Axelle's chest surgery
Donation protected
My name is Axelle (they/them) and I’m a Black, queer, non-binary activist and student. It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with my trans identity, but I’m happy to say that I’m finally at a place where I can not only accept it, but also celebrate it.
Trigger warning for the next paragraph: extreme gender dysphoria and mention of self harm
Despite this, I still suffer from extreme gender dysphoria, mainly with my chest. I’m a size 38G and there has never been a time in my life where I’ve been at peace with this part of my body. They're very painful both psychologically and physically and I suffer from intrusive thoughts where I want to cut them off myself. I’ve been binding for around 8 months now but even though it’s a temporary relief, it gets really uncomfortable and I always dread the night time when I have to take off my binder.
I’ve always found it difficult to ask for help but this is the only way to alleviate my dysphoria. I’m asking for donations for my breast reduction surgery so that I don’t have to imagine what it’s like to be comfortable with my chest anymore. I know some people are in a tricky spot with covid-19 right now so even a share will help! A smaller chest will not only help me feel more aligned with my gender, it will mean that I’m finally free.
