Application On Transgender Women
It may be possible for trans women to receive uteruses in the future. Some concerns regarding genetics, anatomy and hormones addressed below:
- Women with Swyer syndrome have male genetics and lack ovaries, but have a uterus. Similarly to trans women, they need hormone replacement therapy to induce female puberty and maintain female secondary sex characteristics. Such women have had successful pregnancies, though obviously requiring egg donation and IVF.
- In the case of most trans women who began HRT past male puberty, the pelvis has failed to develop femininely and broaden as it would have before or during puberty. However, as proven by Nadya Suleman (octuplets), Lina Medina (youngest mother) and Stacey Herald (smallest mother at 71 cm ), a small pelvis is not an obstacle to gestation, even in extreme cases. Delivery would be via c-section.

“Whiffle [whine and wheeze and snuff and sniffle]: The annoying scratchy sound made by weepy feminists as they lament the sufferings of women and, houndlike, sniff out evidence of male oppression.”
