Abstract
Transgender men need contraception if engaging in intercourse with a cis-gender male
partner. The copper IUD is an effective, non-hormonal contraceptive well suited for
trans-males even while utilizing gender affirming hormone therapy. A gender-neutral
medical facility with well-trained and sensitive staff is the ideal setting to provide
such contraceptive care.
