Gender affirmative care

Gender-affirmative care is a medical and psychological approach that supports individuals in aligning their healthcare, social lives, and appearance with their gender identity—how they personally experience and identify themselves. It involves understanding and respecting each person's gender journey, offering services such as counseling, hormone therapy, or surgical options when appropriate, and assisting with social adjustments like name and pronoun changes. This care aims to improve mental well-being, reduce distress, and promote overall health by affirming a person's authentic gender identity.
