ah, so you ask me to summarise the various ethical discussions and post to MN for you to get a feel whether MtF might ever be approved for UTx surgeries and infertility treatments. And when I simply refuse to educate you, you dismiss all such ethical discussions to date as “meaningless” So you are not truly interested in the past and current bioethics discussions on this subject, are you?
Right. I have ‘googled’. I have failed to find any of these ‘ethics discussions’ at any level with world human rights governing bodies.
Lots of discussion by niche teams of scientists hypothetically discussing it.
Some even acknowledge that it will be effectively like growing a human in a bag due to degree of lack of supporting structure that could ever be changed in the male body.
Now, some labs may start petitioning to increase the legal limit of 14 days to five weeks, but there is a great deal of debate as to the ethics.
By contrast, no human embryos have been grown outside the womb beyond 14 days (the legal limit in the UK, Israel, China and many other countries), which is of course still at a very early stage of the journey towards becoming a baby. But Jacob Hanna, who led the Israeli project at the Weizmann Institute of Science, told Technology Review that it “sets the stage for other species… I hope that it will allow scientists to grow human embryos until week five.”

So, as I said. These ‘discussions’ are irrelevant to progressing YOUR point of view. The ethics of ‘ectogenesis’ which this then forms part of has been debated since the term ectogenesis came into being around 1924.
But crack on with your bad takes and misinformation. And a poor grasp on female physiology and how pregnancy works.
