🏳️⚧️ Why is this study important?
Gender-affirming care is known to improve gender congruence, but its effects on social health are still underexplored. This study aims to fill that gap, providing insights into how gender-affirming care impacts social networks, relationships, and social well-being.
Introducing @genderinsight.bsky.social! Tomorrow they will officially launch their international and multidisciplinary network for the studying of biopsychosocial influences on gender. You can join the day with conversations, lectures and a film by registering via [email protected].
