      Uterus transplants are a thing for cis women but uterus transplants for trans women are still in the development and experimental stage.

          yeah they had a woman with xy chromosomes and no uterus (but not trans) in ireland give birth with a donated uterus. baby healthy, and they decided to go with it because transplant patients have given birth before with no adverse effects. its unlikely that this tech will be widely available soon for trans people though :\

          it would be awesome if they come up with a way to make organs with your dna though. possibilities endless there.

            They're getting there. It's ironically one of the few things that is easier to do in microgravity.
