If female reproductive organs could be created for MtFs.

It is something that I imagine many transwomen would welcome, but even if such was possible, there is the problem with producing eggs.

I'm working on a story that sees MtF characters given fully functioning female reproductive organs, but with their genetic make up, there is a problem concerning their Y-chromosomes. Eggs always contain X-chromosomes, for reasons I shouldn't have to explain.

If there was a way for the created organs to overlook the Y-chromosome, and only ever use the single X-chromosome, then that would be one answer.

Another option would be for the persons Y-chromosomes to be changed into X-chromosomes, but that is something I can't see as being a realistic possibility.

The story involves the organs being created from stem cells, taken from the patient's mother. It is sci-fi to a degree, but creating organs from stem cells is something that is being investigated.

I just want your opinions and ideas on the matter.
