What else? I like naming hormones and puberty blockers rather than saying GAC when possible. Also good to acknowledge the (irrational) reaction people have to blocking puberty as something that sounds like a big deal but is totally not medically speaking. Like "I know that can sound pretty wild but"

I like saying "families" over "parents" because it's both more inclusive and registers that the trans kid themselves has agency in the care (while in practice parents are always involved). Also good to stress decisions about care are individualized; not about what's right for "a kid" but "this kid"
