Hi everyone, sorry it has been awhile since I came by to give an update. I wanted to give you all an update on the latest advances in fertility options for LGBT couples. I think these are worth discussing. LGB options to have genetically related children for gay parentsSpermatogenesis/oogenesis IVG (In vitro gametogenesis) cloning technology, cell engineeringhttps://youtu.be/HW-aygjNU1Qhttps://www.mdpi.com/2673-3897/4/3/20Progress in uterine and ovarian tissue transplantation for transwomenhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6492192/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40565010/Advances and challenges for Transmen regarding engineering testicular, phallic tissue and Metoidioplastyhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-025-01141-3https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10060902/
Bumping for posterity and to drown out demoralization bullshit
I'm a permaboymoder and I can't ever imagine giving birth lmao it would be so grossSperm freezing and surrogate or artificial wombs for me
Bump for things actually relevant. If my kids can give birth with a healthy implanted uterus I know the world is getting better.
>>41496561There is something for everyone on the horizon
>>41496576I appreciate it.

>>41496229And who is going to pay for it? That stuff looks expensive.
>>41497845Transition surgery is covered or subsidized by some nations and businesses. It still costs money just like the current surgery, the point is better results will exist in the near future.
>>41497887>Transition surgery is covered or subsidized by some nations and businessesHopefully this will stop. Resources are limited and these treatments are intended for people who actually need them. Like sterile or disfigured people.
>>41497912The data one would get from these would benefit those people too. Its not either or. You can have both. Its a small percentage of the population either way. But something tells me that wont stop you from seething about it since it clearly lives rent free in your head what other people do with their lives.
>>41497936You can do whatever you want with your life. But you are not entitled to other people's money.
>>41497994If people want quality research then yes we are entitled to their money. You wanna go live somewhere with no actual medical labs or research like a primitive, be my guest. Enjoy dying of preventable causes.
>>41496684You call yourself a scientist but you are anything but. There will NEVER be a solution to have your own genetic kids ‘the other way’. At best you may become a surrogate mother to someone else’s kids. Which I don’t want, and idk who wants. Sex chromosomes are literally the only way to produce your half of the pie and you just can’t change them. Everything else is a retarded fucking cope and I’m tired of being gaslit that some people are in the background working to change reality. It will never happen. I don’t want to be someone’s surrogate I want my own goddamn kids from eggs I will never create. Fuck this non gay world
>>41498038Im a cis man. Whether you like it or not engineering a dick for an AFAB is not that different than engineering a dick for a soldier who got castrated in battle by a russian. Just because you wanna be a huge crybaby about this truth doesnt stop anything, let alone the march of progress. >from eggs i wil never createIvG already exists. Skill issue
>>41498071this had nothing to do with what I said kys retard tourist faggot. I want EGGS with my DNA fuck off
>>41498075It is made with your DNA. In-vitro gametogenesis is already being offered as a service. Sorry you suck at reading comprehension but try slowing down and reading my sources carefully. though maybe you shouldnt have kids if you act like this.
>>41498010Wrong. Private institutions do the research. Our money go to taxes funding public healthcare. That money should go to people in need. Not people in want.
Really cool stuff, hope to see it available soon. Things like this make me wonder about what the social implications will be, will cishet-normativity be able to handle this both in the short & long term since queer people will have "traditional" family networks. I know it's change for the better but how much will things change?Also, I know this is unrelated but do you have access to any research on triggering endogenous (wanted) hormone protection in trans people? It doesn't need to be stuff about organ development/implants, it can be anything.
>>41498096okay retard, find one example where it produced a healthy baby. the fucking rats they do this with always die within a week because they’re missing genes necessary for survival.
>>41498128You clearly arent qualified or aware enough to comment on this subject. Some of it is private, some of it is publicly funded. Different labs around the world specialize in different research focuses.
>>41498075What is with you losers and never reading, I swear your insecurities get triggered and you start screeching. If all goes well, you'll be able to have bio kids one day but not before a LOT of therapy to deal with... this, now stop yelling
>>41498160This is false, the tests in Japan literally had them develop to maturity and have kids of their own
>>41498128>>41498166Why are you entertaining this Dumbo, you're right we dgaf now keep crying. Crabs in a bucket all of you, you're not pulling anyone down with you.
>>41498160We arent allowed to make babies with it yet because of red tape. But it has been done with human embryos alreadyhttps://www.npr.org/2025/09/30/nx-s1-5553322/ivg-human-eggs-cells-fertility
>>41498166Show me the public funded research for what you mentioned in the OP.
>>41498186Im not aware of kids yet being born but japanese researchers did develop embryos to the stage they would be implanted. I may be wrong though. From my source: "The scientists then fertilized the eggs with sperm to see if they could develop into embryos. And it appears to have worked, at least in a small number of tries, the researchers report. Nine percent of the resulting embryos developed to the blastocyst stage, which is when embryos would be transferred into a woman's womb, the researchers reported."
>>41498235You want me to conduct meta-analysis research for you on funding sources for this specific line of research? Can you pay me a consultant fee? If not fuck off, i dont do charity work for clownish ingrates.
>>41498236Oh I'm referring to mice tests, according to the papers they used a different method to develop the sex cells
>>41498147*Endogenous Production
>>41498265You make claims but you get defensive when you have to back them up. You're nothing but fairytales.
>>41498292Mad huh
>>41498267Well there are trials underway in Australia for a new IVF-related technique called In Vitro Maturation (IVM) that uses stem-cell-derived ovarian support cells to mature eggs in a lab, which differs from the traditional IVF process of using hormone injections to mature eggs inside the body. Its not quite the same as a full IVG process but its quite similarhttps://www.ccrmivf.com/blog/in-vitro-maturation-pcos/#:~:text=In%20IVM%2C%20there%20is%20no%20trigger%20shot%2C,see%20which%20fertilized%20oocytes%20develop%20into%20blastocysts.
>>41498292Im not defensive, you are just boorish and ill mannered that you dont deserve my expertise. Dont waste my time because you are broke and offer nothing.
>>41498312To their credit, embryo research is heavily restricted in the US so its easy to believe its not happening especially if you are a laymen. And while you didnt hear this from me there are labs on cruise ships in inyernational waters that specialize in this kind of work with cloning dead children of rich people and the like. I wouldnt be surprised if someone is doing the research in a clandestine lab but this is purely speculation and I wouldnt dare implicate anyone who is performing innovative but ultimately semi-illegal research
>>41496229What are the chances of IVG or IVG-lite (donor egg cell with chromosomes replaced with chromosomes from my own skin cell) being available in the next 10-15 years? My fiance and I really want to have one or two kids of our own together...
>>41498509Well the technology and research would be straightforward and the theory is well established. Its really the ethics and the religious hangups since US bioethicists will scream "Gattaca bad" anytime someone tries to make any advances or innovations in the field. Frankly i think China will surpass us in this technology faater. Current predictions say 10-20 years before the US will allow the research or trials to start with humans but thats if everything goes smoothly.
>>41498509If you prefer not to risk going to a communist country and/or the black market, then Japan is probably your best bet. Regulators are allowing the research to proceed. But it has to be done quietly since it will be controversial even if all the kinks are worked out.https://www.statnews.com/2025/08/13/japan-human-embryos-stem-cells-controversy-ethics/#
>>41498565>>41498601I wonder if stuff like this will finally be the nail in the coffin for religious nuts? Probably not, since they've overstayed their welcome for a while. >Essential medical care for LGBTQ people takes off and is revolutionised by Asian countryThe nature of humanity is that every once in a while, someone reinvents the Suporn clinic
>>41498673Honestly i expect them to fight this. But they are more focused on abortion and enabling faacist pedophiles, most people who would hate this are too Ignorant about biology to know what bioethicists are whining about. Bottom line is the preliminary research doesnt need to be conducted in the US or even in English. Once the successful data exists it can be reproduced and refined anywhere else. All that matters is ensuring its done right so the baby is healthy.
