So I went on a little search to see if a uterus transplant is even a thing.

It is:

https://www.livescience.com/60873-men-pregnant-uterus-transplant.html

But, highly experimental and only done on women so far and even that is extremely complicated. For male bodies even more so as there is no room at the Inn (so to speak). No space for a uterus to fit into.

Certainly madness. It's a toss up between chilling and totally fucking deluded.

More gibberish.

I'm quite happy to refer to people as the sex they present themselves to me as.

So if you're a boke in a skirt I'm quite happy to refer to you as her/she.

I'll be damned if I'm going to start creating a crowd out of one person.

I have no problem with gender fluid people inventing new pronouns to replace it/it/its, but I think they all need to agree on what they are. I'm buggered if I'm going to start memorising 400 different pronouns, many of which are unpronounceable, just to satisfy some snowflake's ego.

What I find interesting is that the author brings up the fact that a trans woman received a uterus transplant in 1930's Germany and claims it shows it is possible, when the trans woman in question died from the operation. I say 30's because the author claimed it was before "the rise of the Nazis" but misdated it to the 40's. Of course, an alternative explanation is that it really was in the 40's and t was one of those horrific Nazi experiments we hear about.

Or it's all fiction.

So who are you going to vote for? The Greens jumped this particular shark a long time ago, and Labour are sure to go the same way.

In my most recent vote, I spoiled my ballot paper. I wrote a small essay on why but it will have no effect but voting to support anti science and the removal of women's sex based rights and spaces is a step to far for me. So on Tuesday I will be doing some more protesting, and I will.continue to do that. There is obviously the possibiloty that I will get a candidate who agrees but given the death and rape threats women politicians receive on this it's not a likely bet.
