Interview: Trans Fertility with Dr Anne Poliness

Health, Kids & Family, Medicine, Sexuality

On this episode of Family Matters, the team are joined by Fertility Physician Dr Anne Poliness and discuss the family building options for transgender individuals.

We ask Anne if people need to go off hormones and if so for how long? If individuals are looking to preserve their fertility how long can they freeze eggs or sperm? How to find a transgender friendly fertility specialist?

Transgender fertility also highlights the need for reform to current legislation which requires trans people to undergo intensive sex reassignment surgery before changing their birth certificate. This legislation has negative impacts on an individual’s future family building options.
