To optimize healthcare for gender-diverse students at a large, public university's Student Health and Wellness (SHW) Center. SHW professionals from medicine, gynecology, health promotion, counseling, psychiatry, and disability services developed a multidisciplinary gender-diverse care team (GDCT) in 2016. The GDCT's team-based design was created to support a diverse student body and provide extra resources to a vulnerable population, ensuring students engage fully in the University. The GDCT has assisted approximately 93 unique students, in-person or by phone with clinical or supportive care. The number of students presenting with questions pertaining to transgender and gender-diverse health care has increased since 2016. Having a comprehensive, multidisciplinary GDCT available within a university SHW provides transgender and gender-diverse students with access to a safe, inclusive, and resource-rich environment to seek care and serves as a potential model for other college health centers.

Gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) and gender-affirming surgery may alter reproductive function and/or anatomy, limiting future reproductive options to varying degrees, if individuals desire to either give birth or become a biological parent.
Objective And Rationale: TGD people increasingly pursue help for their reproductive questions, including fertility, fertility preservation, active desire for children, and future options.
