They just keep coming?!

Yes, the transplants work - there have been 8 successful pregnancies so far.

No, they aren’t excessively dangerous - no one has been harmed or killed.

No, it doesn’t mean the fetus will be half yours. 

Yes, they do take uteri from living donors - the living donor transplants have been much more successful than those using deceased donors.

No, you are not in any danger of having your uterus harvested after your death against your will, even if you are registered a an organ donor.

No, it isn’t “impossible” to transplant organs and tissues between sexes. The sex of the donor is not a barrier to transplant for other organs and tissues and trans men have been able to carry healthy pregnancies to term despite years of HRT.

Read a book and grow up. 

No, “male” pelvic girdles aren’t “too small” or “the wrong shape” for a uterus to fit in. It’s an internal organ about the size of a lemon; as it expands it will grow upwards and outwards, just like in cis women; and no one is expecting a vaginal delivery.

No, they don’t transplant the ovaries or vaginal canal along with the uterus. The embryo is created via IVF and it will not have the donor’s DNA unless they are also the egg donor.

No, a uterus on it’s own isn’t “useless” without a “female” body to magically imbue it with baby-making power.
