"Fertility and achieving pregnancy
A transgender man or trans man is someone who identifies as a man, but whose sex assigned at birth was female. Born with female reproductive organs, transgender men may elect to have any of a number of sex reassignment surgical procedures, although the largest survey on this subject showed that most have not, even though many wish to do so.15 This leaves many transgender men with the capacity to bear children. Some whose sex assigned at birth was female may also identify as gender queer, a term that identifies someone living outside the male–female gender binary, but nevertheless which could still allow for the possibility of a pregnancy.
While many transgender men will want to begin cross-sex hormone therapy with testosterone, not all do. For those who elect to use testosterone, its use may affect fertility, fecundity, and impact fetal development.16,29,30 Unfortunately, there is little data to inform balanced conversations on the topic."

If you are referring to a person born male who has transitioned into a woman, then no. Because she identifies as female but is biologically male, she would have been born with male reproductive organs.
A person born female who transitioned into a man but retained the uterus and ovaries would be able to become pregnant. There have been a few stories about transgendered men who became pregnant afterwards because they kept their female reproductive organs. For one example, see the article about Thomas Beatie................................................................... AND THAT IS BECAUSE THOMAS IS REALLY STILL A FEMALE. There is no such thing as "trans" beyond the mindset of the individual and the hormonal /plastic surgery like enhancements to make them feel a certain way. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GENDER IDENTITY IN SCIENCE.
