"Gender transition" is outdated term
editJohns 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)
- They are not using it "in lieu of", they are using it, it is OR on your part to claim they are synonymous because of that. They are discussing some types of care, provided by professionals, that are gender-affirming. Transitioning in and of itself is different, and people can and have transitioned under different models of care. See my new topic added below that describes this in more detail - I started writing before you posted this one. TheTranarchist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 22:46, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Gender transition and gender affirmation are completely different things, because many cisgender people also get gender-affirming care such as breast augmentation, erectile dysfunction treatments, etc. for male people, female people, and intersex people.
- Some agender people undergo nullification surgery as a personal choice, and that is gender-affirming for them because they don't have any gender at all.
- Gender-affirming care is healthcare for everyone, including cisgender people, transgender people, and agender people, regardless of whether they are male or female or intersex, and regardless of their birth sex or altered sex. — CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 17:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
"Gender affirmation" is not a synonym for "gender transition"
editAn 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.

- I read the "transition," for example, from male to female to means that the person isn't really female and has to change (transition) to become female. On the other hand, "affirmation" makes me think that the person has always been female, but she is affirming (positively establishing) that which has always been true.
"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)

editThe 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)

Page issues
editThere 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!!
