The Gender Affirmative Letter Access Project

Website: The GALAP Website

Biography

ABOUT US

We are a group of transgender, nonbinary, and allied mental health and medical providers based in the U.S. who have come together to:

a)    State our position on the requirement that transgender and nonbinary people and/or people seeking gender-affirming medical interventions acquire a letter of support from a mental health provider;

b)   Make public our commitment to making letters, when required by medical systems who adhere to the WPATH SOC, accessible and free.

POSITION STATEMENTS

WHY IT MATTERS

It may be years before clinical practice shifts toward a more socially just model. We aim to raise awareness in order to shift the culture of compulsory letters by eliminating the share of cost from our clients. We recognize that this movement is only an intermediary step towards a more ethical, just, and accessible model of gender-affirming care.
