Gender-affirming hormone therapy is a safe and effective way to improve quality of life and mental health outcomes for transgender adolescents.

Because some psychiatrists help transgender patients receive needed medical interventions, we analyze the ethical values they must balance when deciding whether to provide hormone therapy to patients who seek it.
