Medical care that affirms the gender of an individual. This can include hormone supplements, hormone blockers, and, in some cases, surgical operations. For transgender individuals, this is usually called HRT, or Hormone Replacement Therapy (see example 1). Gender-affirming care is not exclusive to transgender individuals; it also encapsulates cisgender men and women who may have an imbalance of their body's hormones — testosterone and estrogen, respectively (see example 2).
Example 1
Sara booked and attended an intake appointment for her to receive gender-affirming care, which included estradiol and a testosterone blocker.
Example 2
Tony's doctor diagnosed him with gynecomastia, and Tony, who was born as a man and knew he was always a man, sought gender-affirming care via liposuction to correct his chest.

Much like the biology term: "Carrying Capacity". It is the most one can care about any particular situation.
"Oh, and also we're going to have balloons and watch movies and there will be cake. And omg Jimmy is invited and I hope he goes, but also-"
"Karen, stop. I've reached my Caring Capacity"
"Karen, stop. I've reached my Caring Capacity"

The delusion many experience while taking enormous risks with their health and their lives, during the Covid pandemic.
"You're going where??"
"Out to dinner. With friends. We're so done with being locked up."
"Don't you realize it's not safe to do that?"
"Oh, I'm being very careful."
