Bug's story

HRT Access Fund recipient

Bug (he/they) is a non-binary trans man who has been making progress in his transition but recently faced setbacks due to financial strain and restrictive healthcare policies. As a disabled person working part-time, his income barely covers basic needs, leaving no room for HRT. The uncertainty of Medicaid coverage in the current political climate makes it even harder to access consistent, affirming care.

Bug shared, “Being the recipient of 12 months of support would mean I’d be able to continue my transition without having to choose between food and my prescription. I could finally build a little stability and focus on living, not just surviving.”
