Gender-affirming care describes a range of support transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals may seek in order to affirm their gender identity, including social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions. This can include gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT), a type of prescription medicine people can take to cause their body to begin physically developing into the gender they identify as. Major medical organizations in the U.S. agree that gender-affirming care is essential for the emotional and physical well-being of those who seek it.
