Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy

Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida offers gender-affirming hormone therapy to adults 18+. We see gender-affirming care as an important service that really goes to the core of our mission.

Important Update: On August 26, 2024, a U.S. Appeals Court blocked a lower court’s order that allowed for expanded access of gender-affirming care in Florida. The most recent ruling now reinstates Florida’s restrictions on gender-affirming care. At Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, we believe everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression has a right to access health care and make decisions about their own bodies, lives, and futures. We will continue to monitor updates to care and work to continue to care for all our patients in compliance with the law.

Our Services

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

Estrogen-based (feminizing) hormone therapy

Testosterone-based (masculinizing) hormone therapy

Microdosing or intermediate dose hormones

We can 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.
