Rabbit's story
Electrolysis Support Fund recipient
Rabbit (she/her) is a BIPOC trans woman navigating life with resilience and grace. Like many trans individuals, she has faced systemic barriers that have made accessing gender-affirming care incredibly difficult—especially as a woman of color. Despite these challenges, Rabbit continues to push forward on her journey, grounded in strength and self-love.
Receiving support for hair removal would be transformative for Rabbit’s mental health and daily well-being. It would help ease the dysphoria that makes it harder to fully show up in the world as herself and allow her to move through life with more confidence, safety, and peace.

What is it?
Point of Pride provides grants to trans femme people seeking hair removal on their face, neck, or an area of the body in preparation for bottom surgery.
What is life like for a person who needs this care?
For trans femme folks, particularly trans femmes of color, access to facial hair removal often equates to safety against anti-trans violence or discrimination. It's common for applicants to note issues with employment and public safety, particularly if their facial hair is dark or thick. Electrolysis and laser hair removal services are often deemed cosmetic and therefore not covered by health insurance plans.
What is the impact of this care on the recipient’s life?
Access to hair removal often leads to a more positive emotional well-being, increased confidence, increased safety when in public, and better opportunities at employment and more.
