If you’re 17 or younger, you need your parent or guardian’s consent to get gender-affirming hormone replacement therapies (HRT) like testosterone and estrogen . However, some states are trying to pass laws blocking people under certain ages from getting HRT, even with parental consent. Contact your nearest Planned Parenthood health center to find out what’s happening in your state.
For now, you can legally get HRT across the United States on your own if you’re 18+, or with a parent’s consent if you’re under 18. But access isn’t just about the law:
Not all Planned Parenthood health centers provide HRT, but all Planned Parenthood health centers provide a safe and welcoming place for transgender and nonbinary patients of any age. Check with your nearest Planned Parenthood health center to see if they offer gender-affirming health care, and what their policies are around age. If they don’t provide HRT, or have age limits that affect you, they may be able to refer you to other providers in your area.
