Instead of penis enlargement, can they just do penis replacement with a transgenic cock? (Asking for a friend)
Heck yeah sign me up for a big floppy rhino dick.
I donât know how woman do it. I swear every female friend of mine right now has some kind of cyst or similar issue.
If I understand the article correctly, the problem is not transplantations for certain kinds of women, but whether their medical history requires a kind of preparatory gender affirming care to make their internal micro environment suitable for gestation. Optimizing fertility treatments for women with trans medical obstacles is the thing they think is going to take another ten to twenty years.
Which, I hope, in due time will be referred to simply as reproductive or fertility obstacles without requiring a trans label. A lot of men can give birth. A lot of women canât. Non binary people can give birth. Others canât. Which people who can get pregnant are men? Women? Or something else? We donât know until we talk to them.
The label of âtransâ itself is so wide that saying âI am transâ in a medical context requires a lot more explanation. Otherwise we just end up forcing people into the same binary assumptions that have led to the mutilation and torture of countless intersex and trans people forced into one slot or the other as soon as they were born.

Intersex Media Representation From Around The World

- Being Impossible
Being Impossible (FlixLatino)
A young woman discovers she was submitted to several surgeries to correct her intersexual body as a baby. She has to find her own self outside gender binaries.
Longer description
Summary
For Ariel, something doesnât feel quite right. As she has her first sexual experiences with a penis-having partner, she finds that intercourse is often painful and that it offers little in the way of fun or fulfillment. Repeated visits to her OB/GYN yield little satisfaction until one day the doctor lets fly that Ariel may have had a surgery early in life to âcorrect a problem.â
Upon hearing this news, she confronts her bedridden mother and finds out the truth of her past and a life-altering decision her mother and her doctors made before Ariel was able to speak for herself. Now she must decide whether to continue to live as she has, facing the world as a young woman (which sadly has its own burdens), or facing the societal consequences of living a life openly non-binary.

Both (Vimeo)
When Rebeca receives an unexpected package from an aunt, her neatly wrapped life begins to unravel. The package contains a photo album of her family in Peru, including pictures of her brother, who died before Rebeca could know him.
The photos set off memories that cannot be silencedâŚ[and] a truth about herself that shakes her to the core: the brother she was always told about was, in fact, herself. A compelling and skillful telling of a necessary story, BOTH is based on the experiences of the filmmaker as well as those of many other intersex adults.

Vaguely related.
I was thinking about some of the recent posts. Youâre completely right. How the fuck is there not a decent pain killer/symptom drug for periods.
Like. This shit would make trillions, but somehow they havenât bothered?
What the fuck.
Its called marijuana
Okay trying againâŚ
Alicia Weigel from the documentary was in a viral video in which she sat down with Steven Crowder and eventually just gives up and walks away lol

This is a bit different from uterus transplants. The researchers who figure that out are likely not going to get rich.
What youâre referring to has a more likely pathway to getting rich, so there is no doubt that serious effort has been put into it. People will set aside a lot of things, including misogyny, for giant piles of cash.
You would think so. But the data suggests otherwise.
Treatments for cramps don't cut it. Why aren't there better options?.
While this article paints a more nuanced picture. The fact that itâs frequently men making decisions about womenâs health has certainly played a part.

There is a lot to unpack in that article, but main problem is that the research that is described in that article does not meet the condition that you set forth yourself. As you may recall it was:
None of the types of research described seems like it would result in the researchers involved making a lot of money. The pathway to that is most likely some completely new drug. And that is hard because, as the article describes, itâs legitimately a tough problem.
But there are lots of tough problems that have been solved. Often after decades of research funded by governments and non-profits.

Youâre making two different arguments. If youâre saying that governments, etc arenât funding research into this because theyâre a bunch of men who donât give a fuck. I think there is probably something to that.
If youâre saying that there is some pharmabro at Pfizer who is blocking or avoiding research into a drug that is going to make menstrual cramps a thing of the past because he is a misogynist, then I think you are deluded and you seriously underestimate how much people like money.
They are both misogyny. You see that, right?

Yeah, but that wasnât the point that I was responding to. You see that, right?
I kind of feel the burden to explain is on you.
You opened this saying that of course people have put loads of effort into this, based on the fact that you thought about it for a minute.
The data suggests that statement is incorrect.
I.e. that period pain research is underfunded and under prioritised throughout the development chain.
So. Thereâs something to explain here. As Iâve said, I think itâs complicated, with misogyny of varying degrees contributing in various ways.
People are motivated to work on and think about problems that they are understand and empathise with. Men will understand and empathise with different things.
So no, I donât think someone is saying âwow. This could make millions but nah, cos fuck womenâ but I do think that lots of people are probably underestimating the size of the prize and making choices in aggragate based on that.
