Biohacking involves individuals determining, developing, and directing relevant activities to meet their personal biological goals. Biohacking fertility is a resilient method that trans and genderqueer people use to meet their reproductive and family-planning needs in the face of historic medical marginalization and oppression. In this study, nine participants were recruited from three different Facebook groups specific to queer and trans fertility, family planning, pregnancy, and parenting. Each participant’s posts and comments to their respective Facebook group(s) were analyzed, followed by interviews with participants. A total of 1,155 Facebook posts were collected. Biohacking activity—understood as a web of activity including gathering information, applying knowledge to personal circumstances, and sharing personal experiences and knowledge—was found in each of the three groups. Participants identified these online groups as safer spaces to learn more about their own fertility and find community. Participants were active in these groups to biohack their fertility at home and to become empowered at the doctor's office or fertility clinic, ultimately achieving agency in their fertility and family planning.

生物黑客涉及个人确定、开发和指导相关活动以实现其个人生物学目标。Biohacking 生育是一种弹性方法，跨性别者和性别酷儿在面对历史性的医学边缘化和压迫时使用它来满足他们的生殖和计划生育需求。在这项研究中，九名参与者是从三个不同的 Facebook 群组中招募的，这些群组专门针对酷儿和跨性别生育、计划生育、怀孕和育儿。分析了每个参与者在各自 Facebook 群组中的帖子和评论，然后对参与者进行了采访。总共收集了 1,155 条 Facebook 帖子。生物黑客活动——被理解为一个活动网络，包括收集信息、将知识应用于个人情况、和分享个人经验和知识——在三组中都存在。参与者将这些在线群组确定为更安全的空间，可以更多地了解自己的生育能力并找到社区。参与者积极参与这些团体，以在家中对生育能力进行生物黑客攻击，并在医生办公室或生育诊所获得授权，最终在生育和计划生育方面发挥作用。
