Gender‐affirming medical care includes puberty blockers, gender‐affirming hormones, and/or surgery, and is an important part of health care for transgender and nonbinary minors, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and others. The interventions are associated with improvements in anxiety, depression, and body image.
