Abstract

Objectives: To discuss the increasing visibility of non-binary individuals and inclusive policies and practices in assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

Methods: Comparison between traditional ART approach designed for binary genders and propose approach in non-binary individuals.

Results: Traditional ART services, designed for binary genders, must adapt to address the unique fertility needs of non-binary patients. This includes using gender-neutral language, providing comprehensive fertility assessments, and offering hormone therapy and fertility preservation options. Children of non-binary parents benefit from open communication about gender diversity, enhancing psychological well-being. Positive societal attitudes and inclusive environments in schools are crucial for preventing discrimination and promoting mental health. A systemic approach is required to make ART inclusive. This involves training staff, adjusting facilities, updating documentation, and advocating for supportive legislation. Addressing the reproductive needs of non-binary individuals ensures equitable access to care and supports their family-building goals.

Conclusions: Ensuring the well-being of children in non-binary families requires psychological support, inclusive healthcare, legal recognition, social support, and comprehensive education.

抗逆转录病毒疗法中的非二元患者：新的挑战和考虑因素。

目的讨论在辅助生殖技术（ART）中，非二元个体的能见度不断提高，以及包容性政策和实践：比较为二元性别设计的传统 ART 方法和针对非二元个体的建议方法：为二元性别设计的传统 ART 服务必须适应非二元患者独特的生育需求。这包括使用性别中性语言、提供全面的生育力评估、提供激素治疗和生育力保存方案。非二元性别父母的子女可以从有关性别多样性的公开交流中受益，从而提高心理健康水平。积极的社会态度和学校的包容性环境对于防止歧视和促进心理健康至关重要。要使抗逆转录病毒疗法具有包容性，需要采取系统的方法。这包括培训工作人员、调整设施、更新文件以及倡导支持性立法。满足非二元个体的生殖需求可确保他们公平地获得护理，并支持他们的家庭建设目标：确保非二元家庭中儿童的福祉需要心理支持、包容性医疗保健、法律认可、社会支持和全面教育。
