- Status is not correct "Gender affirming care in morocco is absolutely illegal and not a thing over there ( i'm saying this as a moroccan trans woman ), the links provided don't even lead to anything, and the text written is completely incorrect, in fact, there was never any mention of trans affirming healthcare in the country ( maybe other than some proposals by human rights organizations there that ended up being completely ignored ), i invite you to please do further research and correct the status :
