Plume provides specialized digital healthcare for transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people through telehealth. It offers gender-affirming hormone therapy, transition support, and mental health care via a membership-based model. Members pay a recurring fee to access a range of services, including prescriptions for estrogen or testosterone (medication costs vary and may be covered by insurance), a one-time letter of medical support for surgeries, and access to support groups. A dedicated Care Team, familiar with the unique healthcare needs of TGNC individuals, delivers coordinated, affirming care without requiring patients to educate their providers. Plume’s goal is to make comprehensive, affirming healthcare more accessible and convenient for people undergoing gender transition and related health needs.

Plume, a startup founded to offer essential online healthcare services to trans people across the U.S., laid off more than two dozen workers in October, several sources close to the company told TechCrunch.Transphobia is rife within the healthcare industry; it’s one reason why transgender patients struggle to access basic care. Legal barriers are also on the rise. In the U.S. alone, state lawmakers have introduced close to 150 bills this year to restrict trans healthcare.The need to expand access to life-saving, gender-affirming therapy was apparent when Plume launched four years ago, just as it’s clear today, particularly for folks in rural areas. So it’s disconcerting to see telehealth company Plume, a rarity in the startup world for its focus on serving marginalized people, quietly lay off around one sixth of its workers. About a year ago, the startup raised a $24 million Series B.A spokesperson confirmed that Plume laid off a portion of its staff in an email to TechCrunch
