almost three weeks ago, my girlfriend and i were violently abducted by ICE. since then, I have been doxxed by Pam Bondi, and I am concerned for my safety. posting publicly about this is obviously a decision I had to weigh carefully, but I am hoping more good comes of it than bad.

hi! my partner and i opened an #electrolysis practice in minnesota!
we offer pay-what-you-can sessions, making electrolysis more affordable than at any other permanent hair removal location. we have already been able to treat clients who would otherwise not have been able to afford hair removal.

however, we currently only offer electrolysis. we really want to offer laser hair removal, because the majority of trans women in the area need laser first, but machines and training are expensive. we plan to pursue a business loan next year, but we want to crowdfund as much as we can prior to taking out a loan. for anyone unfamiliar with the process, laser can take care of dark, coarse hairs on lighter skinned people. it is significantly faster and because of that, less painful overall.

feel free to ask any questions! a few donation venues:

https://opencollective.com/trans-care-collective/contribute/laser-hair-removal-96615/checkout?interval=month&amount=100&contributeAs=me (preferred)
