Meet Maryanne

Maryanne (she/her) lives in a community where accessing HRT has become nearly impossible. A local physician once provided care through her queer community center, but legal restrictions ended those visits, and she has not been able to find any affordable options nearby. With no income, insurance, or access to informed consent care, Maryanne has had to put her transition on hold.

Currently unemployed and without a GED, Maryanne is working with vocational rehabilitation to seek entry-level work. For the next several months, her hours and pay will be capped, leaving her reliant on her grandparents for support while facing uncertainty about their housing situation. “It would be amazing to finally feel more comfortable in my own skin and stop seeing the damage male puberty is causing my body,” she shared.
