Hello. Max here!
 I have been thinking about posting a fundraiser for a little while now, the aim has always been to get myself to a position financially where I may be able to self fund the top surgery and related consultations necessary for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. I started my transition about a year and a half ago and I am grateful that I have been able to find the funds to start on testosterone, the impact of that has been massive! My voice is lowering, there’s hair growth and I feel that the way I look is starting to align to how I feel inside. these things really are gender-affirming, I feel the strongest and most authentically me that I have *ever*!! That being said, as many trans and queer people do, the reality is that I struggle at the moment with gender dysmorphia, particularly around my chest and have tried wearing a binder to alleviate this, when it gets really bad. It gives the appearance of a flat chest and I don’t have to think about the clothes I wear, especially if out in public. Binding has its benefits when I am able to do so but also has heightened my feelings of anxiety and struggle to catch my breath. Meaning that I tend to choose not to go out and I have stopped playing football competitively in fear that I will again feel the waves of anxiety, discomfort or distress that I have been experiencing for the past year. This massively impacts my mental health as it leads to isolation and low mood/feelings of depression. It’s just a sad situ to find myself in. 

 I recognise my privilege here, in asking for help, and want to be as transparent with this process as possible. There are many others, trans, NB and QTIPOC ppl and friends in similar position, and who need the funds more so than I do, so please donate to those as a priority where you can. they mean a lot to me!  Through my drag and through different fundraising events, I would like to raise &amp; redistribute some of the funds and will share more details on those soon. Any leads on this please do lmk too! I hope to get myself financially to a position where I can fund this journey myself in full asap and have been exploring new/extra employment and seeking financial advice to do this. 
When I am able to raise the 2/3 of the total costs I require, I aim to continue to donate and fund other fundraisers through this platform and others. I am v v aware of how expensive life is for some many atm, in the cost of living crisis, so whatever you have to spare is appreciated and sharing this far n wide helps too. a quid here and there can go a loooooong way! Here’s to a life FULL of love for my body. To everyone who has been supportive up to this point, thank you.  All my love and gratitude always, 
Max :) (he/him)
