Gender Affirming Care

What is it?

  • Care “designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity” and encompasses a range of different interventions; social, psychological, medical, behavioral (Boyle, 2022)

  • Purpose: help gender diverse folx align various aspects of their lives with their gender and live happily, authentically, and safely

What is it not:

  • Gender affirming care is NOT conversion therapy

  • It is not immediately deciding or forcing anyone to start medical treatment they aren’t prepared for or willing to undergo

  • It is not working to “fix” or “repair” and the focus is never ever on the gender diverse person being broken
