Men calling themselves women have once again proved how little they know of actual womanhood. The announcement last week of the UK’s first successful womb transplant has encouraged some of the most unsavoury trans activists to express their desire to possess a womb – not so that they can bear children, but rather so that they can have abortions.

Last week, a clip circulated on X (formally known as Twitter) shows trans activist Rhiannon Rose declaring: ‘I want to be the first transwoman to have an abortion.’ Rose’s desire is apparently genuine. Worse still, he is not just a lunatic outlier. The graceless Grace Lavery, author of Please Miss: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Penis, has also expressed similar sentiments. ‘Someone alive today will become the first transwoman to have an abortion’, she once tweeted wistfully, followed by a heart emoji.
