Wikipedia says "Should treatment of male-to-female transsexuals reach a point where post-operative females can become fertile, persons who were born biologically male (though identifying and living as female) could bear children, although this is currently impossible."
Though in a very rare controversial siuations, it is possible but not in a natural or normal way. It will be through artificial insemination. There are procedures to be done and hormonal treatment required. A man can breastfeed too. Check out the following links to read on male pregnancy:

There are certain parts you need to be born with in order to give birth or father a child. These can't be provided surgically. People with sex-change operations are still genetically whatever sex they were born with. So know, the man who becomes a woman can't give birth, nor can the woman who becomes a man produce the sperm that are needed to father babies. They would have to find an alternative way to become parents.

No a man with a sex change cannot have babies. He is still a man just HE looks like a woman.

Nope. Even if he or she rearranges things so that they look (and even act) like the opposite sex, they only have the sex organs they were born with. A man can't change his testes into functional ovaries, and a woman can't do the reverse. He wouldn't magically have a uterus all of a sudden and be able to get pregnant, nor would she grow seminal ducts and the other "plumbing" necessary to be a biologically fully-functional male.

The ability to reproduce depends on the reproductive system. A woman, cannot reproduce simply because she is female but rather because her reproduction system is composed of what is required for a pregnancie. When a person has a change of gender, the procedure normally involves the manipulation of the external genitalia and nothing much thereafter. Therefore, although the gender changes, the reproductive system should stay the same.
Gay couples adopt children, and by gay there are those few rare types that fall in this category because although their gender changed, genetically speaking they are still of the same sex as thery were before converting their genital organs.

No because for several reasons.
1- A man can not become a woman unless he is born a woman.
He is just masquading as a woman with body parts removed and chemically altered(such as shots ot make his voce chgange). And silicone breast implants,withhis penis removed, and a vacome left where it was. Ths or no amount of surgery can make him afemale nomore than surgery can make a female a male.
Only true females with the neccessary physical equi[pment can have babies, and only can true males with the neccessary male equipment can impregranate a woman.
Were the hormone shots were to stop transgendered would revert back toi what they were minus any parts removed in surgery.

No to both. a man can have a sex change but in actual reality, his part was just cut off and made it look like a womans genitals. But inside, he still does not have an ovary or a female reproductive system....

No and no...A sex change operation does not give transendered men ovaries or a womb, just a vagina. And the reverse does not give a biological woman the ability to produce sperm...what kind of "scientist" are you gonna be when you have to ask a question like this? This is basic biology. (Maybe you're just young.)
