Folx Care Fund

This grant has allowed me to pursue HRT in a financially sustainable way. I was so excited when I learned I wouldn’t have to deal with the transphobia of my local pharmacy and potential HRT providers, and I wouldn’t have to out myself or justify my identity to my family if I went through insurance.

My process of HRT is about choosing myself and exploring the curiosity of my gender. Receiving the HRT grant has allowed me to have a long-time dream come to fruition.

I am a nearly 30 year old transgender man and only just this year finally been able to start hormone replacement therapy officially. Without insurance approval, HRT ends up very expensive-so I spent years trying to find low-cost alternatives and access points, but am not in a convenient location to get assistance that can be found in bigger cities. I thought I was never going to be able to transition, but the HRT grant has finally broken down that barrier to let me begin my journey after years of waiting. Words cannot overstate how much it means to be able to transition with nothing standing in my way.
