People have unique gender identity experiences and express gender identity differently. Gender-affirming care allows everyone to express their true self safely when getting healthcare. People are more likely to get regular health checkups when they feel valued, supported and understood as their unique self. These no-cost well visits improve people’s physical and mental health.
