Mental health support, gender-affirming medical and surgical treatments (GAMST), screening programs, and regular follow-up ensure treatment safety and efficacy. The GIIG model promotes collaboration among specialists, primary health services, and LGBTQ\u2009+\u2009associations. Furthermore, it advocates for training healthcare professionals and raising awareness in the population.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The GIIG involves mental health professionals, endocrinologists, surgeons (plastic, urological, and gynaecological), voice specialists, internists, and associations. Associations serve as a point of reference for the community and offer psychological and legal services. Initial contact at the Center is made with MHP, who provide a safe space to explore gender identity, receive information, and support mental well-being. Endocrinologists prescribe hormone therapy and monitor its potential risks and overall health. Surgical interventions include chest, genital, and laryngeal surgery. Internists and other specialists assess osteo-muscular, hemo-coagulative, oncological, and infectious risks.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our experience emphasizes the need for personalized care tailored to individuals\u2019 desires while ensuring the safety of gender-affirming treatments.
