During Season 6, we watched Jazz and Noelle's friend, JoJo, work through some of her reservations around gender confirmation surgery. Jazz stepped up to talk to JoJo's mom and reluctant grandmother about the breast augmentation top surgery that Jojo wanted to pursue.

Saying that her gender dysphoria "has been pretty bad," JoJo candidly shared that "taking the hormones has not worked in the way that I would have liked it to, like, my chest isn't where it's supposed to be." 

"It's gotten to the point where I don't want to go to work, I don't want to get out of bed, I don't want to do anything," she continued. "I just want to stay in bed and wait until I blossom into a female."

But JoJo had a change of heart in the weeks that followed, though she is adamant to point out, "I don't think my grandma influenced me." 

"As far as my breast augmentation goes, my need to have the surgery kind of plateaued," she admitted, adding that "it's not really there anymore."

"I think it was little bit of my own soul-searching," she continued. "You know when you dig deeper into what's causing your dysphoria? I realized it's my genitals and how my true feelings and true emotions are for bottom surgery."

While the process to be approved and eventually get bottom surgery is a long one, JoJo is "1000% sure that bottom surgery is something that's going to help me." 

In order to move forward with the process, she is beginning family therapy "to get my grandma to understand what this is and what it means and why I need it." 

We're so happy for JoJo and the progress she's made!
