Yunus' story

HRT Access Fund recipient

Yunus (he/him) is a 25-year-old trans man and person of color who has faced deep challenges in accessing consistent HRT. Family rejection, financial instability, and mental health struggles have forced him to repeatedly start and stop treatment, preventing him from fully transitioning. Despite these hardships, Yunus is a dedicated family man who continues to support his loved ones and community in any way he can.

A talented musician and computer programmer, Yunus uses his skills to teach and connect with others, often streaming online to share knowledge and creativity. However, dysphoria and inconsistent access to care have created barriers to pursuing his passions professionally, leaving him in a cycle of survival rather than growth.

“Having consistent, gender-affirming healthcare would stabilize me enough to finally build the life I’ve dreamed of,” Yunus shared. With this support, Yunus looks forward to stepping into his talents fully, living authentically, and creating a sustainable future for himself.
