Meet Elias

Elias (he/him) has faced many challenges navigating healthcare, often feeling ignored or unsafe with doctors, even those who claimed to be LGBTQ+ friendly. Because of these experiences, his only real options for HRT have been telehealth services. Despite these barriers, Elias has made strides in his life: he’s broken free of homelessness and recently secured a steady job.

Now, he dreams of maintaining consistent access to HRT so he can continue living comfortably and confidently as himself. “I would love a year of coverage so I can live comfortably as the man testosterone is helping me with,” Elias shared. Still working to pay off loans taken out in the process of securing stable housing, receiving 12 months of HRT support would bring much-needed relief, reduce financial strain, and give him the confidence to continue moving forward in his life.
