Gender Affirming Care at Kind Clinic is designed to provide our patients with culturally aware care in a safe and affirming space. Kind Clinic is a judgment-free zone, and we will keep information about your visit and health private and confidential. Everyone should have access to high-quality gender care and sexual health services, regardless of insurance, immigration status, or identity. We believe in kindness for all. Once receiving your gender care with us, you can talk to our staff about if any of our other sexual wellness services are right for you, including PrEP and PEP Access, HIV Testing, STI Testing & Treatment, and HIV Positive Care.
Kind Clinic clinicians follow UCSF guidelines for gender-affirming care.
We use an informed consent model. We give you the most current information we have about hormone replacement therapy, so you can make an informed choice about what to do with your own body. After prescribing hormones we will assist with access if needed, as well as referrals for other services or qualified physicians. Through our partnership with Out Youth we are happy to offer Transgender Wellness as an optional mental health service. Through our partnership with Austin Medical-Legal Partnership, we can also assist you with legal matters or requests like name and gender marker change.
Whether you’re looking to start hormone therapy (HRT) or seeking a new medical provider for hormone therapy, you are welcome to receive services through Kind Clinic’s Gender Care at no cost for labs or medical visits. There may be costs associated with hormones, but if you are experiencing financial barriers to access your HRT, you may qualify for our Kind Medical Assistance Program.
Yes, we do practice an informed consent model. So, no mental health letter is required.
Gender affirming medical care is provided to our patients at no cost.
Kind Clinic provides assistance to help cover HRT medication costs. With this assistance, HRT is offered at little or no cost to you.
The first part of your visit will be spent with a patient advocate. You will then see a clinician and complete required lab work before leaving the clinic. You will most likely receive a prescription for HRT that same day, unless the provider has a medical concern that would prevent you from starting HRT. STI testing is also available at your New Gender Care appointment.
Unfortunately, the wait time is the same for all new patients. We are unable to provide HRT prescriptions until you have been seen for your initial New Gender Care appointment.
No, we will set you up for a new patient PrEP appointment first. Your New Gender Care appointment will be scheduled out to next available.
No. State law prevents providers from treating patients across state lines. All patients must reside in the State of Texas to receive care.
We offer no-cost sexual health services to all members of the community regardless of race, creed, gender identity and expression, immigration status, sexual orientation, insurance status or ability to pay. We also have patient advocates with expertise serving the LGBTQIA+ community, who are with you every step of the way to make sure you receive all medications at little-to-no cost even without insurance.
