Help me become ME ❤️
Hi I’m NIKKI and I’m trans.
I started my journey last summer and I’m asking for any support because the whole thing isn’t cheap, so if anyone can help me out that would be awesome. x
I’ve NEVER asked for support before, but I guess I’ve never needed it... I’ve spent my entire life pretending to be cis male and couldn’t go on any more... in fact I’d been in denial, but I’ve been trans supportive since day one... and now I know one good reason amongst many why that is - because I too am trans.
This isn’t a whim or a ‘fetish’ - to give you some idea of how much this is real, this is what I’ve done so far:
* Changed my name legally, had my name and gender identity changed on the nursing register, plus altered other important legal stuff in order to validate myself.
* Weight loss - male ‘me’ has been VERY overweight because I’ve lacked self-esteem and motivation for... well, all my life really. A typical ‘yo-yo’ dieter because I’ve been unhappy with myself - already I’ve gone down two clothes sizes and this time I’ve a REAL goal so this is going to continue.
* Been referred to a Gender Identity Clinic - hopefully to be seen before the end of the year
* Having counselling - I can’t not - my mental
wellness is paramount to me, and although I feel in a good place now, I know that’s not going to be 24/7 - I’ve had issues with depression and anxiety throughout my life and I’ve had support before so I WON’T let myself go under - positive steps.
* So far thanks to people kindly supporting I’ve had lip enhancement and other treatments to feminise my appearance and this has given me more confidence than anyone will ever know
I’ve no intentions of coming out with any fake info. here and I’ll be completely honest - any donations should I receive them WILL go towards helping me become who I truly am and will help pay towards any treatments plus anything needed which will include private consultations, electrolysis and other non-invasive procedures, prescriptions (hormone therapy/testosterone blockers) etc.
The money will NOT be going towards any surgical procedures - this isn’t going to be a ‘pimp my body’ thing, so I’m going to do this slowly and accurately for ME.
Please don’t get me wrong - I’ve supported many girls in the past who’ve had surgeries and that was right for them - but we’re all different, and my path won’t be the same.
There are no demands here from me, but for anyone who can donate a MASSIVE THANK YOU - because you will be sharing my path to validation and that is something wonderful - I’d also like to acknowledge EVERYONE who helps and highlight that - to me a good deed deserves recognition.
Also - I produce pieces of digital art (like the one of me in the header) - I would like to do EVERYONE who donates a unique piece of artwork takenfrom a photo of their chosing as a thank you... it’sthe very least I can do x
You can see examples of my work here.
