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

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
