I guarantee we're going to see some of these bans on trans healthcare for adults become law this year.
We need to be taking lessons from the fight for abortion access right now. We need organizations that can assist with funding procedures and with organizing travel across state lines for care.
And we absolutely need methods of accessing HRT from outside of states where it's banned. I've been wondering if eventually something similar to the process for mail forwarding abortion pills might be possible for those of us on HRT.
I already do telehealth appointments for my HRT, and I get to do my routine labwork at any LabCorp location; then my prescription is mailed to me from an out of state pharmacy.
So...if I made a telehealth appointment in a state where gender affirming care is legal, and I had a post office box in that state to use as a legal address, and then I had the mail from the PO box forwarded to my home address...could that be a possible work around if gender affirming care is banned in my state?
Especially given that the department of justice decided this week that the postal service can continue to deliver abortion pills to people in states where abortion is banned...presumably a similar approach would be taken to prescriptions for gender affirming care?
This is just me thinking theoretically, of course.
