Adam Lambert is joining forces with the Center for Gender-Affirming Care, based in his hometown of San Diego, to raise funds towards its mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate, evidence based care and support to transgender and non-binary youth and their families. Part of Rady Children’s Hospital, the center creates a safe medical home for young people to have all aspects of their care addressed, in a space that understands how gender dysphoria impacts one’s feeling of safety and comfort in a medical environment.
Fans’ donations to the Center for Gender-Affirming Care enter them into an opportunity drawing to win one of the following:
- A recorded message from Adam – 1 available
- A 30 minute Q&A with Adam – 4 available
- A 20 minute one-on-one video call with Adam – 1 available
Donations go directly to the center to support the following:
- Pubertal suppression
- Gender-affirming hormone therapy
- Referrals to reproductive health specialists
- Referrals to surgical specialists
- Referrals to other relevant specialists (dermatology, hematology)
- Assistance with legal name change
- Resources for transgender youth and their families
- Ongoing mental health support through the clinic
- Voice therapy and coaching at Rady Children’s Hospital
- Social support through community events and groups
- Ongoing education for the community, medical and mental health providers
Transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming youth are frequently discriminated against and may not get support and understanding from peers, friends and family. Finding care providers that are knowledgeable and familiar with treatment options can be challenging as well. Together we were able to raise almost $24,000 going directly to the center!
