As we see more legislation regulating the LGBTQ+ community, I want to resurface this Q+A on the lifesaving realities of gender-affirming medical care (GAMC). The more we understand GAMC as the medical necessity it is, the more we can protect our youth. Thank you to all the physicians who provide GAMC, many of whom are worried about their personal safety and the safety of their patients, after receiving threats - even in states without bans. This work remains essential. https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/what-gender-affirming-care-your-questions-answered
