Trans Health Project (TLDEF)

Transgender Resources · Connecticut · Free

Health insurance advocacy for trans people. Help with denied claims, appeals, and finding affirming care. Relevant for parents of trans youth navigating school, medical, and legal systems together. Trans-led organizations are often the best referral source for affirming providers; lived experience changes the recommendation. Trans healthcare access varies wildly by state — what's standard in one state is banned for minors in another. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Connecticut residents and allies.
