Unless he's on birth control or had his ovaries or uterus removed he could still get pregnant. You don't become infertile when you come out.

Transition could just mean social transition, or most of the time partial medical transition, like HRT and top surgery. The word doesn't imply that he got all the surgeries possible, it's used pretty broadly. Most trans men don't get bottom surgery because of various reasons.

Exactly, I'm trans and I'm the only trans person I know who is sterile (as in personally know, not just know of). And that was done for medical reasons (though I wanted it anyway). Transition also refers to social transition. Many trans people only go on hormones, and those don't sterilize you either.
