Rosie Transition Fund: The Queen's Nose

Well everyone, we're here, it's time to tackle one of the biggest sources of dysphoria, my nose. During my adolescent, I had a puberty I didn't want. I had to watch in horror for years, including as an adult, as my face grew in directions I found deeply distressing and despite being considered quite attractive, I have never been able to come to terms with what testosterone affected in my face. Luckily it is possible to change these things! I'm going to have a series of surgeries for my face as part of Facial Feminisation Surgery, and the first part of this is Rhinoplasty, as it is one of the easier surgeries but also something that is more of a priority for me.

I'm not looking to change my ethnic features, I'm just looking to reduce it to how I feel it could have looked, had I not been subjected to the wrong development. Unfortunately, even the NHS does not include FFS in their transition timeline (assuming I ever see any support from that at all) So regardless of the future, I will need to pay for this surgery, quoted around 4 grand.

It's important to me to be able to make changes that can't be taken away by policy changes. By being more comfortable with my face will make it easier for me to go outside, look at myself, and feel more at peace with myself
