

My one big concern with this is the criteiria for such a transplant. Would it be avaliable to all who do not identify as male or just to those who have the nerological and biological condition of gender dysphoria? I ask this question as the ethical implications dont bare thinking about. We are at the end of the day talking about the creation of life

 

Would you?

Very interesting question.  I myself at 40 would pass and opt for adoption. I did want more kids, I have one wonderful son.

This is such an interesting possibility.  I am also well past childbearing age but the possibility made me consider how i would feel if younger in a society that is increasingly accepting.  It would be lovely if this was a possible alternative for those who want children.  It certainly pulls at the definitions of gender and sex.  I'm curious to watch how the possibilities develop.

I lived it vicariously through my soul mate, I envied her body, I wanted her parts, I went to birthing classes with her, all these expectant mothers there, it was awesome. Today I am 60, and glad to be over the child rearing years honestly, it was hard enough raising 2 daughters. Parenting is a long road, that never ends. I sometimes dream of what it would have been like to carry a child inside me, it's an awesome thought, I hope that it becomes possible for those that desire such things, I believe it's only a matter of time before it's medically safe and widely available. Perhaps in another life I may experience such things. 

 

Thanks for posting this topic dear

I know what you mean Cyndee. Many women I talked with never understood why I would want the plumbing that caused periods. but I wanted it all. I did not want to be different from a natural woman. I too wanted a womb and uterus and eggs. All of it. I wanted to give birth. However, like you, my childbearing/raising days are long gone and I just want to be complete.

With love, LouiseRose

My child bearing years are also past; however, I would jump at the chance to have all the correct female parts.  I few years ago I read about a researcher at Duke University who is, in the early phases, or creating replacement organs for people.This could really revolutionize the transplant business, instead of finding someone a kidney the doctors would grow them a new one and implant it.  It makes me wonder if they could eventually grow someone the correct sex organs.  It makes me wonder what future GCS would be like?  You would enter with all the male parts and leave with ALL the females parts.  Maybe on dilation because a natal vagina does not require dilation.  No HRT required because the ovaries would make it naturally.  I think in someways it sounds like a science fiction story, but I be in the next 10 to 20 years we will be moving that way.

I have dreamt of having a large family for most of my life - for me the dream was never about being in the hospital giving birth, but afterwards - helping to raise them day to day, feeding, changing, cuddling, watching them reach for their dreams, being there when they needed someone to cry on or to help them through feeling sick, holidays at the seaside, laughing and supporting them into being their own people. I am still regularly amazed that I am living that dream - mine were never breastfed so I have literally done every part of childcare that is traditionally ascribed to the "mum" or the "dad" and I call it parenting very deliberately, even though they call me dad or daddy (sometimes my daughter calls me Deedeeor mummy by mistake which melts my heart) - my fear is that because they already have a mum, at 10 and 11 they are easily influenced by the adults around them and may not accept me if others decide not to - equally I know that I would prefer to tell them if I could so that they could share in my questions.. 

 

I know that if things had been different even if it wasn't a part of transitioning I would have accepted a womb in a heartbeat if it would have meant less stress or risk to my partners or childrens health.

 

As it was we had agreed to adopt if children were not in the cards.  JaneShannon is right in that the medical profession is heading towards some interesting discussions in the future.

I have vestigial ovaries and uterus. I wonder if after GRS they might be able to turn them on?

 

Oddly... When my hips were replaced, Dr Kilgore made my hips wider. He was the one that pointed out and questioned the "foreign to male anatomy" vestigial organs in my body. 

 

Hmmm... Reminds me of that Schwarzenegger movie "Twins"

ROFLMAO???

Would I have a womb transplant?  Well, I am in pretty good health for someone my age, but I doubt anyone would consider me a candidate for such a major surgery.  Now if I was 20 or 30 years old, felt like I do today and have the opportunity to become a complete female, I would do it.

I would have a womb transplant in a heartbeat.

id love to have all of the female parts, uterus, womb, ovaries, cervix etc.

I’d love the sensation of having a period, I feel it would complete me into a real woman. 

 

First things first though, gender reassignment surgery......getting a vagina and cliteris will be a massive step and one I am totally ready for x

      So many things become easier when you finally turn that corner and see "you" in the mirror. Shedding the guilt, the fear, the questioning becomes possible - as does self-love - when that person looking back at you, irrespective of what you're wearing, is the real you.   I am so happy for you!! Enjoy the journey and where it leads you.

      I'm sure even the most transphobic parents would, too. What does it hurt if a child socializes outside of their family in a way that allows them to understand themselves better? I have encountered a handful of kids do the binary, non-binary, back to binary route and they got to learn about themselves. In the end, there may have been some social self-harm but kids are so darned accepting these days. And really, schools aren't policing pronouns, but the laws that are coming out are making them do so--and in turn requiring a report to a parent that may cause some form of harm to the child.   If the kid wants to lie to, or keep secrets from, their parents about their gender expressions, what does it say about the parents? Perhaps a little socialization of their thoughts will give them the personal information to have those conversations with them? So when they do want to have that conversation they can do so with some self-awareness. This isn't a parent's rights issue, it's about forcing a "moral code" onto schools that they must now enforce--in a way that doesn't appreciably assist parents or provide benefit to children.   So, a child that transitioned at 5 and now in middle/high school that is by all rights female must now go into a bathroom full of dudes? What about trans men, how will the be treated in the girl's restroom? I see a lot of fantasy predator fearmongering in this kind of comment. All a trans kid wants to do in a bathroom is to handle their bodily functions in peace. Ideally there would be no gendered restrooms or, at least, a valid option for people to choose a non-gendered restroom. However, where is the actual harm happening? A trans girl in a boy's room is going experience more harm than a girl being uncomfortable about a trans girl going into and out of a stall.   How about we teach our children that trans people aren't predators who are trying to game the system to eek out some sexual deviancy via loophole? How about we treat gender in a way that doesn't enforce the idea that girls are prey and boys are  predators? How about we teach them trans kids are just kids who want to get on with their day like everyone else?

      It is sad that we can't have more open and honest dialogue on these types of topics because there is worthy debate for sure. But instead we have become a country where the only goal is to seize political power and then legislate our particular agenda and views of morality.   Remember as you read my thoughts below, that I am transgender. OK? I am pro-trans. I am trans.   But my middle school aged daughter would be extremely uncomfortable using a school bathroom also used by a biological male, as would nearly all of her friends. That side has to be considered. It's not invalidating to a trans youth's experience to take that into account and hash out what is for the common good of as many people as possible. This is reality - one person's gender expression makes others uncomfortable, in all directions. And there is disagreement on the best way to handle these types of things.   Why can't we talk about these things openly, without the inevitable name-calling that follows, and let all sides have their input and work up suitable solutions? (I bet the kids, if left alone, would work up the best solutions)... Instead, we go straight to trying to pass laws, as if we need more of those!   And why wouldn't we want parents to know if their child has decided to change their pronouns? That's a big deal and parents are right to raise that as a concern. I certainly would want to know. Not that we need to legislate this, but I would have a hard time with school administrators who try to hide this from me. They are out of line. This is my child. Whether you like my viewpoints or not, I am the parent. Not the school.    Again, I am pro-trans. I am trans. At the same point, I recognize that validating a transgender individual's gender identity doesn't trump everything else in society. And sometimes I see that creeping into these discussions. Plus, we fight a losing battle if we have to have others' validation. We are never going to get it from everybody. Ever. Not even Jesus got it and He is God himself!   This country can be very beautiful as we each exercise our freedom to be who we are and let others do the same. But my freedom ends where yours begins and vice-versa. That requires self-sacrifice. Sometimes we have to fall back out of respect for others. Sometimes we have to let the parent be the parent even if we disagree with their politics.   My cry in the wilderness is just can we please have more open, honest dialogue where both sides try take the other's views into consideration and quit automatically going the legislative route to criminalize the other side's viewpoints.   Sorry for the rant but sometimes all of this wears me out... deep sigh...

      Yesterday when I put that shirt on I saw a woman looking back out of the mirror at me.  Usually I have looked and been very frustrated because I see a man where there should be a woman.  I was expecting to see a man wearing a woman's shirt, but it was a woman wearing a woman's shirt.   On the spectrum between intersex and trans, I am more thinking I am a lot more intersex than trans, and it is only a matter of time before my wife says "you need a bra" and then "you look like a woman!" She told me whatever I want to do is fine with her, she loves me no matter what, and I am thinking that there may be a lot more for her in this than she could possibly expect. I'm not pushing it with her.

      We have been asked to post this study.   I'm an undergraduate university student in my third year completing a BSc in Anthropology. I'm working on my dissertation, looking at languages with grammatical gender (e.g. languages like Italian and Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine). I'm curious if this affects/bothers people with gender identities outside the typical binary of male and female, like non-binary or transgender identities. Using this forum, I would be very grateful if anyone could answer the 5 questions I have put together in a Google form, they are open-ended questions, and you can be as brief or detailed as you want/comfortable with! All responses will also be kept anonymous. As you can probably guess, I came to online forums because finding participants in person is difficult. Talking about gender identities, I understand, can be very personal, so this online anonymised format can be safer. :) If anyone is also particularly interested in this topic, it would be awesome to message one-on-one and do the Google form survey. Having one and one interviews would also be good research! But NONE of this is compulsory, and only if anyone is interested and doesn't mind helping me out and can do so.

      @Mia MarieI found this    Here are critical resources to help transgender seniors face the challenges of growing older - LGBTQ Nation   As far as financial aid I came up empty. :( I'm sorry. I can only imagine what you are going through.

      @Adrianna Daniellecongratulations to you and your boyfriend! Hopefully a future wedding in the future!   @WillowI'm sorry about that he passed away. He sounded like a role model that others should follow.   @MmindyI'm sorry about your head cold! Hopefully it won't last too long and hope for good rest and recovery.

      I see more and more postings with what the LGBTQ support organizations are doing and I see less and less about helping the older generation of us. All I really see is them wanting to help transgender youths and no matter how many times I ask for help, they tell me they can't help or they tell me the office I contacted only works with the youth only. Is there an organization that helps older transgender people? All I find when I do a search turns out with nothing more than talking about trans youths. I feel as though us older trasn folks are being left out. I applied for financial help in a form of a grant, twice, and was turned down with no explanations of why. They did ask me to help go over applications which told me I was automatically denied. Really doesn't seem fair, does it?

      Require students to use bathrooms that align with the gender they were assigned at birth Prohibit transgender girls in seventh grade or older from participating in girls sports or other girls-only activities  Ban gender-affirming health care — including surgery or hormone treatment — for transgender students under age 18, even if parents consent or the treatment is recommended by a doctor Require schools to notify parents if students change their pronouns or otherwise signal they identify as a gender other than what’s on their official student records Doesn't look like it "protects" anybody.  It actually is about restricting trans kids rights.   The ways politicians name their bills etc. is a farce.  Most of the time they do the opposite of what they're called.
