The Hook Up · Thinking about fertility when you're trans or gender-non-conforming · 1 Oct 2019
podcast
Yeah, absolutely.
It can be a bit much and I think, you know, what we know is that often uh you know, trans people um may really struggle to find employment as well.
We know there's discrimination.
Um and there might be financial constraints uh as well.
So and then the added financial burden of going through all this as well can be huge and uh and just to touch on something that uh
Grace mentioned just before.
I was just thinking, Grace, when you were talking about what it's like to
say transition as a young person and not thought about fertility, but you may not even thought about what does sexual intimacy look like post transition.
And so the challenges of of all these things on top of fertility and you know, uh wow, these are so overwhelming concepts, aren't they, for anyone to consider, but putting 'em all together
that's really intense.
Uh yeah, so it can be a very huge financial strain, emotional strain.
Um, really important to have good supports around you uh to help you through these challenging times.
Lisa and I absolutely agree with Grace.
Um I I think that the emotional impact on having to come off your hormones and then go back onto them again uh can possibly be quite detrimental.
So you really wanna be um secured a good supportive tribe around you, I think, and uh and you do need
To be tapping into great supports, mental health support and as well as family and friends.
If you've you know, you may not have that family support perhaps, but um then even more important to look more broadly to where you can get that support from.
And there are a lot of good supportive organisations and um counseling services and um and I think it's you can't underestimate the importance of
of uh really tapping into that emotional support because it
will be challenging.
