thedailymirror--2020-06-29--Transgender woman 'should be allowed womb transplants so they can have babies'

Transgender women should be entitled to womb transplant to enable them to have their own babies , according to a leading British surgeon .
Two years ago a woman in Brazil became the first mother to give birth to her child using a womb transplanted from a deceased donor to a woman .
It was a major breakthrough in fertility medicine when the little girl was born healthy and weighing 5.6lbs .
It comes just four years after the world ’ s first womb transplant baby from a live donor was born in Sweden in 2014 .
Surgeon Christopher Inglefield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , says a successful uterus implant into a trans-female is now achievable .
He says the procedure ‘ essentially identical ’ to that of ‘ cis-women ’ - aka females born in that gender .
Mr Inglefield , a specialist in gender confirmation surgery as well as facial and body feminisation , said : “ This pioneering birth is extremely important for any trans female who would like to carry her own child .
“ Because once the medical community accept this as a treatment for cis-women with uterine infertility , such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would be illegal to deny a trans-female who has completed her transition .
`` There are clearly anatomical boundaries when it comes to trans women but these are problems that I believe can be surmounted and the transplant into a trans-female is essentially identical to that of a cis-female.
” The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority ( HFEA ) confirm there are no regulations in place to prevent a trans woman who has received a uterus transplant from having IVF treatment .
And Mr Inglefield describes how a transplant would work .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ step is the harvesting from the donor as great care is required to avoid damage to the arteries and veins supplying the uterus .
`` The donor vessels are connected to the pelvic artery and veins which are the same in both males and females .
`` With a uterus transplant in a trans-female , the neovaginal would be opened at the pelvic end to accept the donor womb .
`` And the same procedure is used in a cis-female transplant with the donor uterus being attached to the native vagina .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than cis-women of the same height , but there would still be room for them to carry a child .
“ Supplemental hormones could be taken to replicate the changes that occur in the body when a woman is pregnant .
“ Meanwhile it ’ s highly unlikely that a trans female would give birth naturally , but would be delivered via Caesarian section in order to safeguard the child.
” Other experts have also endorsed Mr Inglefield ’ s claims .
In November last year , Dr Richard Paulson , former president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , said there was no anatomical reason why a womb could not be successfully implanted into a transgender woman .
He added : `` You could do it tomorrow .
There would be additional challenges , but I don ’ t see any obvious problem that would preclude it .
`` I personally suspect there are going to be trans women who are going to want to have a uterus and will likely get the transplant.
” Womb transplant surgery is being seen as a major cause for hope for those who suffer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is when a woman fails to develop a proper uterus and vagina yet has normal ovarian functions and normal external genitalia .
Women who have MRKH will still go on to develop breasts and pubic hair , but they will not have a menstrual cycle .
The syndrome is thought to affect around 1 in every 4,500 women .
But Mr Inglefield , who appeared in ITV 's fly-on-the wall documentary Transformation Street , says the demand among trans women could be far greater .
He added : “ According to some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the UK could be as high as 1,000 per 100,000 persons , around 1 per cent of the population .
“ Just looking at the potential number of trans females who might seek uterine transplantation surgery and it ’ s abundantly clear it could become a vital medical service .
“ As it stands , trans women face a tricky pathway to motherhood , which is often achieved through surrogacy , adoption or fostering .
“ But those pathways are not without their own pitfalls and many would-be mothers simply long to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be pregnant in the very real sense .
“ As womb transplant surgery is further improved and perfected , it ’ s vital trans women are not excluded from the conversation , at it could immeasurably improve a great many lives.
” The Gender Recognition Act 2004 says that a trans female can apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate if they wish for their acquired gender to be legally recognised in the UK .
Applicants must go before a panel , documenting any treatments they ’ ve had to change their sexual characteristics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They must have lived in their acquired gender for at least two years if single , or six years if married or in a civil partnership .

`` The law , as it currently stands , does not require the person who is carrying a child to have obtained a GRC stating that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And as stated in the Act the person who carries or has carried a child as a result of an embryo transfer , or artificial insemination , is considered as the mother of the child at birth . ''
The new test case , which has made headlines across the world , saw a 32-year-old woman born without a uterus given one taken from a 45-year-old donor who died from a brain haemorrhage .

Liz Armstrong, head of transplant development at NHS Blood and Transplant, said: “No uterus transplant has yet been carried out in the UK.
"However if it was to go ahead, the donation and transplantation of a uterus would be carried out under the same regulatory framework in the UK as any other organ, whether from a living or deceased donor.
"The new ‘opt out’ law in England, only applies to transplants which are already routinely carried out in this country – specifically heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas and intestinal organs.
"It also covers certain tissue, including corneas, skin, blood vessels, bone, muscle and tendons.
"A uterus transplant would be classed as a novel transplant and would therefore only take place with the explicit permission from the donor or donor’s family.
"People have the option to state which routine organs they wish to donate, when recording an ‘opt in’ decision on NHS Organ Donor Register.
"We would encourage everyone to speak with family and friends so they are clear on what you want to happen in the event of your death."

thedailymirror--2020-06-29--Army testing coronavirus-hit Leicester residents as lockdown could be extended

Soldiers are carrying out coronavirus tests in Leicester as the Government considers keeping the city under lockdown for two more weeks following a spike in cases .
Members of the military are operating a walk-in mobile Covid-19 testing centre at the city 's Spinney Hill Park , as residents are encouraged to get tested if they have symptoms .
Leicester may be the first UK location to be subjected to a local lockdown , which would see the current restrictions in place for two weeks after July 4 to control the coronavirus outbreak .
But not everyone is on board @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of extended restrictions dividing opinion as the country tries to get back on its feet .
`` It was only last Thursday that we finally got some of the data we need but we 're still not getting all of it and it was only at 1.04am that the recommendations for Leicester arrived in my inbox .
`` What they 're suggesting is not a return to lockdown , it seems that what they 're suggesting is that we continue the present level of restriction for a further two weeks beyond July 4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've looked at this report and frankly it 's obviously been cobbled together very hastily .
`` It 's superficial and its description of Leicester is inaccurate and certainly it does not provide us with the information we need if we are to remain restricted for two weeks longer than the rest of the country . ''
But Labour MP for Leicester , Claudia Webbe , believes a local lockdown is necessary for her constituency , where 866 coronavirus cases have been recorded in the past two weeks .
She says there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minority ethnic communities '' and `` significant levels of poverty '' .
Speaking on BBC Breakfast , she said : `` There are significant worries and significant problems in terms of inequalities and high levels of poverty that I 'm concerned about .
`` That is the context in which this Covid-19 is operating in .
`` So I 'm very concerned , and I really do believe that where the data allows we need to ensure that we engage in processes to protect lives , and I think we need to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives and ensure that we can address this virus .
`` The Government has n't reassured us .
Thus far , the messages and the communication from the Government have been unclear , and it has been difficult , and I really do n't understand what communities are meant to follow . ''
Leicester public health director Ivan Browne was also critical about the level of information given to the city to tackle the outbreak .
He told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme : `` Interestingly it 's very much around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ east part of our city .
`` I do n't think at the moment we 're seeing a single cause or a single smoking gun on this so we need really try to dig down and find out what is going on and it 's likely to be a combination of factors .
`` Information has been challenging all the way through this .
`` It has definitely been challenging and I think as director of public health we have really been pushing for some time to ask for as complete a data @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can really effectively start to challenge these things on the ground . ''
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the Government was `` concerned about Leicester '' where there has been a flare-up of coronavirus .
On a visit to a construction site in west London , the Prime Minister said : `` We are concerned about Leicester , we are concerned about any local outbreak .
`` I want to stress to people that we are not out of the woods yet .
We are making these cautious , calibrated steps , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as we can on July 4 , opening as much of the economy as we can - some things , alas , still remain closed until they can become Covid-secure .
`` But to make all that possible we have to remain vigilant . ''
He said the local `` whack-a-mole '' strategy had worked in Weston-super-Mare and where there had been outbreaks around GP surgeries in London .
`` That 's the same approach that we will bring to bear in Leicester as well . ''
