Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is using "Gender Affirmation" in lieu of "Gender Transition." Gender Affirmation | Johns Hopkins Medicine
Hopkins then breaks it up into Nonsurgical and Surgical aspects. Cleveland Clinic doesn't use "Gender Transition" either. 2601:C4:C300:A210:A810:AA14:2F69:B97E ( talk) 22:38, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
An explanation for my reverts:. gender affirmation is not the same as gender transition. Affirmation is an approach the medical field takes where it affirms the person's gender rather than making them jump through pathologizing hoops (ie gatekeeping models). People transitioned before the model, and sometimes transition underground without official medical channels at all, so to conflate these two terms, one the act of transitioning and the other the medical system's current approach to facilitating the process, is blatantly inaccurate and does a disservice to our readers.

"Transition" strikes me as disrespectful by disavowing the said person's womanhood. However, I will leave it to you since you appear to have lived experience.-- 2601:C4:C300:A210:A810:AA14:2F69:B97E ( talk) 22:49, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
The redirect template currently says, ""Gender change" redirects here. For Sex change, see Sex change." Please change that to ""Gender change" redirects here. For sex change, see Sex change." without the bold as that would make it grammatically correct. Mseingth2133444 ( Did I mess up? Let me know here) 00:38, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

There needs to be more of an idea on this page's identity I think. In addition: some parts of the page repeat almost verbatim (my fault, but it seemed better than the alternative of withholding detail in certain places), needs more neutral detail on detransitions, non-binary identity and transitioning as a non-binary person, and maybe more consensus on how this page is written? (what terms we use, etc.). I think I'm probably a bit too close to the page to help with some of these things, but I'll continue to improve the page however I can, whenever I am able. However, in its current state, I hope improvement is seen across the board!!
