10 Women Share Their Moving, Personal Stories About Planned Parenthood

Cat came out as transgender less than two years ago. "Health care when you transition in my state of Idaho is extremely inaccessible for trans individuals," she says. "But Planned Parenthood actually being there in Boise and Meridian and back in Idaho told me there were people there who could provide me with some form of health care that could save me from major medical issues." Cat decided to transition in 2015 and thanks Planned Parenthood for providing the support she needed during that critical time.
