Mississippi Today compiled answers to some commonly asked questions about HB 1125 and gender-affirming care.
What is gender-affirming care? Gender-affirming care refers to a broad range of interventions, from medical treatment to psychological and social support, that aims to affirm an individual’s gender identity, especially when it is different from the one they were assigned at birth, according to the World Health Organization. It seeks to reduce gender dysphoria, the distress trans people can experience when their physical features do not match their gender identity.
