Skeptics claim gender-affirming care for trans people is experimental and dangerous鈥攂ut that is false. Gender-affirming care for trans people is based on 40 years of clinical research, with best practices regulated by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). WPATH requires 鈥渆xtensive exploration of psychological, family, and social issues鈥 before considering physical interventions for young people, which means that no reputable provider is performing surgeries on or providing 鈥渆xperimental鈥 medication to minors.
