Gender Affirming Resources in Portland, Oregon
In Oregon, gender affirming HRT can be obtained via an informed consent process between you and your doctor. This means that you do not need a letter of support for hormonal transition.
Clinics who offer HRT through the informed consent process:
Outside In offers Gender Affirming Hormone therapy via Informed Consent from ages 15 up, ages 13-15 do need a guardian for HRT at that clinic. https://outsidein.org/health-services/transgender-and-gender-non-conforming/
Planned Parenthood also offers gender affirming HRT https://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/oregon/portland/97212/ne-portland-health-center-3943-91400/transgender-hormone-therapy
For top surgery you will typically need one letter of support, unless your insurance or provider tells you otherwise. For bottom surgery you will need two letters of support.
