Abstract

Transgender adolescents and young adults may wish to use cross-sex hormones as means to achieve identity goals. However, these hormones may impair future reproductive functioning. This case explores the complexities related to clinical decision-making concerning fertility and the use of cross-sex hormones in adolescent and young adult transgender populations.
