Does Planned Parenthood offer Hormone Replacement Therapy for transgender people?

Someone asked us: 

Can Planned Parenthood provide hormones to transgender people? And if so, what are the costs?

Why yes, yes we do. There are an increasing number of Planned Parenthood health centers that offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for trans clients. (Cost will vary depending on your insurance and Planned Parenthood health center policies.) Currently, the Planned Parenthood health centers that offer hormone treatment for trans folks are: 

California:

Colorado:

Maine:

Montana:

New Hampshire:

New York:

North Carolina:

Vermont:

Washington

IMPORTANT NOTE: OBTAINING HRT THROUGH PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY SORT OF PSYCH DIAGNOSIS OR SEEING A SEPERATE ENDOCRINOLOGIST. IF YOU LIVE IN THESE PLACES AND WANT HRT, PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS

THIS IS SUCH AWESOME INFORMATION :D

Pretty much every time I reblog or post about this, I get at least one person telling me they had no idea Planned Parenthood offered HRT. This is really important, ya’ll.

As @4lung mentioned above, Planned Parenthood offers HRT under informed consent. This means there is no requirement for a psych diagnosis or seeing a separate endocrinologist.

this is really great but keep in mind there are so many people who can’t access this. like I live 2 hours away from the nearest of these and don’t have a car, and I’m sure there are thousands even worse off than me, like anyone living in the south or mid-west. also hormones are expensive and even insurance providers who cover hormones are less likely to decide it’s medically necessary if you haven’t gone through the different evals, which means no coverage.

like I’m not trying to be a downer I just want to remind people that there are still a lot more hurdles between trans people and hormones. keep fighting.

Nobody said ‪#‎AllLivesMatter‬ until we said ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ Nobody said ‪#‎HeterosexualPrideDay‬ until we had ‪#‎GayPride‬ Nobody wants ‪#‎WhiteHistoryMonth‬ until its ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬ Nobody mentions ‪#‎MensRights‬ until we talk about ‪#‎Feminism‬

This shows me that you don’t actually care about these things, you just want all the “minorities” to shut up so the status quo never changes.
