Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy

Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida sees gender-affirming care as an important service that speaks to the core of our mission.

Due to recent legal changes, we are not able to take new patients at this time while we adjust our operations to comply with new state restrictions. Our team is working diligently to restart our full range of treatment options for patients as soon as possible. 

Our Services

We offer gender-affirming hormone therapy for transmasculine, transfeminine, non-binary, and gender diverse individuals. We can provide:

• Feminizing hormone therapy
  • Androgen (Testosterone)-blocking medications: spironolactone and/or finasteride
  • Estrogen-based medications: pills, injections, patches
  • Progesterone
• Masculinizing hormone therapy
  • Testosterone-based medications: injections, gels, patches
  • Scalp hair loss: finasteride
• Microdosing or intermediate dose hormones
  • Low dose gender affirming hormone therapy is an option that is often considered when individuals want certain changes but not others or for some folks wanting to maintain an “androgynous” appearance, or those seeking slower or more subtle changes.
  • It can include low dose estrogen-based medications, low dose testosterone-based medications, androgen blockers, and/or progesterone that is customized based on the individual’s goal to achieve one’s authentic self.

We may be able to start or continue gender-affirming hormone therapy and provide referrals for gender-qualified therapy and resources if needed. If you are on hormone therapy, you can utilize the health center for ongoing care and monitoring.

Minors and Gender-Affirming Care

Due to the Florida Legislature’s recent assault on bodily autonomy, and the new legal restrictions placed on the services we offer, Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida is no longer able to provide gender-affirming care treatments for minor patients.   

Planned Parenthood believes that your body is your own, and that you have the right to be your most authentic self regardless of gender identity or expression.
