Samantha Lux stated around the 10 minute mark that the surgery does not allow for pregnancy to occur in TIMS... unless you have a uterus transplant! Firstly, I am not sure if Lux understands the necessity of ovaries for pregnancy.

This is the second time now I have seen reference to uterus transplants from TRAs. So effing creepy that there are TRAs contemplating literally taking a woman's body part and grafting it in themselves to feel more feminine! What the hell? Male bodies are not designed to carry and birth children. Even if you could transplant a uterus and a fertilized embryo into a TIM, their biologically male body still would not be ready to support pregnancy. I hope no scientists are wasting resources and effort on such a vain, creepy, and narcissistic endeavor, but I am truly scared to google it.

I'm not directly against it because it seems like it could be learned from, but you're right that it's very far off. It's not going to be plausible for a male body to carry a pregnancy for a long, long time.

Edit: Did the google for you. Uterus transplants from one female body to another female body are possible and the transplanted uterus can carry a child to term. So far, a uterus transplant from a female body to a male body has not been carried out, nor has an ovarian transplant from a female body to a male body.
