Hair transplants aren't just about hair; they're about defeating dysphoria and channeling confidence.

Whether you're looking to fill-in your hairline or fill-out your beard, Dr. Dilan Fernando at the multi-award-winning Treatment Rooms London is a true artist. His clinic is known for the incredibly natural results it can give almost everyone looking for gender affirming care, but he also has a special reputation for his work with transgender patients, both MtF and FtM.

In this episode, we explore all the ins and outs of this specialised surgery including the benefits, risks, preparation, recovery, and how to pick the perfect provider. Dr. Dilan's passion for his work shines through, and it's easy to see why he's so pleased with the work he and his co-founder do with painstaking care.

If you're hoping for some hair-raising (or hairline lowering) happiness in your future, please tune in.

You can reach The Treatment Rooms London at https://www.treatmentroomslondon.com/ and via their contact form. While they are physically located in London, they run virtual pre-op and post-op appointments from numerous UK locations. You'll find more information on that on their site.

Note: We met Dilan through a regular consultation process when Rachel was shopping for her own hairline feminisation. Her surgery and the interview portion of this podcast were completed before we invited him to join our book’s sponsor list. We are thrilled he did.

Pull up a comfortable chair and join us as we share the second part of our interview with Dr. Marci Bowers.

Dr. Bowers is renowned for her exceptional surgical work, work that has brought about remarkable advancements for all women, cisgender and transgender alike.

Her dedication to both groups is testament enough, but after thousands of vaginoplasties and hundreds of metoidioplasties and clitoral restorations, she is also a first in more ways than deniers of gender affirming care can count. She is the living embodiment of a theme she espouses throughout this interview: "Don't be afraid of who you are." She is fearless. We could all use more of that.

In this very special episode of The Joy Tuck Club, we sit down with Dr. Marci Bowers—trailblazing surgeon, passionate advocate, media-figure, WPATH President, and genuine trans icon. Marci shares her deeply personal journey from childhood in small-town America to becoming the first transgender woman to perform gender-affirming surgery.

We talk candidly about her early attempts to access hormones, the challenges of transitioning while building a medical career, and what it meant to take over the practice of the legendary Dr. Stanley Biber. Along the way, she reflects on identity, privilege, sexism, and why sisterhood sometimes looks like someone holding your pizza box while you pee.

This is the first of a two-part conversation that covers everything from obstetrics to Oprah, all told with Marci’s trademark warmth, wit and wisdom. Whether you’re trans yourself, an ally, or just curious about the lives shaping modern gender medicine—this is not one to miss.
