The context, science and practice of gender-affirming care for transgender and gender diverse people. Comment from Alex S. Keuroghlian, JoAnne Keatley, Simran Shaikh & AsaRadix, FenwayHealth CallenLorde
Gender-affirming care is the provision of health services to support a person’s process of living and being perceived in alignment with their own gender identity and expression. A lack of gender-affirming care relegates a person to live and be perceived based on societal expectations related to the sex assigned at birth.
The field of gender-affirming care has evolved substantially in the past century and consists of several key components, including psychological, social, legal, medical and surgical affirmation. Gender affirmation requires inclusive and culturally responsive healthcare environments, as well as broader policies and laws that support and protect gender diversity locally, nationally and globally.
