According to the UN, I'm not permitted to clone myself, under pain of exile from earth.

Are you saying you are a Trans-woman only because it was your 'only hope' of dating women? Again, not trying to be offensive.

No, I'm saying I have no chance of reproducing without a cisgender woman as a transwoman. Man X Me =/= babies. Another MtF XMe =/= babies. Only me and a woman can equal babies at this time.


Same for me, a cisgender man. So we're both losing...

Yet somehow, I don't see this happening.

I think the fact that we haven't seen a uterine transplant in a transwoman yet implies its' accepted.


Or it could be that it is rare in general, and that they are still working on ensuring that such an implant would not cause harm to a male recipient (though apparently it has been tried once and failed)....Womb transplants are incredibly rare. It is only in the last 5-10 years that it has actually been considered successful.

But I do disagree with the premice that this means you can't find a woman to have a relationship with. Relationships are about much more than just having children.

Arighty, thank you. I apologize if I offended you (I'm pretty sure I have) and I now think I simply read your orignal post incorrectly.

It's just logistics of having no uterus due to an activated SRY gene in my chromosome. Science won't let transwomen reproduce with each other which would be the most ideal relationship. Thus I have to seek a natal or cisgender woman for any biological reproduction. Thus I sort of oppose this technology knowing my dating value which was already low will decrease to virtually non-existent.

There are seven billion unique humans. Widespread cloning is a pipe dream and very unlikely.

Not to mention that as soon as it gets off the ground as a regular thing even in a minority of the population, there will be pressure for further research and genetic manipulation.
If we're able to fuck around with our genes ourselves, the genetic diversity shit goes right out the window.

The problem is that this time, we're effectively infertile women with no recourse. All we have to offer is love in a relationship, but most relationships also are built on the idea of "Can I picture having children with them?"

There are things like adoption and surrogates. You can still have children.

Doctors in fact can be very stupid, and stupid people with power are always very dangerous.

No. A lot of cis women cannot get pregnant. They still often get married. Plenty of men date and marry women who are transgender. Most people would be just fine with a surrogate or adoption.

Most people aren't dudes with access to Caitlyn Jenner, who's probably one of the few transgender women to afford this shit assuming it goes commercial for quite some time. And if the USA goes the way of Japan you probably won't need to worry about babymaking.
