Short Abstract:
This resource highlights gender affirming care. Gender affirming care refers to healthcare that affirms a person’s gender identity and allows gender-diverse people to live more authentically. In order to be gender-affirming, providers must create positive and optimistic medical care systems, inclusive clinic environments, and patient support through effective and compassionate social gender transition. Luckily, with the appropriate planning and support, gender-affirming healthcare can be highly successful at all levels of the medical system which this resource provides in detail.
