Active listening is a powerful way to show empathy, demonstrating to your child that their feelings and experiences genuinely matter to you. It can be tempting to offer advice or immediate solutions, but sometimes, what your child needs most is a space to express themselves without fear of judgment.

Physical Alignment with Gender Identity: For individuals seeking a more aligned physical appearance, GAHT helps develop secondary sex characteristics that are consistent with their gender identity. This can include the development of breasts, softer skin, wider hips (feminizing therapy), or a deeper voice, increased body and facial hair (masculinizing therapy)123.
