Meet Kaiel

Kaiel (he/him) is a young trans man who has been trying to access HRT since turning 18. Despite his persistence, he has faced repeated barriers. These obstacles, paired with unemployment, lack of transportation, and financial strain, have made his transition feel out of reach.

Kaiel has recently entered a residential care program due to struggles with autism, and he is uncertain what options will be available to him there. Still, he continues to hope. He has known he is transgender since he was 11 and has experienced severe dysphoria since childhood.

Receiving HRT support would be life-changing for Kaiel, offering him the chance to feel confident, comfortable, and at peace in his own body. He shared, “I don’t think words can describe how much even just one year of HRT would mean to me.”
