Tiffany's story
HRT Access Fund recipient
Kentasia (she/her) is facing multiple barriers to receiving HRT. Despite searching through hundreds of insurance plans, she has been unable to find affordable, accessible gender-affirming care near her.
Recently, she lost her job after coming out as transgender and was evicted just days ago. Now without stable housing or financial assistance, Kentasia is determined to rebuild her life and access the care she knows she needs. “I am a woman and I know it! This HRT Access Fund will absolutely allow me to live my life to the fullest,” she shares.
For Kentasia, receiving support through the HRT Access Fund would be life-changing. It would provide her the opportunity to live authentically and begin moving toward a future where she can thrive as her true self.

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.
