Part of my funding also, I do a lot of work with HIV and HIV prevention. So a lot of my work is done via Ryan White funding. And there's some other kind of separate funding streams that's applicable specifically to gender affirming care. However, it's all kind of messy and tied up in a lot of those other funding streams that Dan mentioned.

And there's some specific limitations because of those funding streams, again, historically, because... Who knows right now? But through something called the Hyde Amendment, it means that our funding would be at jeopardy if we provided abortion care. So there are some kind of limitations. A lot of what we do as an FQHC is providing really comprehensive, expansive care.

We're kind of some of the few clinics that do everything that we do under one roof. But there have been some limitations, specifically abortion, to that point.

And like a lot of the ways that I talk to friends who live in other countries, like I feel like my role is kind of more similar to like a GP as a nurse practitioner. There isn't necessarily an equivalent, but I feel like a GP is kind of a very similar universal way to understand a lot of what I do.

So basically, Ryan White funding was initiated in, I believe, the early 90s during the AIDS crisis and was a large government initiative. It's named after Ryan White, who was a patient who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion. So Ryan White funding right now is a major source for funding things like PrEP, which is medication for prevention for HIV, as well as direct HIV treatment.

I mean, I think it's terrifying. I think I'm more on the patient-facing side. So a lot of the conversations I've been having are just about the uncertainty. I'm a prescriber for a lot of trans youth, adolescents, and young adults. And so, moreover...

The uncertainty of just being able to get their medication, the stress of being publicly named and targeted in this culture war has just created a climate of fear. As my job, I want to be able to reassure patients that I am going to fight for them and do all that I can. But it's really scary. As Dan mentioned, a lot of our patients don't have financial safety net.

They don't have a medical safety net. we're really the one option for them. And if our clinic does not continue to offer this type of care, these are our kids who are going to go without hormones. I prescribe puberty blockers. My work as a gender affirming care provider isn't just blockers and hormones, but those are medications that we know are life-saving.
