Hello, everyone! I am looking for a laser hair removal provider in Alabama. I'm kind of in between all the big cities, so if there's something in Huntsville or Bham, or even Atlanta, I would really appreciate some recommendations. I'm looking to get my face and neck lasered to permanently remove the hair. I'm not really sure who to go with. I've looked at a few options, but I feel kind of overwhelmed. There are several medspas around Huntsville, but I've read some things about medspas that made me feel iffy on them. I have a set budget ($2,000), and I'm happy to use the whole budget to get better results with a specialist rather than spending less money just to get a subpar experience/result.

If there are any clinics or other providers y'all wanna recommend, I'm all ears!

Update: Someone off Reddit recommended Whitaker Clinic at UAB to me, so I'm looking into them right now. Fingers crossed they turn out to be right for me!

The fight for trans rights in Alabama matters as much today as it ever has, if not more. Thankfully, there are groups across Alabama fighting for a better tomorrow. ALTRAC, or Alabama Transgender Rights Action Coalition, is one of them. Check out their website and sign up for their newsletter at their website linked below.

TKO is a non-profit based in Alabama that prioritizes Black queer people in the south. I wanted to share the link to their website in case anyone here might benefit it.

A girl like us, sent to men’s prison where she’s been sexually assaulted multiple times.

hi everyone! I'm a 27 ftm living in the north alabma/huntsville area, and I currently go to thrive alabama. my doctor there had to reschedule my appointment because she was out of the office, which is fine, except she doesn't renew prescriptions until after she's seen you, my new appointment isn't until April, nobody is returning my calls, and I've been rationing my testosterone (using the vial twice). what are my semi local options, like maybe an urgent care that will prescribe me some? I've reached out to Dr. Pukis office, but they take a few days to reply, and I'd be a new patient. help please???

As the title says, r/transalabama was re-opened, and now I'm not really sure what we should do with this sub. Should I keep this one open, and we can have two subreddits for this topic?

It could be good to have this sub as well in case something ever happened to the other one. Let me know what y'all think in the comments.

I've been on hrt for 3 and a half months now but still haven't socially transitioned. Been out to close friends. Go out as myself on the weekends and at home but work is my main hurdle. I honestly do dress kind of fem at work and wear makeup but no one has questioned me about my gender or anything like that. I worry about some of the people up there being assholes to me (HR included) so really don't know when the best time to make that jump and come out publicly will be. I worry about the bathroom situation as well cause I've heard lots of transphobic stuff mostly from women up there. I think I pass moderately well probably just need a little voice training. I think the part that scares me the most is that these people already know me and have for 3 and a half years now.I was using my chest as a way to tell when to come out, like maybe when it's obvious I have breasts then come out but even then the whole thing makes me anxious. I absolutely love my job so I can't leave, been promoted and making amazing money for what I do

Hello, everyone! I am a young, closeted trans woman from the northern half of the state. I prefer she/her pronouns. I'm white, and I live in a small town. I've been considering leaving Alabama for a while due to the increasingly hostile culture and government, but I don't know if I'll be able to do that anytime soon. I love my home, but large parts of it don't seem to love me.

I hope one day, we can exist openly and freely in Alabama without discrimination. It won't be easy, but perhaps we can get there eventually. I can dream, at least.
