Trans activist boasts about illegally supplying cross-sex hormones to youth

Trans activist Eli Erlick has openly boasted about supplying hormone blockers to minors, describing herself as a 'proud criminal in Mississippi.'

About 100 bills have been proposed across 27 states aimed at stopping children from accessing hormone blocking drugs and other types of 'gender-affirming care.'

Erlick admitted to ordering four times the estrogen and testosterone blockers they require and giving the remaining medication to youth who don't have access to the drugs. 

The trans-identified male activist encouraged others from the community to do the same after Mississippi became the latest state to ban transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming care.

Erlick took to social media to proudly explain her illegal cross-sex drug distribution network.

'I'm now a proud criminal in Mississippi for 'aiding and abetting' lifesaving medicine for trans youth,' Erlick tweeted Tuesday.

'I realize the risks of posting this but it's more important to encourage others to share lifesaving medications than guarantee one's safety (granted I'm in little danger in NY).'

In a separate post Erlick said: 'I order 4 times more estrogen & testosterone blockers than I actually take. You should, too.'

'Several states have now banned trans medicine for minors but we won't let a single young person go without medication. We'll provide care ourselves if youth can't access formal medicine.'

The next day the 27-year-old founder of the organization Trans Student Educational Resources, which seeks to promote the wellbeing of transgender youth, took a swipe at the newest anti-trans bill in Florida.

'Florida's newest anti-trans bill is the scariest yet. It lets the state not only kidnap trans kids but also cis children with trans parents or siblings,' Erlick tweeted.

'They only need to be 'at risk' of receiving trans healthcare (whatever that means). This should be front-page news.'

Following the posts, conservative commentator Matt Walsh tweeted to say that he'd contacted the Mississippi governor's office regarding the alleged crime.

'Erlick has admitted to many crimes but never to committing one in a state that is not only willing to prosecute but has the political will to do so. This was a serious error and I intend to fully exploit it,' tweeted Walsh.

'Eli knows 'she's' breaking the law but thinks 'she' can get away with it. Trans activists are used to getting away with whatever they want by emotionally manipulating the public. They think they're above the law. We're not gonna let them get away with it anymore,' tweeted Libs of TikTok.

The drug distribution operation appears to have been started in 2021, with the trans-activist in September of that year posting to Instagram about 'redistributing extra hormones to people who can't access/afford them.'

In May last year, Erlick revealed more details about the drug trafficking scheme.

'There are over 20 states trying to criminalize hormone therapy, particularly for trans youth. So, my friends and I had an idea: sending out our extra prescriptions around the country,' Erlick wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, according to thepostmillennial.

'If you need hormones, I'm working with a distribution network to get you access. Everything is free, no questions asked. We have hundreds of doses of testosterone, estradiol, and spironolactone available right now. All are prescribed by doctors and unused. 

'Each package comes with information on dosage, obtaining bloodwork, etc. I realize this is only a band-aid solution: we need full access to affirmative medical care from professionals immediately. 

'However, missing a single dose of hormones can be devastating (especially for trans teens and those new to hormones)!

'These laws are outrageous and I can't wait for them to be overturned. In the meantime, DM me if you need HRT or if you have overprescribed hormones you'd like to send out.'

The posts come after the debate over the rights of America's transgender people intensifies this year, with scores of Republican-led bills aimed at banning puberty blockers in front of state legislatures.

About 100 bills have been proposed across 27 states aimed at cracking down on cross-sex drugs and treatment for minors.

Oother draft laws are being debated in state legislatures cover everything from which pronouns can be used in classrooms to whether trans girls can play in trans sports teams and if trans people must use bathrooms that correspond to their birth sex.

They are being debated as trans people complain about battling prejudice in a fight for their survival, while parents of trans-identifying teens bemoan their kids being indoctrinated by online ideologues, some even encouraged by their teachers.

Mississippi's Republican governor Tate Reeves last month signed a bill prohibiting health care professionals from providing both hormone treatments and surgical procedures.

The ban outlaws the prescription and administration of puberty-blocking medication and cross-sex hormone therapy in patients under the age of 18. 

It also prohibits surgery related to gender transition and makes it illegal for people to 'knowingly engage in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of gender transition procedures' to minors - which Elrick admitted to doing.

Under the laws, any health care professional found to be in violation of the ban will have their license to practice medicine in the state revoked.

It also gives people who 'assert an actual or threatened' violation of the ban the right to bring civil suits against 'against any facility, individual or entity' for violating its provisions. The statute of limitations for bringing such suits is 30 years.

'At the end of the day, there are two positions here. One tells children that they're beautiful the way they are that they can find happiness in their own bodies,' Reeves said at the time of signing the bill.

'The other tells them that they should take drugs and cut themselves up with expensive surgeries in order to find freedom from depression. I know which side I'm on.'
