Why are Cis people in charge of gender affirming care?

In some areas, there aren't even enough allies in medicine... that being said, though, you will sometimes find them where you least expect. Even had an old primary care physician, in my very conservative state, who clocked me as a somewhat closeted trans/nb and shared that unlike his colleagues in the same medical practice he was an ally. One who had previously cared for a trans patient in the past too. Just a reminder that there are tons of good ones out there too. 💟
