Description:
In this talk, our medical student will discuss historical and current barriers to gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) that have contributed to DIY HRT as a practice; medical benefits and risks associated with DIY HRT; and strategies for DIY HRT harm reduction, including how to communicate about DIY HRT with clinicians. This talk will center qualitative studies of interviews and oral histories from trans and gender diverse patients who use or have used DIY HRT as a means of resistance and community care, given ongoing threats to GAHT access.
