My name is Jade, and I’m a trans girl working toward a more authentic and confident life. I started hormone replacement therapy on September 11th, 2025, which was a huge step in my transition. While HRT has helped me in many ways, I still struggle with dysphoria caused by facial hair. It’s something that affects my self-image every day, making me feel sad and impacting my mental health. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin and share my true self with the world, but this barrier makes it difficult.

I’ve been researching options for laser hair removal and am leaning toward Milan Hair Removal in Buffalo, NY, which has great reviews and a supportive environment. My hope is to begin treatments as soon as possible, ideally over the next year, so I can move forward with my journey. Unfortunately, I’m unable to cover the costs myself right now because my job isn’t paying me after I took time off for my mental health and gender care. That’s why I’m reaching out for help—every contribution will bring me closer to feeling at home in my body.

Once I complete laser hair removal, I’m excited to share my journey and makeup creativity with others on social media. I know this will help me feel healthier and more confident, and it will positively impact my relationships and overall well-being. Thank you for supporting me as I take this important step toward living authentically.
