gender affirmation

Having a good relationship with a doctor to help you through your medical gender affirmation is super important. Everyone deserves to feel safe & supported throughout their journey.

informed consent model 📝

 

Informed consent means being given correct & adequate information so that you’re able to make a decision about your health care. For gender affirmation, we talk about different hormone options, the risks, effects, combinations and how they might work with other medications or recreational drugs.

The process takes 2-3 appointments in total. After talking about your general health, we will talk about how you want to affirm your gender medically, and associated goals.

A genital exam is never required.

More info on the informed consent model can be found here.
