Womb Transplants for Transgendered Men on the Horizon


So once a man decides he really is a woman except for the accident of being outfitted with the wrong body parts, what’s next? Just live with an intolerable situation?

Gender reassignment surgery has been around for a while. Taking hormones and going through voice retraining are options as well. But you’re really not a woman without a womb, right?

Get ready. It looks like our friends in England are about to solve this problem.

It is believed that medical funding and advances will make the procedure possible within a decade, after pioneering operations at the University of Gothenburg on womb-less women have seen at least five children born as a result of a procedure similar to the one doctors are working towards.

Prompted by the Swedish team’s success, activists demanded the NHS make womb transplants available to male-born transgender people, a call doctors and fertility experts told the Mail on Sunday that they back.

Is there no limit to where this trend is going? What is the end-point, or is there one?

Consultant Gynaecologist Dr. Arianna D’Angelo, of the NHS’s Wales Fertility Institute, said it was right from an “ethical point of view”.

She said: “We already have fertility preservation for transgender people, to give them the possibility to have their own genetic child.

“So I don’t see much of a difference between that and actually delivering their own child.”

And some of us don’t see much difference between this and absolute lunacy. Happily there are voices in England who would agree.

Women’s campaigner and co-editor of the Conservative Woman Laura Perrins slammed the notion of NHS-funded womb transplants for transgender people, asserting that it “will impinge on the meaning of motherhood and womanhood”.

“Most taxpayers will not think this is a good use of resources. It raises profound ethical and moral issues that will have an impact on women’s rights,” she added.

Perrins talks good sense here. Our friends who support surgically inserting wombs into transgendered men are not in rebellion against convention, but against nature.

All too soon we will open one of these new boxes only to discover that we’ve turned loose something very ugly that perhaps was never before imagined.

Some might argue that we’ve already done so. If that’s the case, the question then becomes one of whether human society is robust enough to survive itself. It was a question we’d prefer never to have had to address.
