Spironolactone 100 Mg Tablet Pill Bottle, 2020
01
Artifact Overview
Laura Bowman began her medical transition to female with this hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medication. She crossed out her "deadname"--the male name she was given at birth--and kept this bottle as a symbol of her journey. HRT provides gender affirming care to trans and nonbinary people. This medication suppresses testosterone and is often used in conjunction with an estrogen supplement for individuals transitioning male-to-female.
