Abstract

The pursuit of future family formation for transgender (TGD) and gender-diverse individuals in India is currently defined by a profound conflict: the progressive, rights-affirming principles established by the Supreme Court are being actively undermined by exclusionary provisions within recent legislation governing assisted reproductive technology. Fertility Preservation (FP) services, which are medically essential components of Gender-Affirming Care (GAC), are effectively placed out of reach for the TGD community due to legislative barriers and policy voids.
