Family Building for Transgender and Gender Diverse Individuals: Parenting for EveryBODY
Moderator: Deborah Kowal, MA, PA
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people, like cisgender people, may desire family building at some point in their lives. Some, but not all, TGD people use gender-affirming hormone therapy and undergo gender-affirming surgeries which may affect future fertility. This session will prepare clinicians to counsel TGD patients on the different options for family building, as well as considerations for fertility, lactation, and childbearing.
