A European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence
Physical and Psychological Evaluation of Hormonal Therapy in Transsexual PersonsThe physical and psychological effects of the hormonal treatment of transsexual persons are not sufficiently described. 'Transparency' wants to answer this question in a prospective manner, in a multicenter study to describe these effects. The low prevalence of transsexualism was the stimulus to search for European partners for this Protocol. A common standardized hormonal protocol was designed.
Sleep and IR in Transgender Adolescents
Sleep DisorderInsulin Resistance1 moreDisordered sleep is a health issue with significant impacts on physical and psychological well-being that has increased in prevalence, but its impact on transgender adolescents has not been fully quantified. While there is found to be an impact of sex steroids on sleep, and sex-dependent differences in the impact of sleep duration and quality on insulin resistance (IR), there is limited available information regarding the impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) for transgender individuals on sleep and IR. Our study aims to quantify the impacts of GAHT on sleep and IR in the pediatric transgender population as well as determine the degree of correlation of sleep to IR in this population.
Counseling Among Gender Diverse Adolescents Who Use Depot Medroxyprogesterone
Gender DysphoriaAdolescentRecommendations regarding contraceptive counseling and reproductive health differ amongst transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth compared to cis-gender youth. Limited existing literature demonstrates the need for contraceptive counseling that moves beyond cis- and heteronormative assumptions that start with pregnancy prevention and address concerns at the intersection of gender identity. The Investigator's qualitative study will focus on creating best practices regarding equitable contraceptive counseling for TGD youth. The Investigator will recruit transgender youth who are assigned female at birth, and currently or interested in using depo medroxyprogesterone (DMPA). Through focus groups and semi-structured interviews, the investigator hopes to guide providers in creating best practices and more equitable contraceptive counseling for TGD youth and measure satisfaction of DMPA in TGD youth.

Gender DysphoriaTransgenderThe goal of this study is to learn about fertility preservation in the gender-diverse community. The main objectives it aims to understand are to: Optimize techniques for processing and cryopreserving testicular tissue. Determine presence and number of germ cells (sperm precursors) in the patients' testicular tissue. Develop next generation cell- and tissue-based therapies for preserving fertility and treating infertility.
Gynaecological Gender-affirming Surgeries - a Prospective Cohort Study
Gender DysphoriaThe goal of this prospective cohort study is to learn about the patient report outcomes after gynaecological gender-affirming surgeries (i.e. hysterectomie, tubectomy, colpectomy) among trans-masculine and non-binary individuals (assigned female at birth). The main question it aims to answer are: • What is the epxerienced effect of gynaecological gender-affirming surgeries Participants will be asked to fillout a questionaire pre-opertively and 3,9 and 18 months post-operatively.
