Hi all! My name is Alix, I'm 21, nonbinary, and I am trying to raise money for gender affirming top surgery. I am currently an undergrad Psychology student in Florida. I have been working hard to try and make this dream a reality since my freshman year of college, but I knew this was what I wanted/needed long before that.

Not only will this surgery cure my chest dysphoria, but it will also assist in easing the chronic back pain I have been experiencing since I was 17 years old. Chest dysphoria has made it impossible to feel comfortable in my body and my gender identity. My back pain has impacted every area of my life and even prevented me from getting a job for 3 years. Unfortunately, due to Republican anti-trans legislation, my insurance no longer covers gender affirming surgery. The estimate for the surgery as a an uninsured patient is $7,500.

My surgery is scheduled for May 5th and I am unbelievably excited! I have the best siblings ever who helped promote this fundraiser and who will help take care of me post-op. If you would like to help a trans person in need, anything helps! If you can't afford to donate, share this fundraiser with your friends!
