Gender-affirming Policies

Gender-affirming policies are guidelines and practices that support and respect individuals' gender identities. They aim to create safe, inclusive environments by recognizing and validating people's self-identified genders, whether in healthcare, workplaces, or schools. These policies can include access to gender-appropriate healthcare, the right to use preferred names and pronouns, and protections against discrimination and harassment. Their goal is to ensure transgender and gender-diverse individuals are treated with dignity, equality, and respect, fostering their well-being and societal acceptance.
