Well, that's where surgery would come into play.

well even still you'd be sterile anyway, you don't have the tubes. The big advantage would be no more need for HRT shots and none of the complicating side effects.

Holy crap, where do I sign up? 

Don't get too happy yet, its more than a few years off, and all new technologies tend to be highly regulated and very expensive at the beginning, and for some time after.  It takes almost a generation for people to get used to them enough for it to open up.

It's better than that - apparently it also works in reverse too - turn FOXL2 on and you get one thing, turn it off and you get the other, although the surgery involved either way would be horrendous!

That's pretty awesome!

This... is shocking and amazing. Ah, I love genetic research sometimes. xD True it would take quite some time for the tech to be approved in humans but it's definitely something that could really be a good option down the road!
