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.

Children picking up illnesses from other children and taking that cough or cold home to the parents. Honey, it seems like we have been constantly sick ever since we enrolled junior into day care. I know junior is sick today, but we both have to work, just send him in! And the vicious circle of "Day care kenel cough continues"!

Hear me out...
Hym "Name one quality the people they advocate for have... That they do not share with the Jews. Ethnic Minority? Check. Immigrant? Check. Historically a political under-class? Check. Victims of genocide? Check. Progressives only care about jews. Their defense of other special interest groups serves only as proxy for jew defense. Didn't I say that that was how empathy actually works? You only 'empathize' (meaning understand what a person thinks or feel without them telling you and responding with the appropriate response) with people who act as a proxy for the self IN DIRECT PROPORTIONS and to the extent the other people act as a proxy to the self. That is why they are so obsessed with empathy but that doesn't stop them from only doing it selecting and in a way that is (ultimately) egocentric."

A local clinic guilty of false advertising that claims to provide health care "urgently." The keyword "Urgent" is merely included to dissuade patients away from hospitals.
"I gotta run up to Urgent Care, be back in a few hours."
"Urgent Care? More like Eventual Care."
"Ryan went to Urgent Care, we have plenty of time to see a movie."
