It's been nearly 60 years since the first transgender medical clinic opened in the U.S. Dr. Milton Edgerton established the nation’s first university-based Gender Identity Clinic in 1966 .

He says cisgender children have been prescribed gender-affirming hormone therapies to make children conform to gender stereotypes since at least the 1940s .

G. Samantha Rosenthal : Being trans is an identity and a lived experience, not a disorder.

Many trans people still need to jump through similar hoops today to receive gender-affirming care.

Rosenthal : Legislators are developing policies about us despite the fact that most Americans say they do not even know a trans person.
