LGBTQ Agenda: Gay nonbinary Stanford doc receives fellowship to study LGBTQ fertility
ebar.comAccording to the National Institutes of Health, about 11% of women of reproductive age in the United States have experienced infertility.
That figure runs to about 9% in men. There is no reason to presume these figures are notably different for LGBTQ persons, which would mean, of course, that roughly 90% of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people are fertile and can, if desire and circumstances allow, have children.
It's long been the practice of fertility professionals in the medical community, however, to treat their LGBTQ patients who are looking to have children as if they were infertile, said Dr.
Brent Monseur, a gay man who identifies as nonbinary and is a fellow in reproductive endocrinology infertility, or REI, at Stanford University.
