Gender affirming and sexual health care are essential aspects of overall well-being. Gender affirming care refers to health and social services that help individuals live in a way that aligns with their gender identity. This care can include medical, social and psychological supports such as counselling, hormone therapy or connecting with affirming peer and community networks. It acknowledges that gender exists along a spectrum and that each person’s experience is unique.
