Having the luck to live in a gender neutral society and knowing so many tg mtf, I am not so sure that many would consider this option here, and does it make you any more a women. Lets consider the ftm, its easier for us to maybe understand. We were all men once and what defines being male for us? Is it the penis or testies for reproduction or how we percieve ourselves. Is an infertile man still a man? I think so.
I think its how we perceive ourselves and what it takes to perceive ourselves as the gender of our choice. Maybe to be a normal cis female is for many the only solution. Maybe one day all this is possible. But the changes from the time of inception for a female is not just the uterus. The female reproductive system is so complicated that it is beyond our medical capabilities to create medically. Research for this is limited as there are so many life threatening diseases that need and have priority. Cancer, Alzheimer, MS etc. One day this may all be available, the day we are closer to being demigods.
Being female in my view reflects out mind and how we can finally mentally accept and feel comfortable in our desired gender.
This isn't creating anything new, Warlockmaker.. It's just taking a functional organ from one cis woman and putting it in another and we've done it. This really is no more complicated than a heart or liver transplant - at least when donor and recipient are cis women.
This doesn't delve in to the realms of science-fiction until we start talking about using a trans woman as a recipient for the uterus. I suspect we may never get that to work entirely..
