Trans men are people who, based on their genitals, were assigned the status of female at birth. However, their identity and their way of living gender do not correspond to the socially established norms. In this paper, we discuss the different perspectives in relation to transgender people and their desire for parenthood. This review, and the basis of this paper, is inspired by the case of a trans man who desired gestation with his own genetic material. He began the cycle of assisted reproduction when he was a legally recognized woman, but that attempt ended with a miscarriage. From that assisted reproduction cycle, four embryos remained frozen. After the failed experience of gestation, the person completed his transition. Now legally a man, he attempted to gestate using his reproductive organs. This literature review aimed to identify relevant studies describing the relationship between transgender person and biological parenthood. This study comprehensively addresses important aspects one should know when considering a transgender pregnancy. These factors include biological, psychological, social, and legal issues. After reviewing the state-of-the-art information on trans parenthood, the main conclusion is that 'the desire to have a child is not a male or female desire but a human desire'.
跨性别男性是指那些在出生时被基于其生殖器而被指定为女性身份的人，但他们的身份和生活方式与社会所确立的性别规范并不相符。本文讨论了与跨性别者及其生育愿望相关的不同观点。这篇综述以及本文的基础是受到一位跨性别男性希望使用自己的遗传物质进行妊娠的案例启发。他在被法律认可为女性时开始了辅助生殖周期，但该尝试以流产告终。从那次辅助生殖周期中，有四个胚胎被冷冻。在妊娠失败后，这个人完成了性别转换。现在作为法律意义上的男性，他试图使用自己的生殖器官进行妊娠。本文献综述旨在确定描述跨性别者与生物生育之间关系的相关研究。这项研究全面涉及了在考虑跨性别妊娠时应该了解的重要方面。这些因素包括生物学、心理学、社会和法律问题。在回顾了关于跨性别生育的最新信息后，主要结论是“生育孩子的愿望不是男性或女性的愿望，而是人类的愿望”。
