Reproduction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals is a groundbreaking book that aims to provide clinicians and researchers in the field of transgender medicine with a comprehensive resource on the reproductive consequences of gender-affirming interventions. Authored by Molly B. Moravek and Gene de Haan, this book addresses the lack of available information and resources in this area, offering up-to-date data and guidance for properly counseling transgender and nonbinary patients.

In the United States alone, there are approximately 1.4 million trans-identified individuals, many of whom will undergo gender-affirming medical or surgical interventions. Before starting these therapies, multiple major medical societies recommend fertility preservation counseling. However, healthcare providers who encounter these patients may not have had adequate training or resources to provide evidence-based recommendations and options.

The burden of fertility counseling often falls on hormone providers and surgeons who may be ill-equipped to guide patients in the best interests of their reproductive health. Furthermore, many reproductive health care providers are not trained in how to care for gender minorities. Reproduction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals aims to bridge this knowledge gap and ensure that healthcare providers have the necessary tools to offer appropriate and culturally competent reproductive health care.

In this book, the authors delve into the effects of both masculinizing and feminizing hormone therapies on fertility, providing detailed information for both adults and youth. Additionally, the book explores the available options for fertility preservation. Beyond the medical considerations, Reproduction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals also examines the psychosocial, legal, and ethical aspects of reproductive health care for this population.

One of the standout features of this book is its emphasis on creating a welcoming and accepting clinical environment for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The final chapter provides guidance on how healthcare providers can create a safe space for their patients, promoting inclusivity and understanding.

One of the challenges in this field is the proliferation of misinformation, with patients often turning to nonmedical sources, such as social media, for information. Reproduction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals serves as a reliable and timely resource, countering the spread of misinformation and ensuring that patients and healthcare providers have access to accurate and evidence-based information.

The book, published by Springer, is set to be released on February 2, 2023, and is available in English. The digital version of the book spans 217 pages, offering a comprehensive exploration of the topic. The ISBN-10 is 3031149327, and the ISBN-13 is 978-3031149320.
