About the article
Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters Journal invited GATE to write a guest blog on issues of reproductive justice and transphobia.
Historically, the movement for reproductive rights and justice hasn’t been the most trans-inclusive space. Reproductive justice is, in essence, about the right to have a child, or to not have a child. For trans and gender diverse people, this goes beyond access to abortion and/or fertility treatments, to include the right to retain our fertility. Our fight centers around the struggle for bodily autonomy: the right to choose what is best for our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
