Gender-affirming Care

According to the World Health Organization, gender-affirming healthcare can include any single or combination of a number of social, psychological, behavioural or medical interventions designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity.
Under the clinical guidance of Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, gender-affirming healthcare services are safe and effective pathways to achieving lasting personal comfort with one's gendered selves with the aim of optimizing their overall physical health, psychological well-being, and self-fulfillment.
Gender-affirming healthcare is medically necessary.
