As Dr Anastacia Tomson explains, transition is a kaleidoscope: what’s affirming for one person may differ for another, and all are valid. Even cis people affirm gender. We all navigate the world through a gendered lens. #TransHealth #GenderAffirmingCare #GenderAffirmation
Transition isn’t just hormones or surgery. 🌈 It can mean legal, social, or physical changes like binding, tucking, voice training, or even breaking gender “rules.” No two transitions look alike — and that’s valid. Cis people affirm gender too. #TransHealth #GenderAffirmation #GenderAffirmingCare
