A Conversation with Living Legend Monica Helms, Creator of the Transgender Flag
October 2025

We asked the incredible folks in our community to share their unique stories and experiences.
In Their Words
The experience was so smooth and easy. I was confident in my choice to seek transition, and I felt like the clinician trusted me to have made that choice for myself. That’s a refreshing change from the norm for gender-affirming care!
As someone who struggled with services for my transition while I was active duty army, getting medications, referrals and such took a great amount of time. After being with Folx for nearly two years, I want to help spread awareness that Folx is easily accessible and the services offered are top tier for everyone including service members. One will not go through and struggle with misgendering when with Folx.
Being a Folx member has greatly changed my life for the better. The further I get into my transition, the happier and healthier I am. I realized that I was trans and needed to medically transition when I was around 12. I waited until I was 19 to seek gender-affirming care. Folx was the best option for me because of its low price and ease of access. Joining it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Member Stories
I appreciate the efficiency and ease. No waiting three to six months for an appointment, no waiting weeks to hear back from someone when you email or message, no weird site layout that’s nearly impossible to understand. It’s an extremely intuitive and fast-acting platform that’s made medical stuff miles easier for me.
I'm less than 3 months into transitioning, I just turned 40 and I feel like I'm living, truly living, for the first time in my life. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for FOLX.
I’ve been on HRT since 2016 and have previously found a lot of anxiety when looking for an inclusive doctor’s office. We are more than just our hormones and with Folx I was finally able to meet a doctor who I immediately felt safe with and could be honest about past experiences. They were so caring and understanding, above all they saw the various aspects that create my identity and respected them all.

Through Folx I've had medical issues solved that have been unaddressed by traditional doctors for years. The upfront pricing, easy access to appointments and 3-month refills solved my constant stress over getting my medications. Finding Folx has been a life saver, thank you so much for making the struggle of getting medical care as a trans person so much easier.
