A woman who was born without a womb has described current fertility treatment guidelines as "full of inequality and discrimination" after she was unable to have her eggs frozen through the NHS.

No, it sounds like an actual woman who was born without a womb due to a congenital defect, not a man pretending to be a woman.

She expected egg collection and storage (frozen)...the NHS apparently provides this service for female chemo patients and for other conditions, just not her condition.

Probably best to read the article before commenting (against FR “tradition” I know). ;-)

“MRKH” syndrome:

I understand her desire to have her own biological children. But since her disease appears to be genetic (see link) in nature I would have reservations about using PUBLIC money to support her reproduction. Just IMHO, OF COURSE.

Nope. This is a born female who has ovaries so she can release eggs, what she does not have is a uterus.
