Gender Identity Development Service

The Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) is a specialized healthcare service in the UK that supports children, teens, and young adults experiencing gender dysphoria, a condition where their gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. GIDS provides assessment, counseling, and medical options such as hormonal treatment, aiming to help individuals understand their gender identity and make informed decisions about their transition. The goal is to support mental well-being and ensure personalized, respectful care in a safe environment.
