This blog is about a topic that I only recently discovered, though an important voice in the dialogue about transgender activism and women’s rights mentioned it earlier this year.

I do not recall how I first stumbled upon this small – but growing – corner of scientific literature. When I first discovered it, it stirred me up so much that I knew I had to write something in response.

I initially thought I’d write a letter to the editor of the journal, but of course academic publishing has myriad constraints and rules. Here in my own corner of the web, I can freely oscillate between emotional reactions, scientific facts, and gut wisdom in my response.

The topic is uterine transplants in males.

Let’s back up.
