Key facts on sexual and reproductive health for transgender people:
1. Transgender people may have sexual partners who are men, women, or both. A transgender person's partners or sexual history cannot be assumed from their gender identity or the gender they were assigned at birth.
2. Transgender people need preventive health screenings. Standard preventive health screenings are generally recommended for the body parts a patient has regardless of that patient's gender identity, including breast, cervical, and prostate cancer screenings.
