Reproduction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals: A Clinical Guide
By Molly B. Moravek, Gene de Haan
There are approximately 1.4 million trans-identified individuals in the US alone, many of whom will undergo gender-affirming medical or surgical interventions to better align their appearance with their gender identity. Multiple major medical societies recommend fertility preservation counseling prior to starting any gender-affirming therapies, but data are limited on the reproductive effects of common gender-affirming hormone regimens. The burden of fertility counseling falls to the hormone providers and surgeons that are encountering these patients, many of whom will not have had adequate training or resources to provide evidence-based recommendations and options. Additionally, many reproductive health care providers are not trained in how to care for gender minorities.The purpose of this book is to be a reference for clinicians and researchers in the field of transgender medicine, to provide up-to-date data and resources to properly counsel transgender and nonbinary patients about the reproductive consequences of gender-affirming interventions and their options for family-building, and to educate providers about appropriate and culturally competent reproductive health care. Effects of masculinizing and feminizing hormone therapy, as well as the fertility preservation options available, are discussed in detail for both adults and youth. In addition to these medical considerations, both psychosocial, legal and ethical considerations are highlighted for a more well-rounded presentation. A final chapter describes how to create a welcome and accepting clinical environment. Such a reference does not currently exist, leading to the propagation of misinformation and encouraging patients to seek nonmedical sources, such as social media, for their information. Reproduction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals fills in this gap as a timely text for reproductive endocrinologists, surgeons and all clinical staff working with this population.
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.
