Meet Luna-Jo

Luna-Jo (she/her) is a non-binary trans femme individual whose journey toward authenticity has been shaped by both hardship and deep personal growth. Raised in an unsafe home, she learned early on that femininity was met with bullying, rejection, and danger. “I learned to conform,” she shares. “To wear my boy clothes and ‘like’ boy things.” For nearly four decades, Luna-Jo blended in, minimizing herself to stay safe.

It wasn’t until a major life upheaval forced her to reflect deeply that she began her transition and embraced her truth. Today, Luna-Jo sees her identity not only as personal but spiritual, part of a practice rooted in continual self-evaluation and service to others. “If nothing else, I want to be a model for others and she that it’s possible to pursue authentic living regardless of the social consequences,” she says. “I’ve found contentment and serenity in myself for the first time in my life.”

But her beard remains a painful symbol of the mask she once wore. “My stubble is a constant reminder,” she explains. She currently shaves twice a day to manage the dark shadow that contributes heavily to her dysphoria. Without financial resources, permanent hair removal remains far out of reach.

Receiving electrolysis would be life-changing. It would allow Luna-Jo to finally shed the remnants of a mask she no longer wants to wear and continue living in alignment with the woman she knows herself to be.
