Okay, so I know this should seem obvious, but I want to confirm it for absolutely sure. Are post-op trans women 100% for sure unable to get someone pregnant?
One of the reasons I have always avoided sex is because I am really afraid of having a child when I know that I would not be a good parent. I have made a promise to myself that I will just never take that risk. I know that hormone therapy supposedly makes us sterile, but I've never wanted to test that because I'm sure it's not 100% guaranteed. If there really is absolutely no way I can get someone pregnant after SRS, that might be the first time in my life when I would be comfortable with having sex.
So, is it 100% guaranteed that I cannot get someone pregnant after SRS under any circumstances?
Yes. Completely sterile. SRS removes the source of sperm.

I sure hope so!!
My testicles are gone; there is no way whatsoever for me to produce sperm anymore. This isn't like a vasectomy, which has a failure rate - it's full and unequivocal castration. If you Google for the sterility of *that,* you should be reassured. :)
During SRS nowadays many surgeons use as much usable material as possible.
But in any case the testes as source like Deborah said are removed.
As a funny aside a few people before srs were asked if they would donate their testes for scientifical purposes in exchange for some money.
They happily spent theit "nuts" money together afterwards.

It will be 13 years ago in March when I had my surgery and nothing has ever grown back ;D

Same here, I sometimes regretted I didn't save sperm, I wasn't given the option back in 1985.
Yep, snip snippety snip, sperm factory gone. Besides, you can't penetrate anyone, so you can't get them pregnant naturally anyway.
I'm gonna get all Sex Ed up in here.

Whoa, gotta correct that right there. Fluids flow. People can get pregnant from panties-on frottage. No penetration necessary.
Second thing: even if you're perfectly sterile, sex is not "safe". You can still pick up STDs. Play it safe, use fluid barriers.

HRT decreases male fertility, but as long as you still have your testes and penis, there would always be some level of risk. However, with (1) removal of the testes in orchiectomy or (2) removal of testes and penis in most forms of SRS, the risk declines to zero.
