| Description | The states of Guernsey will provide funding for off-island gender affirming care if they have a gender affirming certificate. Because this treatment is provided off-island, islanders are subject to UK law. Islanders are free to also have privately funded gender affirming care. Whilst Puberty Blockers are not outright banned, the states of Guernsey will not fund for minors to receive them so they would have to fund for them privately. |
