Dr Chirstine McGinn, CEO of Papillion Gender Wellness Centre, says she believes every transgender female will opt for the procedure if the costs are covered by insurance.
McGinn, a transgender woman and mother of twins, says to Health 24: "Human drive to be a mother for a woman is a very serious thing. Transgender women are no different".
Lead researcher in the Cleveland Clinic, Andreas Tzakis, says: "Unlike any other transplants, they are 'ephemeral'. They are not intended to last for the duration of the recipient's life, but will be maintained for only as long as is necessary to produce one or two children."
And as for men accepting transplants in the future?
Chung believes it will be possible with future medical research. The most important factor is creating the natural support systems for pregnancy.
“Of course men have none of these support systems – naturally – but none are impossible to create. Male and female anatomy is not that different,” says Chung. “Probably at some point, somebody will figure out how to make that work.”Explore more on these topics:
