Hormone therapy is, for many trans people, an essential part of transitioning. In the AFFIRM Relationships project, we recognize the importance of having access to gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT). In this study, we hope to gain more insight into the changes people experience after being on gender-affirming hormones to improve the quality of this treatment option.
In addition to medical interventions, relationships with others including those with family, friends and romantic partners can also influence how we feel day to day. This may be particularly important during gender transition and hormone use, a time when the need for support from others is high. It is possible that some relationships could change after starting GAHT, but so far there is little scientific knowledge on the effect of these hormones on social life and social well-being.

To do the best research possible, it is essential that we can represent the views and experiences of as many people as possible, so if you are interested to be involved or just want to find out more, please get in touch! The research team are happy to answer any questions that you may have.
