Safeguarding gender-affirming care is crucial for the well-being and rights of transgender individuals. Gender-affirming healthcare, which includes counseling, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures, allows transgender people to live authentically and alleviate gender dysphoria. Denying access to this care can have severe mental health consequences and perpetuates discrimination against a vulnerable population. As a society, we must prioritize the autonomy and self-determination of all individuals, including their right to access evidence-based healthcare services that affirm their gender identity. Restricting gender-affirming care not only violates the human rights of transgender people but also goes against established medical guidelines and standards of care. It is imperative that we take action to protect and expand access to this essential healthcare for the transgender community.
