摘要
An increasing number of young adolescents who identify as transgender or nonbinary are presenting to the health care system for gender affirmation therapy before the full progression of puberty. Gender-affirming therapy may impair future fertility, but options exist for fertility preservation. This perspective reviews these options for transmasculine and nonbinary youth, and explores related ethical considerations. The authors support the right of transgender and nonbinary youth to utilize available reproductive technologies, provide recommendations for treating health professionals, and advocate for increased research efforts and tools to aid patient decision making.
