A new surgery could allow transgender women to become
pregnant.A clinic in Ohio recently started screening women for the
ground-breaking procedure, which would allow women to transplant their uterus
into a woman who doesn’t have one.
The transplant could be conducted on a woman ‘born
without a uterus, or who had it removed or have uterine damage’ – this would
make trans women eligible for the procedure.
After the recipient has had a child or children, the
uterus could then be removed, meaning the person would no longer have to take
anti-rejection medication.
The procedure is still in its trail stages, however many
women who were previously unable to become pregnant are hopeful.
A 26-year-old woman who is undergoing the screening
process told The Times: ‘I crave that experience.
‘I want the morning sickness, the backaches, the feet
swelling. I want to feel the baby move. That is something I’ve wanted for as
long as I can remember.’
