Uterine transplantation in transgender women.

Gender dysphoria, defined as the persistent discomfort with one's gender identity or biological sex, affects between 0.5%-1.4% of adult males. Treatment aims at congruence, to allow those who experience it to find comfort within their gendered self, which optimises psychological wellbeing and self-fulfilment. Whilst many experiencing gender dysphoria require partial treatment or social transition, others only find comfort following surgical intervention to change their external genitalia and sexual characteristics. Traditionally, infertility has been an unfortunate consequence of the realignment of a transgender person's body with their gender identity. This article is protected by copyright.
