If I died young with a functional uterus and ovaries, I'd gladly donate them to another woman, along with the rest of my organs. But the idea that in a transland utopia my uterus would end up in a TIM so they could live a fetish and become a terrible parent makes me sick.

I read about it and apparently the donor needs to be alive.

(Or transplant is much more successful if the donor is alive)

I didn't know that. Now I can die and donate my organs knowing that my uterus will not serve a man's fetish.

I believe one instance of a uterine transplant and successful pregnancy, was from a mother donating her uterus to her daughter. (And they still had to remove the uterus after the birth).

From what I know about blood donation. Males are unable to accept blood donations from females who have been pregnant. There is a higher risk of men dying from the blood donation. Pregnancy changes a woman’s circulating antibodies, as well as other characteristics of her immune system. I am not sure if this also applies with organ donation.

yes, everywhere I read about it, it says that after the pregnancy, the uterus needs to be removed, and everyday while it's not, you need to take anti-organ-rejection medication.

The blood donation is a good point. But more importantly, I'm not sure that a male body can hold an uterus, especially a functioning one. You can hypothetically insert an IVF embryo and plan to have a C-section, but how will the uterus be connected to the male body, how will the baby actually grow inside a male body? I can sew a pair of balls inside my labia majora, that doesn't mean I'm going start producing sperm.
