I have something to tell you... I'm pregnant

In our lifetime, transwomen should be able to have children.

I can understand your apprehension, and indeed there
are some obstacles to overcome.

(Here is one proposed technique)
The uterus, not the cervix, fallopian tubes or ovaries would
be transplanted as indicated by the illustration.


Ideally a hysterectomy performed on a close relative would
provide a viable uterus, ie, one that would be less likely to
be rejected.

Further, the transplanted uterus would only be in place long
enough for the pregnancy to complete, and then would be
removed, so that the women would not have to remain on
drugs to prevent her body from rejecting the transplant.

Also note, the arteries supporting the blood flow, thus negating
the circulatory concerns you put forth.

By the way IVF stands for, in vitro fertilization. A method of
assisted reproduction that involves combining an egg with
sperm in a laboratory dish. If the egg fertilizes and begins cell
division, the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman's
+ uterus where it will hopefully implant in the uterine lining and
further develop. IVF may be performed in conjunction with
medications that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs
in order to increase the chances of successful fertilization and implantation.

At the current level of reproductive science, a transsexual woman,
would not be able to be impregnated in the conventional manner,
but rather would have to go this route.

Why, I can almost hear the pitter-patter, of little 'peggys' and little 'denzel's' feet.

Now, if we could only do something about the 'poopy diapers' and
his or her college tuition, we will be half way home

Wow.

Don't worry, none of you is the Father.

And we will not end up on the Maury Povich show,
in a tacky episode of 'that baby ain't mine, or 'who's
the baby daddy'

I want proof, baby! :P

I´ve read half of the text.... super-question: is it still science-fiction or is there already a possible future where someone´s gotta pay maintanence?

If you´re the one with that dream, Peggy, I´m sure it will come true.

It appears that it may be a reality very shortly.

As for me with child, I think not, I am rather long in the tooth now.

Perhaps in another lifetime.

Hey, I wouldn't mind trying one for the record books!

Wow...This is certainly eye opening.

But it raises a few other questions. Without trying to be insulting, a male body is stronger than a female body, so it may not be impossible for a 50 or even a 60 year old mtf transsexual to "deliver" a baby.

I didn't read the whole damn thing so I chose my words carefully.

Delivering it isn't so much the problem, but rather taking
care if it for the next 18 years.

And yes, women at my age do have children, but I am not
sure I am up for chasing a little 'crumb snatcher' around,
single parent, etc.

Might have been a thought a few years back, and not totally
out of the realm of possibility for me now, but kinda towards
the 'outer limits'.

On a serious, but somber note, the thought of no children,
or grandchildren to pass a legacy unto, or have visit you in
the 'old folks' home kinda tugs at your heart

Makes one think.
