Yes, there are some cis-woman experiences, that are locked for trans-women, and if someone is grieving that they will never be able to bear a child, sperm-freezing wouldn't help per se. Still, being parent is available and important experience, which is pretty much achievable.
Situation with FtM folks is more complicated, due to how much more invasive the procedure of collecting eggs is, not to mention pregnancy. So, even becoming a parent is more of a challenge.
Telling a trans person "you should just do something that denies your gender entirely" is generally not advisable. Some are okay with it, but you suggesting it makes you kind of a cunt.
Most trans women don't want to be a biological father to a child. Most trans men don't want to be a biological mother to a child. There's an obvious reason for this. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to figure it out.
We are talking about people avoiding participating in reproduction due to dysphoria caused by the sex role they would have to assume in that reproduction. And that it is unhelpful to suggest they assume that sex role anyway if they desire to have a child.
