Yes. Look up Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld and his gender affirming care in early 20th century Germany. The Berlin "Institut für Sexualwissenschaft" was the world's first trans clinic from 1919 until the Nazis destroyed it 1933.

Watch Eldorado: Everything the Nazis Hate about Berlin's vibrant trans community and how the rise of the nazis destroyed them.
