There's lots of reactionary pearl clutching in the article but there's this excerpt which I found interesting (emphasis mine):
Normally, uterus transplants are temporary, the organs removed after a maximum of two children, so that women don’t have to stay on anti-rejection drugs for life. But some trans women, write the authors of the Fertility and Sterility editorial, may wish to keep their transplanted uterus indefinitely for “enhanced gender alignment.” The risk-benefit ratio, they said, “is unclear and potentially worrisome.”
Multiple attempted transplants have failed after the woman’s body rejected the donor uterus. “People have lost circulation in their legs and had to have the uterus removed so they didn’t lose their legs,” Quinn said. “There have been a lot of adverse outcomes that the public doesn’t know about.”
It seems to indicate that permanant transplantation of a womb, cis or trans, has still not been solved, but skimming the article seems to suggest that at least the temporary option is feasible for trans women.
I tend to get worried about any new procedure for a marginalized group because our systems structurally underfund their study. On the other hand, if a country like Cuba starts doing it I relax a bit, because they do at least try to combat this bias.
my cisgendered mom had to have her uterus removed after 2 kids due to medical reasons that arent that uncommon so honestly that solution isnt really "un-womanly" (i have no idea what term to use here)

That's very good news!
