I can't imagine how you would even begin to transplant a uterus from a woman into a man. First of all, what about the fallopian tubes and ovaries? Or will the uterus just be there on its own? Then you have the issue of blood supply. Would you have to make a a network of blood vessels for it from scratch? There's a limit to the number of veins that you can harvest from legs to make new arteries. What about the ligaments and muscles needed to hold it up and prevent if from prolapsing? Biological middle-aged and elderly women sometimes have hysterectomies because their pelvic floors can't support their uteruses. I can't imagine how that would work without even having the right structure for them.
This whole thing is a logistical nightmare.
