Informed consent (IC) is a model of treatment that was created and advocated for by transgender people. Informed consent relies on the trans person to know themselves best–basically, if you know that you are trans, and you know that you’d like to pursue certain treatment options and can demonstrate competency about those things, it’s likely that an IC provider will grant them. While informed consent surgeons are rare, informed consent HRT is becoming more and more common.
