This article provides an overview of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) Standard of Care 8th edition (SOC8) recommendations for adolescents seeking gender-affirming care. SOC8 was the first iteration of the guidelines to employ a Delphi consensus process that required 75% agreement of 120 multidisciplinary international transgender health experts for approval of its recommendations. While the evidence base for adolescent care is evolving, gender-affirming treatment is medically necessary and promotes long-term psychological wellbeing. The guidelines emphasize the importance of an assessment to determine maturity and decision-making capacity for treatments that have long-term body implications.
