Help Thea fully transition by 35 ️⚡️
I can't believe it, but we're into the final month of fundraising for my surgeries and are SO nearly there! With less than 30 days to go, the end is in sight!
My name is Thea Bardot and you may know me as one of LinkedIns top LGBTQ+ voices, where i've been openly sharing my trans journey for the past few years and helping as many people as possible along the way or as the host of Trivia darling, a weekly quiz at the Corset Club!
Having strutted through the workplace as a gender non conforming icon, snatched trophies + taken up space in recruitment + hospitality, publicly changed my name and brought y'all along with me to my gender affirming surgery, it's been a wild ride and i've learnt so much about myself + so honoured to have given y'all a glimpse into life as a trans person ✨
Well now, i'm looking for YOUR help to fund the final part of my medical transition and achieve my goal of fully transitioning by 35 ️⚧️
So what does that actually mean? Well to me this means that it will be a time where I am able to look in the mirror + not have an ounce of gender dysphoria and to feel fully present in my body. It's the final part of this fight to authenticity.
After organising my vaginoplasty via work and having recovered this year ('24), it's now time to feminise my FACE!
After doing all the research and paying an initial deposit of the funds (circa 5K EUR) I am thrilled to have booked to have Facial Feminisation treatments with industry leaders FacialTeam in December '25 in Marbella.
I'm hoping to have three main procedures to get my face to where i'd like it to be, these are:
Forehead Reconstruction
Hair Transplant
Rhinoplasty (nose job)
I've outlined the cost of these procedures and the additional costs alongside them too for transparency:
Forehead Reconstruction - 10,900 EUR
Hair Transplant - 7,700 EUR
Rhinoplasty (nose job) - 7,200 EUR
Hospital fees - 3,750 EUR
General Anaesthesia - 2,250 EUR
Material Costs (inc CT scans) - 1,700 EUR
Accommodation for recovery for 12 nights - 2,500 EUR
Total - circa 35,000 EUR / 29, 500 GBP
Having paid the deposit to guarentee a surgery slot via credit card I now have until October '25 to raise the remaining funds through savings + gofundme, which is £25,000. It's a big ask, but I can't put into words how much I need this surgery to be at peace, so I really want to make it happen.
I've not asked for financial support during my transition over the past few years, but I am now hoping that people who have been following along with my story all these years would consider investing in my future ️⚧️ it would mean the world to me if you're able to and all donations are very welcome!
Your support, love and generosity has continued to help me through this journey in a world that tells trans people we shouldn't exist and thank you for reading my story.
If I can get these final surgeries done before my big 35th bday in '26 then that would truly make me the happiest person on the planet and hopefully give some more hope to trans people in the workplace that aren't out yet that this is all possible. I'll be here continuing to fight for y'all too!
