What does it look like to receive gender-affirming care that is grounded in science and humanity? In this episode of The Lavender Lounge, Ari Kravitz, a family nurse practitioner at Spectrum Medical Care Center, joins us to unpack the what, why, and how of evidence-based gender-affirming care. As a trans healthcare provider who specializes in HIV prevention, HIV care, and gender-affirming treatment, Ari brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the conversation. Ari shares how lived experience informs compassionate practice, the treatment model guided by WPATH, and the various hormone therapy and surgery options available to trans people. We also explore the real-world barriers to gender-affirming care, the mental-health impacts of today’s political climate, and the power of community. Join us to learn how evidence-based care can transform lives, why empathy belongs at the center of medicine, and how everyone deserves to feel safe and happy in their own body. Tune in now!
