i would if it weren't prohibitively expensive and i think i have to move out of this fuckhell state first
also it might be super difficult for me to get T regardless if i'm in a red or blue state
I'm in a deep red state and have to travel to a neighboring state (also deep red) to get my t. It's got to do with the bs age of adult laws. They should have it be the same age everywhere. Why can't I make my own medical decision but go into the military and vote...makes no sense.
Anyway, might help to research prices on goodrx. A lot of times you can get it significantly cheaper. Injections are the cheapest and are usually only around $20. I found me an informed consent pcp, which made it relatively easy to get it. There's a large list of clinics and drs in the US by state who will prescribe trans hrt that I can send you if you want.
i have an informed consent clinic in mind (easily accessible by bus too since i cannot drive) but no idea how much the appointment is going to cost me and all my income anymore is from selling unwanted possessions after being denied medicaid and SSDI.
Hmm...there are some grants you can get if you look around online. I came across some a while ago but forgot where I found them. Try trans equality.org and websites like that
Depending on where you live you might be eligible for your state specific expanded medicaid program. I couldn't find a website that will let you look up what your state calls your plan but https://www.medicaid.gov/state-overviews/state-profiles/index.html will let you know if your state has such a program (all but 10 states have an expansion program). If your state does have an expansion program do a search for "[STATE] + medicaid expansion" to find your state run government website and you can see the eligibility requirements. The common requirements are that you don't qualify for other assistance (medicaid and SSDI) and that you make less than 138% of the federal poverty level ($20,783) so it sounds like you might qualify.
I was able to enroll in my states medicaid expansion program and get an appointment at an informed consent clinic that accepted the insurance. Both T and E are covered under my states plan but I don't know if that applies to all states.
i have actually looked into this before, and my state does not offer expanded medicaid, but thank you anyway
