Perceptions and Motivations for Uterus Transplant in Transgender Women.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Uterus transplant has been demonstrated to be a viable fertility-restoring treatment for women categorized as female at birth with absolute uterine factor infertility. Recent advancements, as well as considerations of fairness and equality in reproductive care, have now led to the possibility of uterus transplant being undertaken in transgender women.

Objective

To investigate the reproductive aspirations of transgender women and their perceptions of uterus transplant.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional survey study used a 27-item electronic questionnaire to investigate the reproductive aspirations of 182 transgender women older than 16 years, including their perceptions of and motivations for uterus transplant, between May 1 and November
