Previous research has assessed fertility intentions among TGD people initiating hormone therapy. The objective of this study was to describe the fertility intentions of patients seeking gender-affirming surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective chart review was conducted for 233 patients seeking chest or genital surgery between 2017 and 2019. Data abstracted included interest in having children (biological or non-biological) and GB, and barriers to FP. Associations between fertility intentions, sex assigned at birth, and surgical procedure sought were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 233 records reviewed, 162 (70%) documented information about fertility intentions for patients without a history of sterilizing surgery. At initial consultation, 94% were receiving hormone therapy. Among the 60 patients seeking genital surgery, 30% expressed interest in GB and 38% were not interested in biological children. Among the 102 patients seeking chest surgery, 11% expressed interest in GB and 47% were not interested in biological children. Patients assigned male at birth were more likely to have already completed GB (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Among the patients interested in FP, 41% reported barriers to access.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Many TGD people in our study expressed no interest in biological parenthood; however, 30% of patients seeking genital surgery expressed interest in GB. This suggests that some who defer FP when starting hormones may wish to pursue it later in life. Ongoing assessment of fertility intentions and reducing barriers to FP are integral to caring for TGD people.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lgbt.2021.0148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]],"date-time":"2022-06-24T11:45:56Z","timestamp":1656071156000},"page":"325-332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Assessing Fertility Intentions in Patients Presenting for Gender-Affirming Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Geetika","family":"Mehra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4982-1323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth R.","family":"Boskey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gender Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA."},{"name":"Department of Plastic and Oral Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston Massachusetts, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carson J.","family":"Peters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H.
