Abstract

All methods of contraception used by a cisgender woman can theoretically be used by a transgender man. In practice, some contraceptives can aggravate gender dysphoria and should be discarded. On the other hand, contraceptives which make it possible to consolidate amenorrhea or to accentuate the virilization induced by taking testosterone will be better tolerated.

Keywords: Contraception; Homme transgenre; Testosterone; Testostérone; Transgender men; Transidentity; Transidentité.
