<div>Hi, my name is Lucy, I am a disabled, neurodivergent, working class trans woman and filmmaker ️‍⚧️ ♿
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You may know me from my feature film 'Pronouns in Bio' or my short film 'A Tight, Warm Hug', both of which document my transition which I shot and edited by myself. My third film, about trans woman rapper and producer htmljones, came out in early 2026.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although I find it embarrassing to ask for money from friends/strangers, the huge cost of Facial Feminization Surgery makes it essentially inaccessible to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2020, when I was s--cidal and actively self-h--ming, I discovered that trans people exist and realising that I was one of them, began my social and medical transition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then I have undergone various medical procedures to align my body with my gender;
</div>
<div>- (2020-2021) Started lazer hair removal
</div>
<div>- 27th June 2021 - Started private hormone replacement therapy (HRT) whilst I was on the NHS waiting list
</div>
<div>- July 2024 - Started Electrolysis
</div>
<div>- April/May 2025 - Had dermal filler
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All of the above have been entirely self-funded, apartment from HRT covered by the NHS since 2024 and a limited amount of electrolysis sessions on my face/neck funded by the NHS.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite all of the above, I still experience a huge amount of discomfort every day which impacts my mental health dramatically.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I constantly worry about how I am perceived by other people and with trans hate crime on the rise year-on-year, I avoid using spaces like public toilets as much as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I feel that facial feminization surgery is essential to align my body with my gender, and to make me feel safer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upon discovering that the NHS does not cover any surgeries for trans women apart from "bottom surgery", I had a consultation with Facial Team (facial feminization surgery experts based in Spain) in July 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am confident that I'll be in safe hands there, since many other trans women I know of have had their FFS with Facial Team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>FacialTeam's updated quote as of July 2025, which includes transport to and from the airport and accommodation, is 40,656 euros - approximately £35,000.
</div>
<div>Minus my savings of £10,000.
</div>
<div>Add 2.9% to cover GoFundme fees and money for taxis/flights and I'm left with around £26,000 to raise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although I've struggled with chronic fatigue and brain fog since mid 2023, I do as much freelance/volunteer work for the trans community outside of that as I can, which has included;
</div>
