3D Printed Organs For Transgenders

[TheSoloPlayer]

 Ok, so I've been wondering for a while about this. LGBT has been a big thing, but the one thing that is interesting is Transgender people. People would go through having hormone changes and Gender Reassignment Surgery that can change a Male to Female, and vice versa. 

 The one thing though, is that these surgeries can only modify the Male or Female Reproductive parts (except for the ovaries or testicles) to resemble those of the opposite sex.

 Now I've been thinking, since Scientists are already working on creating body parts with 3d printers, then couldn't they create Male and Female Reproductive Organs? Such as, a M-to-F transgender can get a 3d printed vagina. (Of course the patient or transgender person can work with the doctors to create a 3d model to the form they would like). And get that 3d printed organ transplanted, replacing whichever reproductive organ they had before.

 Would that ever be possible? 

 

 Also, could doctors create artificial Ovaries and Testicles, for transgender people that actually work?

 

 And, would it be possible for say M-to-F transgenders to actually have a "period"?

No.

 

Because the difference is Hormonal.

 

 

Estrogen and Testosterone.

 

 

No 3d printer is going to change your sexual reproductive organs.

 Well isnt that difference changed with hormone changes? Doctors already prescribe estrogen and testosterone that will change the persons hormones.

Regardless of the "printed" sex organs, a M-F transgender would have XY gonosome and a F-M XX gonosome. Assuming a functional gonad organ such as testis or ovary could be produced from the donor's own flesh, there would be some interesting "problems" logic shows directly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gametocyte
Firstly a F-M could ONLY ever produce daughters, even if sperm production could be started.(no Y gene)
Secondly, M-F would likely have a high chance of YY offspring. http://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/xyy-syndrome/
->That assuming they didn't get donor oocytes, which is arguably far more likely as I'm unaware of directed cellular differentiation towards ovum past the embryonic stage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oocyte

Other than that, I don't see why it would be "impossible" But I frankly don't see enough demand for that kind of technology to be developped or adapted any time soon.
I mean researchers ARE printing various animal organs, and they HAVE done it with mice, but the creation of human organs is at least a decade out   http://chicagoinno.streetwise.co/2016/04/06/3d-printing-body-parts-northwestern-prints-prosthetic-ovary/
