Zack’s Top Surgery!

Hey guys & girls ...My name is Zack O’Connor, I’m a 20 year old male. However I was assigned a female at birth. I was a very happy child growing up, being the youngest out of 10 I was spoilt off my older brothers and sisters and was very looked after. At the age of 8, I began to realise that something wasn’t right with in myself and I didn’t know what it was. I had no idea about gender-dysphoria and what transgender was. I never told anyone about this basically because I didn’t know what was wrong. I wore “boys” clothes 24/7 and would hang out with boys and would climb trees and play football and come home covered in bruises from doing what every other young “boy” would be In my teens I began to learn about what transgender was, and it helped me a lot. But I still did not open up about anything to anyone because I didn’t know if it was wrong to feel the way I did. As I got older I suppressed my issue more and more and that led me to acting out in school, fighting getting exclude every other week because I didn’t know how to cope with what I was feeling inside. So I stopped wearing tracksuits and jumpers and started to wear “girly clothes” and wore make up. I thought this would make me “fit in” . This obviously made me feel worse.At the age of 16 I came out as a trans male to my friends and still kept it quiet for months away from my family. I don’t know why I kept it to myself for so long, the way my friends and family reacted to me was overwhelming, they showed me nothing but love and it was kind of a kick in the teeth, like why did I keep it in so long and make myself feel so alone when I had all this loving, beautiful people around me that understood me. So let me just get to the point of this post... I chose to take the private route with my transitioning as the NHS was just messing me about basically. I am 13 months on Testosterone hormone replacement and I am looking to have chest surgery 2019. But of course the private route comes with a price. Now some of you may be thinking well it was your chose to take the private route so you can pay the private prices yourself, but what do you want people to do when they are left with no other options. I have been saving already but it is super hard when you have to pay for appointments with private doctors every 3 months which cost a bomb shell! I have a goal of £4000 to reach so that I can be free. By that I mean so I can have top surgery and be closer to the man Im supposed to be. So I am asking all my friends and family if they could help me reach my goal by donating anything at all to get me there .
