Fertility preservation for transgender individuals

Abstract

Transgender people are just as able to be good parents as anyone else. The treatment involved in addressing their gender dysphoria usually removes their natural fertility and if they want to preserve their fertility, they will need gamete storage. The technology needed to provide gamete storage for transfolk is not any different from anyone else but the clinic setup, human interactions and the approach used need to be sensitive and require everyone in the clinic to understand the issues and behave accordingly if high-quality service is to be provided.
