Austin pharmacist denies trans man testosterone prescription.
this session, trans Texans have every reason to fear they’ll lose access to hormone treatments crucial to their well-being., a 34-year-old trans man living in North Austin, that fear became a reality last week when aMartin says his pharmacist’s explanation for not filling his prescription was that she was uncomfortable with the doctor’s instruction that the medicine be administered, meaning as a shallow injection under the skin.
Hayden Martin told us she was able to contact the pharmacist in question two days after the refusal to fill the prescription. “She would not give a reason as to why she felt the doctor was wrong,” Hayden said. “And she said, ‘I'm not comfortable filling it for ‘her.’ So automatically the assumption is that it's just an issue of her not being comfortable with the fact that it’s testosterone for a trans man.
A Texas law passed in 2018 allows pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions on religious and moral grounds as long as they pass the prescriptions to colleagues who will fill them. Hayden said this didn’t happen for her husband. Tristan was later able to fill his prescription at a Walgreens close to the one which denied it. But he feels shaken by his experience.
“Obviously, our community is being attacked on all fronts right now, and it's very blatant,” Martin said. He pointed to, a bill soon to become law which will ban the only known medical care for minors suffering from gender dysphoria: “They're on the way to passing that here, that no youth can have any trans care. So to know that your own government, that’s supposed to protect you and know what's best for you, is fighting against you – that’s devastating.
The Martins said they decided to speak out because of the dehumanization of trans people underway in Texas and the nation. “What we are asking for is accountability,” Hayden said, “for this person to not hide behind their license and to admit that, yes, she felt some type of way because this person is different from her, and to educate herself and to hold herself accountable. Because at the end of the day, we're all people.
