Not much is known about how many trans or nonbinary people get abortions.
A leaked draft opinion indicates the Supreme Court could rule in favor of a Mississippi law and overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming months, leading to a country-wide overhaul of abortion rights.Coleman himself didn't know he could get pregnant after undergoing long-term hormone therapy, and his primary care physician, who is also trans, didn't think to provide him with a pregnancy test, he said.
"I can imagine that Texas would be one of those states that would pounce on making it completely illegal. Where does that leave me?" he said. Activists argue that people of all genders are affected by poor reproductive health care under our current systems, and it is often disproportionately worse for socially marginalized people, such as those in poverty.
"At the end of the day, the core issue is that the opposition is attacking our right to bodily autonomy," said D. Ojeda, a senior national organizer at trans advocacy organization National Center for Transgender Equality."The tactics they use to increase barriers for gender-affirming care are so so similar to the attacks they're doing on access to abortion and the criminalization of health care providers.
Inclusive and safe reproductive care can be hard to come by for some gender-nonconforming people, activists say. They may face discrimination or prejudice from care providers, who may not respect and acknowledge a patient's pronouns or identity, Coleman, Turner and Ojeda say. When it comes to accessing abortions, the fear of discrimination is compounded by the stigma and restrictions surrounding the health care procedure, gender-nonconforming activists say.
