AMA Journal: Subsidize Uterus Transplants for Trans People

The medical establishment has gone totally around the woke bend. Now, a peer-reviewed advocacy article in the AMA Journal of Ethics argues that the cost of uterus transplants for trans people should often be subsidized, particularly for “transwomen who want to gestate children.” From, “Should Uterus Transplantation for Transwomen and Transmen be Subsidized?” (My emphasis):

Even though there has been no uterus transplant to date in transwomen [males] that we know of, some clinicians have maintained that there are no absolute barriers in anatomy, hormones, and obstetric considerations that would rule out the possibility of successful UTx [uterine transplant] in transwomen. Transwomen wanting to gestate children can plausibly justify subsidy of UTx on a number of grounds. . . . Transwomen lack a trait (the ability to bear children) that may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being. The lack of a uterus also closes off the prospect of gestating a child in a way that is available to women as a class. It follows that lack of a uterus is an obstacle to full participation in the social goods attached to women’s identity.

Ow, my head! The prospect of enabling such utter solipsism is more than I can stand. Why should society be required to support — much less subsidize — sophisticated surgeries and aftercare to enable the emotional obsessions of a male who feels female? No: Childbearing is not “attached to a women’s identity.” It is the biological reproductive function of women. Such opinions could make a Salvador Dalí painting look realistic.

“experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being.”

Exactly why they’re in their
present state of mind. No
surgical procedure can cure a
mental illness.
These people suffer from extreme
mental deficiencies and rely
on medical practices to ease
their anxieties, instead of
the proper persuance for help.

No; now go and get some psychiatric help.

uh...no! Just...NO!

Yep. The medical industry has gone from “First do no harm” to Dr. Mengele.

Why not do hip replacement surgery, too? The hips in a female (normal females, not mentally ill males) are different. What about mentally ill females, who wants to be males? Should there be testes transplant, too?

The AMA another woke organization.

It’s interesti g how they can do this for men, but they couldn’t do it for women.
