14 Apr Healthcare Resources and HRT for the Transgender Community in Montana
Hi Everyone,
This has become a very challenging time for almost all Americans and especially for the LGBTQ+ community. While we work to meet these challenges and support each other it is important to make sure we take care of our own health. We are updating our #Wellness Wednesday posts to document sites that are still compassionately offering Transgender health care services. We are doing this work by states in alphabetical order.
Many resources are, to their credit, creating comfortable places for routine and proactive health maintenance as well as interventionary health care. We will try to highlight what is offered in each case.
If you still can’t find the health care you need, drop us a note on FB (B.UR.SLF LLC), Instagram/ twitter @burslfllc or email burslfllc@gmail.com and we will see what we can do to help.
This week we are listing resources for Montana.
Montana
The news on gender affirming healthcare in Montana is still very positive even for children and adolescents. In May 2025, a Montana judge blocked Senate Bill 99‘s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, ruling it unconstitutional. This landmark decision, stemming from a lawsuit by Lambda Legal and the ACLU, overturned the 2023 law that had restricted access to puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgery for transgender youth in Montana. While this ruling is a significant victory, allowing access to critical care, the case may be appealed, and transgender individuals may still face barriers to accessing this care within Montana. Montana Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Families and Doctors and Montana Court Strikes Down Ban on HealthCare for Transgender Youth. Also see Resources for Families of Transgender Youth in Montana.
