Gender Affirming Care

---

One of the important discoveries this project has made is that there are a number of recorded instances where gender diverse people took actions to affirm their gender beyond clothing and hairstyles. 

We have found instances of a people assigned female at birth regularly shaving their upper lip to obtain a moustache (as they believed the hair would grow back coarser), others binding their chest to give it a flattened appearance and others still doing voice training to sound more masculine.
