A Republican #Oregon representative has voted in favor of gender-affirming care, after:

-Recognizing own ignorance
-Seeking the input of experts
-Seeking the input of impacted citizens
-Reading the World Professional Association for #Transgender Health's standards of care

“My concerns are lessened knowing medical providers have adopted and are adhering to these standards,” Conrad wrote.
