Help Donna transition, get a custom mix CD!
Donation protected
For those of you who aren't aware, your beloved Donna is a trans woman -- a rather expensive occupation. Aside from unicorn-hair wigs and gallon-drums of foundation from Costco, Donna has been getting laser hair removal ($2,000 so far), electrolysis ($4,000 so far), and has been paying for her medications and doctors visits out-of-pocket, as she is not insured.
But enough with the third-person. While I've been keeping my head above water (barely), the most expensive procedures are yet to come: SRS, FFS, and possibly breast augmentation.
SRS, short for sexual reassignment surgery, is a trick wherein a mustachioed man in a very large and expensive top-hat transforms the male genitalia into a shiny new vagina. The vagina shine is extra, and rust-proofing sets you back even more, but you're really gonna want it if you plan on using your vagina in the snow at all.
Total cost: at least $18,000.
FFS, short for facial feminization surgery, is an umbrella term for a variety of procedures including rhinoplasty, jaw/chin/forehead recontouring, hairline correction, and trachael shave. As you can imagine, it costs a shit-ton.
Total cost: oh god, at least $25,000.
Breast augmentation is, duh, the embiggening of the human booby. So far I've been growing mine the old-fashioned way: bovine growth hormone and a daily application of Grandma Chesty's Bust Uncture for Girls. I'm giving these methods a couple of years, and then I'm going under the knife. C-cup or bust! (Pun intended.)
Total cost: at least $2,500.
So I have almost $50,000 in costs ahead of me, and anything you could give would be greatly appreciated. But I'm not asking for something for nothing. For every donation in excess of $10, I'll be sending you a thank-you gift: a customized mix CD complete with hand-drawn and/or collaged album art! Here's how the gifts break down:
$10 : An EP-length mix CD, 4-6 songs or about 15-20 minutes.
$20 : An album-length mix CD, 10-15 songs or about 45 minutes.
$30 : A double-album (!) epic mix CD, 20-30 songs or about 90 minutes.
After you donate, just contact me with any requests: the kind of music you like, if you want there to be a theme (ex. good driving songs, songs about breakups, etc.), if you'd like the CD to be a dedication/gift for someone else, etc. -- it's your CD, you tell me what you'd like! And hey, if you just want a kickass compilation of songs that I think you'd enjoy, I can do that too! Also, I guess you could request not to get a CD, but frankly I'd be a little insulted. JK!
Please note that, due to shipping costs, if you live outside of NYC and/or I don't know you well enough to hand-deliver, I will either send you the mix digitally -- including ready-to-print CD inserts -- or I will ask for an additional $5 to cover shipping and handling.
Thank you so much for reading, and thanks in advance for any support you can offer!
