Can a female to male produce sperm?

Published in Transgender Health 1 min read

No, a transgender man (female to male) cannot produce sperm.

While transgender men may undergo hormone therapy and surgeries to align their physical characteristics with their gender identity, they do not develop the biological capability to produce sperm. Sperm production requires testes and the associated biological processes, which individuals assigned female at birth do not possess.

Although sperm production is not possible for transgender men, they may still experience gender-affirming outcomes and have various options available to them regarding family planning and building.
