mjdxp - Trans Survival Guide


Warning: This page contains information mainly directed towards transgender people living in the United States.

If your country's government does not allow you to acces information about trans healthcare or you do not like political content, please close this page.

Due to the recent inauguration of President Donald Trump, trans rights in the United States are in danger. As of January 22nd, 2025, Trump has already signed executive orders essentially making non-binary people no longer exist in the eyes of the law and banning using taxpayer dollars to pay for gender affirming care. It is likely that the worst is yet to come, with many anticipating a total ban on hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

This page intends to provide resources for transgender people who are looking to survive the next four years throughout Trump's presidency. Links will be provided for information such as DIY HRT, immigration, trans santuary cities and states, etc.

If you would like to contribute material to this guide, please send me a message via the Fediverse at mjdxp@labyrinth.zone. Additionally, please let me know if any of the material I have posted is no longer hosted, relevant, or up to date.

The links on this page will be split into categories based on their subject matter to make browsing easier.

DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

DIY HRT is the process of getting HRT without a prescription for a doctor. While it's typically not recommended if you can get HRT from a doctor, for many it's the only way to get HRT and may become the only way American trans people can get HRT during Trump's presidency. Please note I will not link to any sources due to potential legal issues.

DIY HRT Wiki

This wiki is a fantastic resource with lots of general information about DIY HRT. I suggest any trans person looking to get DIY HRT checks out this website.

"DIY HRT: Everything I Can Legally Tell You" by Lily Alexandre on YouTube

A YouTube video with a lot of great advice about starting DIY HRT. This video may get taken down due to the subject matter, so I will try to post a mirror if that happens.
