Mori's story
HRT Access Fund recipient
Mori (he/him) is a nonbinary transmasc person from Mississippi navigating financial and family barriers to care. Raised by a single mother alongside three siblings, he has long faced financial insecurity, and while his father is supportive, his mother is not. The only HRT clinic nearby is hours away, and without a car, access has been impossible. This fall, Mori plans to move into university housing, where he hopes to begin testosterone in a safer environment.
Balancing school expenses, groceries, and several prescriptions, Mori already struggles to cover basic needs. Asking family for financial help isn’t an option. “Receiving 12 months of HRT support would be liberating,” he shared. With this assistance, he could begin his transition without debt or guilt, and much sooner than he imagined.

What is it?
Testosterone+ refers to the gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy (HRT) methods that some trans men, trans masc, 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?
Testosterone+ introduces a wide range of masculinizing 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.
