The American Medical Association published an article that explores taxpayer-funded uterus transplants as a solution for transgender women — biological males who believe they are female — to help “consolidate” their chosen gender.
AMA Journal of EthicsThe article points to successful uterus transplantation among biological females and concluded that it “suggests that transwomen and some transmen will also likely have interest in this intervention.” However, the article correctly asserts that many taxpayers will not be as willing to subsidize such procedures for biological males.
“Transwomen lack a trait that may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being,” the article states. “Their masculine-typical appearance can elicit harm, threats of harm, and social discrimination. Facial feminization can significantly diminish that adversity,” the article reasons, admitting that a uterus transplant provides no “outward benefit.” Despite that, the article’s authors argue that such a surgery still has the value of gender affirmation.
