NHS told 'offer transgender fertility treatment' or face legal action A watchdog is threatening NHS England with legal action if it does not begin offering fertility treatments to transgender patients as standard.
Transitioning can lead to fertility loss, but many patients are not offered a chance to have eggs or sperm stored.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission said this is "outdated" discrimination as patients with other conditions routinely get that option.
