A gender-affirming evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by healthcare professionals to determine the appropriate course of care for individuals seeking gender-affirming interventions. Gender-affirming care is a supportive form of healthcare. It consists of an array of services that may include medical, surgical, mental health, and non-medical services for transgender and nonbinary individuals.

The gender-affirming evaluation aims to ensure that individuals receive personalized, affirming care that aligns with their unique needs and goals. It also helps healthcare providers make informed decisions about the most appropriate interventions to support the individual’s gender transition or affirmation journey.
