"Young people who persistently identify as a gender that differs from their sex assigned at birth are often referred to clinics where teams from various medical specialties provide gender-affirming care. Such care begins with an evaluation, which can include a pediatrician and a mental health specialist who assess the degree of distress, if any, the young person is experiencing."
"Experts agree that allowing children to express their gender in a way that matches their identity is beneficial. Chazzie Grosshandler, who started receiving care two years after coming out to her parents, emphasizes the importance of familial acceptance in the journey of gender affirmation."
