Kentasia's story
HRT Access Fund recipient
Tiffany (she/her) is currently experiencing homelessness, moving between family members’ homes while trying to access the care she needs. Without stable housing or reliable income, finding safe, affordable HRT has been an ongoing struggle.
She had previously been able to receive hormone therapy through a program, but after its funding ended, Tiffany was left without options. “It would mean I could continue to get hormone therapy that I was receiving,” she explains, sharing that she has even had to resort to unsafe alternatives to access her medication.
For Tiffany, support from the HRT Access Fund would provide not only continuity of care but also the safety and stability of knowing her medication is secure.

What is it?
Estrogen+ refers to the gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy (HRT) methods that some trans women, trans femme, and non-binary people take that result in physical changes which align with their gender identity. Every person's preferences and personal healthcare needs vary, so this can include oral medications, injections, and transdermal patches.
How accessible is it for trans folks to receive this care?
For trans folks who live in states most impacted by anti-trans healthcare legislation, it can be extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable, trans-affirming provider as well as access prescription medication. Many insurance plans do not cover HRT. For trans folks without insurance coverage, the ongoing out-of-pocket expense can be challenging.
What is the impact of this care on the recipient’s life?
Estogen+ introduces a wide range of feminizing physical, emotional, and psychological changes that align with their gender identity. This often leads to a more positive emotional well-being, increased confidence, increased safety when in public, and better opportunities at employment and more.
