Jasmine's Transition Medical Costs ️‍⚧️️‍⚧️️‍⚧️

Hello, as you probably know, I am Jasmine and I am a trans woman (she/her).

As you may not know, being trans is incredibly expensive! NHS waiting times (most often over 5 years) force people to use private healthcare, but for many people they cannot afford this, and suffer enormously. There is a mental health crisis amongst trans people in this country because access to healthcare is denied to us.

For me, private healthcare adds a monthly cost of around £200 (for hormones, subscription to private healthcare, and facial hair removal).

However, I am also trying to raise money for surgery costs. Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is very expensive (and not provided by the NHS at all). I would be looking to raise £20,000 for life changing, gender affirming FFS surgery.

The timescale for this is very much dependent on how fast I can raise the money! But for my mental health, the sooner the better.

I hate being put in a position where it feels necessary to ask for money, but I have been encouraged to do so by numerous friends, so I am doing it. The worst that happens is I am in the same position I was to begin with, the best that happens is I raise some life changing money!

Trans healthcare saves lives!

Lots of love,

Jasmine
