A proposito di questo titolo

What does gender-affirming care actually mean, beyond hormones and surgery?

In this foundational episode of Gender Queries, medical students Sam, Jess, and AJ explore what gender-affirming care is, how it’s defined through a WPATH-informed lens, and how people access it across Atlantic Canada. The episode unpacks gender-affirming care as medical, social, and legal support, grounded in informed consent, harm reduction, and meeting people where they’re at.

Through conversations with clinicians, researchers, navigators, and people with lived experience, we discuss social transition (including binding, tucking, packing, and padding), hormone therapy, safety, and the realities of navigating provincial healthcare systems. We also look at coverage gaps and how policy shapes access to care.

Whether you’re a healthcare provider, learner, community member, or just curious, this episode lays the groundwork for understanding gender-affirming care as essential, evidence-based healthcare.
