Although there is no way for a transwoman to get impregnated, I did read some stuff once which said that it was perfectly feasible for a male to carry to term an embryo that had been implanted in the abdoemen and attached to *something* that gave a dependable blood supply. - Not the same as pregnancy and birth, but at least it's something
No idea where I saw it now, but perhaps someone else saw it and remembers?
I also want to mention that although I never cared much for the idea of babies before, after a years HRT I too have had the occasional pang and several times when women have wheeled recently born babies into my shop I've felt positively gooey looking at them! 
It's called an ectopic pregnancy.
https://www.google.com/health/ref/Ectopic+pregnancy This is when an embryo is fertilized outside the uterus and attaches to either the fallopian tubes or the abdominal wall. This is a hugely dangerous situation for the mother and if this is discovered an abortion is recommended. The reason is that the placenta will bond to the abdominal walls and internal organs inside the woman's body. The foetus, of course will have to be delivered via cesarean section. The placenta, however will have to be cut away from the various internal organs that it has attached to. The possibility for hemorrhage during the removal is quite high. That is the purpose of a uterus, to give the embryo something to bond to.
There is no reason that a fertilized embryo couldn't be placed within the abdominal walls of a male and have it bond there. Whether it could be carried to term is unknown. But the male would face the exact same life threatening dangers as the woman.
