The activist, 27 years old, is fighting openly to increase the availability of hormone replacement therapy.
Eli Erlick has caught the attention of Libs of TikTok, a conservative Twitter account that favors sharing videos created by liberals, the left, and the LGBTQ+ community.
When she was only 16 years old, she co-founded Trans Student Educational Resources (TSER), a group that works to make schools safer and more supportive places for transgender kids.
It is one of the largest transgender groups in the country and the only one in the country led by trans young adults.
Since then, Eli has been a pioneer in the transgender rights movement through her advocacy, writing, and research.
Eli Erlick’s Net Worth
It is estimated that Eli Erlick has a net worth between $2 and $3 million. She headed the Trans Student Educational Resources’ 2015 national campaign for trans women’s admission to all-female colleges and institutions.
She also helped with Trans Student Educational Resources’ draft of a model policy for admitting transgender students to institutions catering to women.
In 2016, Erlick was heralded by Teen Vogue as the “New Face of Feminism” for her role as a “young feminist changing the game.”
What Does Eli Erlick Think About Her Sexuality and Gender Identity?
Eli is a New York City resident and out gay man. Eri Click’s experiences with bullying, isolation, and assault began shortly after she came out as transgender, at the age of eight.
For years, Eri was ridiculed and intimidated because she was not allowed to use the school bathroom.
The campaign to expand access to hormone replacement therapy is something that American author, academic, activist, and founder of the Trans Student Educational Resource Eli Erlick is now discussing.
“Extremely queer and very trans,” Erlick describes herself. Her parents met at a protest and that is where their involvement began, so she grew up in a very activist household.
Eli Erlick, who is Jewish, grew up in the countryside near the Californian town of Willits. She suffered from childhood isolation and bullying.
At 13, she began her career as an advocate and writer, and by 16, she had co-founded the non-profit organization Trans Student Educational Resources.
She went to Claremont’s Pitzer College, from which she emerged a semester early and with the highest honors in 2016.
Erlick reveals that she got her start in activism in 2010 at the age of 15 when she joined the board of an LGBTQ youth conference in her area.
Her first public appearance was more than a year later when she advocated for the School Success and Opportunity Act in California, the first state law to protect transgender youth.

She advocated for transgender students’ inclusion in all women-only campuses and emphasized the importance of healthy skepticism toward all governmental initiatives.
In 2015, Erlick argued in an article why the transgender movement shouldn’t seek equality.
The Advocate and Refinery29, among others, have praised Erlick’s organization.
Erlick writes for publications including Teen Vogue and Glamour, where she discusses cultural and media trends in the context of fashion.
When Glamour named her College Woman of the Year in 2017, she became the magazine’s first transgender recipient of the honor in its 60-year history.
Erlick has written multiple articles about the fashion industry. In an interview with Yahoo News, Erlick said that the general public’s ignorance about gender identity and gender expression made her feel forced to dress in a feminine manner.
