Hey there ! I’m Theo, better known online as Notidee.
I’m a nonbinary independent artist currently trying to pay for top surgery after getting the go from my surgeon and psychiatrist.
- The “Too Long Didn’t Read” :
-The surgery itself costs exactly 4050 euros.
-The extra featured in the fundraiser has been calculated for : Preliminary exams (mandatory !), transport, accommodations for recovery, my dog’s pet sitting bill during hospitalisation, one(1) cocoa for moral support.
-I do not have access to healthcare for reasons detailed bellow
-My favorite pokemon is lucario (fight me)
- Story time !
This is the part where you get to know me a bit, it might be boring af (skip it ! I won’t know) : So again, I’m Theo, or Notidee. I work as a full time independent artist and try to navigate making enough income to live with no financial support system. I’ve been formally diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Raynaud syndrome and Long Covid. There’s a bit of old boring depression in there too following the recent loss of several family members including my father last year, and a few friends. Let’s say I’m close to a complete pokemon team. Just missing lucario.
All of these (except lucario) make it difficult to find and keep a regular job in between the mental health cycles which conventional employers cannot accommodate and the physical symptoms which include nerve foolery (PAIN. It means bread in French), frequent loss of sensation in extremities and decreased energy levels.
As for the transness, it has been officially recognized by a specialized psychiatrist a bit more than a year ago (mandatory to get access to medical accommodations) after reaching out several times over the last five years and getting, let’s say, unexpected responses from other medical professionals (who have since been reported).
I could go into funny anecdotes now but honestly I hate long novels in fundraisers and so do you I guess. Just know I once tried to sell my gender to my best friend when I was four. There. We’re done with the mandatory bit of “awwww”
Let’s keep going !
- Healthcare ? Healthcare ! … Healthcare.
As you might know by this point, I’m French ! Well Alsatian but that’s also for another time and place. And I live, in France, oui oui.
My country is known partially for its killer healthcare system, which applies to trans folks too. So why do I not, ask LA FRANCE to pay ?
Because enbies don’t actually exist
…For the French healthcare system. Getting your transition covered requires you to follow a very specific path and tick specific boxes, designed for people who transition “completely” in the eyes of whoever was at the wheel on that one. You guessed it, I don’t fit the criteria !
But I’m lucky enough to have found a surgeon who will take me without that whole formal mess : everything financial is however on me
- The end of the word
Thank you ! Thank you for donating even a single cent (maybe), thank you for reading, thank you for making it here, thank you for existing, and above all thank you for planning to get me a lucar- I mean for supporting transness (I assume you’re supportive if you’re here. Otherwise well, go eat ice-cream or something).
This didn’t really fit any part of the text, but any additional fund will go towards bills during recovery. I get sleepy with a Doliprane, there is no way I’m working on painkillers. Or I mean, if you want trippy and badly executed commissions, maybe it’s your time to shine ?
Anyway here’s me with a bunch’o doggos :
