Mary Shelly had something to say about this back in 1818

The presentation on “Fertility in the LGBTQIA+ community” was unearthed this week and circulated on Twitter. The speaker, Alicyn Simpson, who is transgender, is a “community navigator” for a youth gender program at the University of Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital, according to Fox News.
“One area that had not been looked at before in any serious way was, could the donors be live donors?" Simpson said while discussing a slide detailing a “uterine transplant.” Simpson noted that previous discussions about the topic involved “cadaver-based” donors.
“Live donation has been something the [transgender] community has talked about for decades, it was really thought about as magical thinking,” Simpson added. “This would be a live donation from a person who is assigned female at birth but identified as a transgender man. They say, ‘I have these parts. I don’t want them. You want them. You need them. So, what if I gave them to you?’”
Simpson, who transitioned 30 years ago, claimed that this type of operation would be “viable” and that “one of the main reasons I do the work that I do, is the desire to push us in that direction.” This, along with surgeries like a “vaginal transplant.” Simpson is reportedly involved in the hospital's Gender and Sexual Development Program targeted at children.
I get it: she’s not a doctor, nor, presumably, is she speaking for her hospital’s administration, but as we’ve seen, some of the most idiotic ideas — did you hear about the one about shutting down the entire world to stop a bug, or entirely deindustrializing civilization to make the north pole safe for polar bears? — become acceptable over time. Who in 2012, for instance, would have thought that childrens hospitals would be performing hysterectomies, mastectomies, and castrations on pre-teens in the year 2022?
