Overview of Gender Affirming Care

Gender affirming care encompasses medical, psychological, and social support for individuals whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex at birth. The goal is to alleviate gender dysphoria and improve overall well-being. It includes a spectrum of interventions, such as social transitions, hormone treatments, and surgical procedures. Patient preferences and individualized care are prioritized, and gender affirming care is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
