Before you make an appointment with the clinic, call the Eligibility Office at (602)344-1015. Be sure to bring ID, birth certificate, SS card or passport, income info - at least 30 of pay stubs or school registration forms, and proof of address (water or electric bill, rent stub, voter registration card, etc) to the Eligibility appointment.  I don’t know what it’s like to navigate healthcare as an undocumented trans* person, but this looks like it’d be quite difficult. They accept students though based on the information here, so hopefully that helps at least some undocumented trans* folks in the area. This is the clinic I called and had some questions for. I asked if they require a therapy letter, if you have to present in a binary fashion, and if you have to identify as binary. They said (as in Dr. Jennifer Baumbach who runs it) you do not need a letter and how you present or identify is entirely up to you.  For the cisgender women who have the privilege to pick where they go for medical help and want to support trans* friendly spaces, this is normally an OB/GYN that is setting aside one day a month for trans* folks in the Phoenix area (and we desperately need this one day a month).
