A surgeon who carried out the UK’s first womb transplant on a cisgender woman has said similar transplants for transgender women are probably about 10 to 20 years away.
In February, Imperial College London professor, James Smith, and his colleague, Isabel Quiroga, from the Oxford Transplant Centre, carried out the womb transplant on a married woman whose 40-year-old sister was willing to donate her own, having already given birth to two children.
The 34-year-old recipient, who lives in England and wishes not to be named, received the transplant during an operation lasting more than nine hours at the Churchill Hospital, in Oxford.
It is hoped that, in the future, womb transplants can be performed on trans women, giving them the chance to have a baby, but Smith said the reality of this is still decades away.
There is currently no “technical feasibility” to perform the operation on trans women due to a difference in the pelvic and vascular anatomy, the shape of the pelvis and issues with the microbiome – the network of micro-organisms that live in the human body, he explained...
Dr Narendra Kaushik, a surgeon in the Indian capital New Dehli, said in May 2022 that transplanting uteruses into trans women is “the future."
Uterine transplants are currently rare, costly and experimental surgeries that typically rely on donor organs. They are often done on people born without a uterus so they can become pregnant and give birth.
The first successful womb transplant took place at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden in 2014. Two years later, the operation was carried successfully once more in the US.
About 50 babies have now been born worldwide as a result of womb transplants.
Kaushik, who has 15 years of experience in gender-affirming surgeries, said: “We cannot predict exactly when this will happen but it will happen soon. We have our plans and we are very optimistic.”

Hello Petty,
Do you honestly think we could have Transplant with Max and Tul? Like, I would LOOOOOVE that, but I guess the chance to see it happen is... Low? 😣 But I would be so happy so see them acting together because the chemistry is insane 🥵
I reside in Optimistic City, so just like I act when Justin Bieber's "Sorry" comes on, I. Am. A. Believer.
Dr. Sammon has always been a catch, but in 2024, we got Dead Friend Forever, 4 Minutes, and the upcoming Spare Me Your Mercy, Petrichor, and Lost on the River from her when previous to this year, we had only four works from her: Manner of Death, Triage, Bite Me, and Make a Wish.
I'm not great at math, but in ONE YEAR, we will have more Dr. Sammon's pieces than we did in the five years prior. Homegirl is a hot commodity and this gives me some hope that companies want to adapt her work because it has an audience, which hopefully translates to guaranteed money.
Also, Max is in Petrichor. MaxTul did the fan meet in Japan and have done some ads together this year even after Tul announced his retirement. So Tul is open to making money off of the MaxTul partnership, but Max is fine with acting against others as well as we've seen in The Outing and Club Sapan Fine and will see in Petrichor. If we ever get Transplant, it'd be odd to have Max but not Tul, but the option is there with Max being willing to act with others (as he should), so Dr. Bun could be recast if Tul really is done with acting.
Or all the characters could just be recast since another company would produce it much like GAP The Series from Idol Factory and Blank The Series from Nine Star Studios are by the same creator set in the same universe with the same characters but two totally different shows with different actors.
Basically, I believe I will get Transplant one day one way or another, but it'd be nice if it were with MaxTul because just like Justin Bieber sang in "Sorry," "I'm missing more than just their bodies!"
#maxtul#transplant WHEN?!#I will carry this hope to my grave#I will get this show one day#Dr. Sammon ain't disasspointed me yet#she knows we are waiting

Okay, so. Something that's bothered me since learning about Ryoko is the eye color difference. Ryoko's eyes are red; Junko's eyes are blue.
One of them is clearly wearing contacts. But who?
The automatic assumption is Junko. Because let's be real, Ryoko would forget to wear whatever contacts Matsuda gave her - and then forget that she WAS wearing them, which wouldn't be great.
Wearing contacts is also an aspect of being a gyaru, so it would make sense for Junko to be wearing them.
But! What's more fun is this!
I debated whether Junko's true eye color should at all be related to Mukuro's. Mukuro's eye color, depending on image, is either gray or the same blue-grey as Junko's, even without contacts. As twins, I thought it would be cool if their eye colors matched. Even if they are fraternal twins.
However.
Mukuro and Junko both fall into the Red Oni, Blue Oni trope, Junko as red and Mukuro as blue. So it would make sense for Junko's natural eye color to reflect that in the same way that Mukuro's does.
So Junko is wearing contacts. The assumption holds. Why does this matter?
Because of all the colors she could choose for the eyes of her Junko Enoshima persona, she stole her sister's.
That's what matters.
#musings#danganronpa#junko enoshima#mukuro ikusaba#bandit brainstorms#so that even when she killed mukuro#whenever she looked in a mirror she would still see her sister's eyes staring right back out at her#and the idea that fuyuhiko with junko's eye - that it could change to red#would be fun#(don't think that's what would actually happen though#and would also depend highly on if it was a full eye transplant or just a cornea transplant)#((this probably comes up in dr3#i should wait until then to post this#nah))

had THEE most embarrassing car owner moment. (I hate being predictable by being fruity gay and not knowing about cars, but they’re just not as enticing to me as eukaryotic life so it’s not on my list of priorities to know, even though I know it would benefit me greatly) my oil light came on and I told my dad and he was like “when did you last change it?” and I was like “um. well I presume when we got it last January it had new oil? 😅 that was 23K miles ago” and he told me later that his heart hurt just reading that (it’s supposed to be every 5K or so, plus my car’s make are notorious for burning thru oil). I thought I would get a reminder before it was on the verge of dead but no. they expect the meat driving the metal to do all the remembering.
tldr if you have a car check the oil regularly and get it changed every 5K miles to avoid catastrophic engine damage
#stamping this for filing under the Stupid moments#now we are at the stage of listening for any signs of damage. my poor little dedicated beast I feel like I got a very kind workhorse who#needed specific supplements to maintain its heart health and I just forgot and now I’m waiting to see if it needs a heart transplant#mac rambles#cars

the fact that we will never see the red flags shidou marked out for us in triage fully realised because of how the voting for t2 turned out agonises me each day. i need them to make me hate that man
#he always lands around the halfway point in my prisoner ranking#but i need to see him at his most deeply unlikeable#what cracks me up with shidou is that im not even against organ donation/asking ppl to consider it when a loved one goes through braindeath#i just cant forgive the fact that he abused his position for personal gain even if he was trying to save a life#because its safe to assume that in prioritising his family he made people who SHOULD have been first on their transplant lists wait longer#potentially dooming them in the process#shidou

girl with the most severe form of kidney disease forgets to adequately hydrate for six hours and starts to feel the Effects
#:)#if i don't drink enough water i start to feel like i'm dying#on account of the specific organs that are damaged i need more water to be adequately hydrated#however watch out! because if i drink too much i throw up. organ failure is a series of many such saw traps#on the upside i think the anemia being treated is finally starting to fix the fatigue#which is nice! i'd say i'm starting to plan my comeback to my Projects#but i still have to go through kidney biopsy 2 the biopsing at some point in the near to intermediate future#so i STILL can't commit to anything until after then#however i'm in a good steady groove with the rest of my medical stuff. enough i can start to map out a schedule finally#hopefully once this surgery is out of the way the rest of the year should be a regular rhythm#of meds/injections/blood tests/consultant appointments until whenever i get approved to go on the transplant waiting list at. some point#wish i knew when anything was but i've almost been sick for a whole year and STILL don't have a diagnosis so i'm not holding out hope!#but if everything holds stable for another month or so i might be in a place to genuinely try working on stuff again#as always grain of salt but things SHOULD be more predictable this year#i mean. i can't have a sudden mystery life threatening illness happen twice lol. it's all uphill! apparently

Uncertainty Verse; Father MacAvoy
Joseph MacAvoy was very young when he thought to become a priest. His mother, of course, had raised him Catholic in the beginning, and his father gave him the choice of continuing. After the death of his mother, his father found faith in the bottle, and Joseph found him in God. Most of his life he spent without a real ideal home once his father became too ill to help himself. He spent a lot of his youth living with family members, and his one constant was the Lord.
There were many times when his faith was tested; he had come close to marrying in his days at university. The woman he had been close to left him for someone better suited for her life than a man of God, as well as the idea of desiring people who did not suit the Catholic faith's image,
It took MacAvoy a few years to be chosen for his studies, and then five years of study in both philosophy and theology. Even before he could work as a deacon in the church before his ordainment.
Father Joseph MacAvoy had been a priest for roughly ten years of his life when his faith began to break down. His father died when he was 35, just five years after he had his first parish. At that point, the priest had a troubling time with his faith. The reality that he was the only child and only son to be able to pass on his family name hit him harder than it should. Being a priest had meant so much to him in his younger days that finally having it all made him feel as if it was all for nothing.
Joseph clung to his parish at the beginning of his descent; he had created a well-enough support group at his church without anyone realizing the truth. It wasn't until he was shifted to Middleburgh that everything became more of a hindrance. He had taken to drinking when he was alone, questioning God's plan for him and his own identity.
When the tournament happened, he was 42 and five years into his worst habits. He had taken up drinking, even at the desire of other people when it called for it. Most of the town looked down on the priest, considering his actions, but none seemed to try and understand why he was as he was. The priest had awakened in the pub on the worst day of his life, when hell itself came to earth. Only to end the day with blood on his hands and a woman's life hanging in the balance.
Three years later, when he believed the worst of his days were behind him, A sober man stood before his church in a state of uncertainty. "As you all know, I am three years sober, and this will be my last year here." He began with a solemn tone of voice. "When it is time to take my leave, I may not go with a place to land, and this is darkening words for me to say. Though I will be leaving to work alongside another, I have a confession." Joseph gripped his blazer with an uneasy thought.
"I do not have a long time left on this earth. It would seem I am ill, and it hurts me to inform you all that I am dying. I do not have a great chance of having a successful recovery considering my condition. I must accept the Lord's good grace and my doctor's words about everything. If a transplant can occur, it will more than likely be further off than I would hope for." The members of the church were shocked but also understanding. It was not easy for the man to stand there and let them know he was not long for the world.
"With this confession, I would like to pray, not for my recovery but for all of your understanding and support over the past few years. It has meant a lot to me."
…and they would pray, and Father MacAvoy would break all over again.

ayyyyyyy I set up an appointment for medication this Friday (telemedicine but whatever) and I get to see my former therapist again later this month. I’m kind of excited. More than kind of. Little sad, but I’m lonely and want to talk to someone. He’s a real cool dude. I’m a little worried to trauma dump the last 6 months on him, but whatever, it beats sitting there for an hour feeling like I’m wasting his time and struggling to think of things to say. dang dang dang, I’m excited.
#I’m excited to tell him about my mom’s transplant. less so to mention all my dark moments since we last spoke.#ok so I gotta wait a week for antidepressants and then a couple of weeks for them to take effect#that’s a lot of waiting#especially with how rough I’ve been these last couple of weeks#I probably have more appointments I should schedule but we’ll see#I’ve only been able to sleep sitting up#like the dang elephantman#something about laying down freaks me out#it’s uncomfortable and not very restful and just thinking about sleep gives me anxiety#brains are fucky#oof… now it’s setting in. I’ve got an appointment but it’s 5 days away#5 days of… this. anxiety and distraction and my sick brain#this is my fault#well… no. yes. I don’t want to COMPLETELY beat myself up for it#I should have been managing my mental health better instead of waiting until I spiraled out#I should have been managing my health better in general!#this isn’t sexy to say but I hate my body. I’ve run it down. and it’s going to be so much harder getting back to something semi healthy#but I’m trying now 😕 so maybe that’ll count for something#I’ve been realizing that I really really miss going to the gym late at night#that’s what I need now. been doing these little drives at night to distract myself but having an actual place to go would be much better#BUT! too expensive. need to work and make some money. not excited for that but I needs it. I neeeeeeds money. for burgers. and distractions#this is too rambly. I’m sorry. I thought about counseling and got too excited to talk and talk#I talk too much#you can ignore this#text

ok but i am literally phos irl bc sometimes you decide to try to solve an issue that has been a constant threat to the lives of those you love and the more you try the more isolated you become and nobody except a small handful of people are willing to even help you and even then you're alone among that group and it always always ALWAYS boils down to EVERYTHING being on your shoulders and deep down at your core you are still a loving person with childlike wonder and amazement at the little things in the world but all of that gets shoved down from how much pressure you're under and sometimes the ones you love even get mad at you and fed up with you when you're just trying to help and you're literally tearing your mind and body apart until you don't know who you are because youre trying SO HARD to help and its taking such a toll on you and not only are you almost never thanked but you're punished for your love and all you ever wanted was to be happy
#like . like . you can tell throughout the story that the little baby phos we first met is still in there#they still come thru in their own way but . under all the trauma and heartache its hard to see#after lapis' head transplant phos was less than 50% phos . but in the end thats the very last piece of them that was left#the last five years have gradually destroyed me and like im still in there but like it will be hard to find !!!!#just gonna suffer alone for thousands of years nbd#that last panel of phos smiling as they are disintegrated by the heat death of the universe . man . i cannot wait to be free of this shit#its gonna kill me ! my efforts to protect my loved ones are going to end up killing me horribly but i cant stop so#hnk spoilers

I have no idea if this is ever going to actually come up in any of my fics, but the College AU High Cloud Quintet energy is literally just the most batshit and cutthroat fencing team drama the school has ever seen and no one talks about it. Everyone KNOWS about it (unless you don't, in which case you find out in the most random way possible). But it's just one of those things you don't talk about
#quoth the raven#hsr#its relevant because the college au plotbunn(ies) is sushang/luocha/dan heng#but it's also not because it's been like 20 years lol#so like sushang's on the fencing team because that's the cloud knights (jing yuan's the coach now)#and dan heng is notably Not for obvious dan feng-related reasons#do i know what the fuck happened? no#is the energy im going for transplant-whos-lived-here-for-a-decade finds out about the local cult while waiting in line at a theme park? ye#anyway im having fun. i broke sushangs ankle for whumpy reasons and shes upset about it :3
