In the papers yesterday a a story about two transgendered people. A woman who had transgendered to male and a male who had transgendered to female. They got married. They want a baby. One of them said she was already broody.
I really do not understand. Who will have the baby?
What "Bits" for want of a better expression have they got?
I'm not having a go or being a bigot. I just do not understand at all.

If you look under 'Transgender pregnancy' in that link though, you'll see this (which offers one possible answer to your question):
"Trans men, assigned female at birth, often receive hormone therapy treatment, but recent studies show that this does not prevent pregnancies in the short or long-term"
However this statement is also present there, which suggests that 'test-tube babies' might be involved:
"In the UK, the NHS funds sex changes for transgender people and offers them fertility treatment and the ability to freeze their egg and sperm"
